Ordinal numbers start with first, second, third - not 1, 2, 3. The year 0 is irrelevant and nonexistent in the ordinal year system that has been used. Why try and fix something that has never faulted or has passed into history? It's a shame that we as a race of people feel the need to replace something that gives millions if not billions hope and love with something that takes that away from people.īCE/BC and AD/C, it doesn't really matter, as you have stated. Happy surfing.ĭon't care about American media etc. I appreciate the slight hypocrisy of this post but was looking up interesting facts of history and was quite surprised at the general content of this discussion and felt the rare need to compel people to reconsider posting more irrelevant nonsense. To use this as a platform for aggressive argument and small-minded opinion sharing is tedious and wasteful.

#BC AC EXISTANCE TIMELANE FREE#
To those religious readers, you are already aware of the folly of the unbeliever and would preach that, while you hope to welcome then into salvation, free will is bestowed from above and personal opinion is between yourself and your maker.Įver so simply put, no god demands individuals to enforce their will on their fellow people and no person should feel impelled to behave thus as they ultimately know no better than the next person.Ī common point of reference is the point of a calendar and as long as you are understood by another when using either, then it has served its purpose. To those who are not religious, you already think Christianity and other such beliefs unfounded and are aware of the futility of convincing a person of faith that there views are misguided. I can't remember a time where this has ever been a contentious subject in my life and would seriously question the impact it really has on anyone. I don't think this article really warrants this much tangential rhetoric at all. Seems to be an awful lot of unrelated posting on here. How terrible and violent will every day be when everyone around you no longer cares about anything or you. Many religious people do the right thing when no one is watching because they know God is watching. You anti-religious people will keep chipping away at Judeo-Christian values until they are gone. But if you can't handle BC and AD, I suggest you get out of America. I don't care about Christianity and sure as hell don't care about Islam. If you are not Christian, and whine about BC/AD being too Christian, then use BCE/CE. Why fight over such a stupid thing? I could care less which thing we use, but seriously, if you are Christian, use BC/AD. Who cares? Religion was created to control the masses. Our conscience works with this law and you cannot escape it. Have you ever asked the question what makes us inherently understand right from wrong? If we came from nothing (it's scientifically impossible for something to come from nothing), how does one explain the conscience? Wouldn’t we be a more like a void without any feelings of love, remorse, or fear? The general laws of God are written on everyone's heart.

Can you deny the fact that you’ve questioned the existence of a higher power and whether God exists? Do you want to know why that is? Because God gave us a conscience. Whether you believe in God and Christ or not, doesn’t make their existence not so. Changing BC To BCE, or AD to CE, doesn’t make the existence of Christ not so.
