Cmon. BC and AD are normal and accepted. Let's stop using Sunday thru Saturday cuz those relate to Norse religions.

Im certainly not calling u one or saying your post does anything wrong. Just pointing out this is why the internet atheists gave the rest of us such a bad rap. Championing stuff that is thinly veiled anti-christian is a bad faith motive, divisive, confusing, and demeaning of tradition that didn't need changing. If the years were different numbers, different story.

Isn't it blasphemy for someone to say Christ is "our" Lord if they aren't Christian? How am I being "anti-christian"? Who's being divided or demeaned?

I even said "AC" i.e. "After Christ" would've been an acceptable substitute and had the advantage of matching "Before Christ" which is in English. AD and BC is a mishmash of English and Latin that always struck me as weird.

The academic world settled on CE and BCE instead. I don't care. It's unimportant.

Does using any of those names imply that you believe Odin is the All-father?
