You know how in Rome people named the years based on the consuls in charge that year? And how middle eastern people calculated dates based on the king/pharaoh in charge at that time?
If Jesus is the King of the Universe, the logical conclusion is counting years starting from his Birth and the beginning of His Kingdom.

"Christian Era" does, but the Jewish textbook writers (and it's not that /pol/ to say this, it's simple fact) define it as "Common Era" in an effort to whitewash the whole thing as much as they can. Now, the number itself is obviously still a date since Jesus or approximately, but the name is now purged of any such reference.
>>14075569
That's just it. The Hebrews making this stuff up don't hate the pagans the same way they hate Christ. Name a month after Julius Caesar, or Augustus? Cool. Name the days of the week after Thor and Odin? Right on. Name the year after Jesus? That's anti-semitism!

I'm not even anti-semitic, I'm a pro-Israel boomer and Zionist for eschatological reasons, but if you don't see this stuff you're blind.

>retaining christian calendar but renaming to common era
don't they realize this just further naturalizes the use of christ as the fulcrum point around which all history turns? it's completely fucking retarded. BC/AD leaves the issue open and frank instead of just pretending it isn't based on that. plus Anno Domini is much fucking cooler to say than Common Era. Tyson/Harris/Dawkins fags need to leave

Same thing as 2000 years ago. They thought killing Jesus would end the whole thing, it didn't. They'll keep attacking Christianity, but thankfully "you can never kick Christianity downstairs, only upstairs."
>>14075660
I'm well aware. But it's the Westernized liberal Jew I'm afraid of, Bibi and his friends at least are at arm's length and can't do much more than get us into dumb middle eastern conflicts (which is very bad, but the spiritual decay of the west at home is worse).
>>14075664
Even using Latin would legitimize Christ. Accepting Latin in this context is accepting Rome, and accepting Rome as having anything to tell us about the calendar would come too close to accepting her in her later years as an authority on religion.

I really don't understand why leftist academicians insist on using BCE/CE dating when they still use the same numerical calendar for sake of convenience. They are all inauthentic radicals who stop short of living true to their ideals because they know it's impractical.

As much as authors may try, they aren't going to succeed. Fighting 2000 years of tradition, both religious AND secular? Not going to happen. This is just a temporary fad, and it'll go away eventually. And as >>14075632 says, they aren't going to the effort to actually make a meaningful change so it's just going to reinforce the Jesus death date thing even more.

Honestly the idea of a non-christian system of measuring time ain't that bad, but C.E/B.C.E is plainly retarted as it defeats it's own purpose. Despite the rebranding, it's still Jesus's birth that defines the calendar. If they trully wanted a new, non-christian calendar they could measure time beginning from the construction of the first temple or the production of the first writing.

I think BCE and CE replacing BC and AD is the perfect example of the utter pettiness of Jews and also their complete control over society. It's really redpilling when you see how far they're willing to go to change something so small and trivial. And people think it's conspiratorial and crazy to think that these same people would also want to and work towards the destruction of the Christian/European culture and its people.
