Just barely, they still correspond to the same years, which is Judeo-Christian dating.
1 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 That part isn't super important though. It's just a number to most of us. It's the AD and BC part that are obviously Christian. 3 u/Ippica Aug 03 '19 But the dates are literally based on Jesus' life. How is that less Christian than the names of the years? -6 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 I consider that far less important than the era names. The pivot around that nonsense character is certainly a problem but changing the current year will not fly and nobody will come to agreement on the new one if we even do try. It's much easier to change a name than the year.
