I think changing the dating system is fine (I don't have anything against the current one though) but I think BCE and CE are really stupid. What's the point of changing the letters when the date is still based on the Bible?
>>996706

Lyl.
Personally I don't care if cunts use either dating names. Its just arbitrary shit that keeps us from using fuckhuge numbers at the end of the day.
>>996706
The focal point should be changed to something around the earliest recorded date.
And while they're at it replace the Gregorian calendar with one modeled on a slightly more accurate calendar such as the Bulgar or Solar Hijri calendar.

That's like getting mad at an English man for forsaking Fahrenheit in favor of Celsius. I don't get mad at people who still use BC/AD but the standard has been changed, get used to it.
why are theists so butthurt?
>>996706
We name some of our weekdays after norse gods and some of our months after the roman ones, I see no point in changing how we name time
>>996716
I can't say this for sure, but my take on it is that BCE/CE refers to the universality of it, not it's historical basis.
Think about it. Literally every county on earth uses it, regardless of cultural or religious background. Yes, some countries might use other secondary systems, but if you could go up to any person on the street from one of these countries and ask them "Is the year 2016?" and they'd say "yes."
Before our modern, global world, other calendars still existed. The Chinese used their own one which has a few thousand years more. The Muslims used one dating back to the founding of Islam. The Aboriginals probably didn't even have one. But then, thanks to the colonialisation, the industrial revolution, and finally globalisation, we exist in a world where virtually every polity uses it, without question, without opposition. We are literally living in the *common era.*
>>997447
There's groups of atheists and secularists that want to change those, too.
It never ends.
>being so fucking petty you care what other people do with their lives
Is it because theists are bored out of their brains waiting for Jesus to never return?
>>996719
>>997371
BC and AD have a start point, that is the supposed birth of Christ.
BCE/CE is literally just a renamed BC/AD. Atheists are literally cucking themselves when they use this naming convention because they would be regarding the birth of Christ as "common" when they pick the arbitrary start date.
>>999419
Literally who cares.

>>999560
I'll give you a hint, it starts with "r" and ends with "eddit."
>>999430
People who actually give a shit about reasons behind naming things.
Now if BCE-CE was given a different event to seperate the eras, say the official birth of the Roman Empire in what's known as 27 BC, then the current year would 1989 CE and 2016 AD.
But as it stands, BCE and CE are just BC and AD renamed to remove all references to Christianity disgusted with Christianity that they'd lobby to remove G, O, D, X, T and t from the alphabet and make a new addition symbol something not as crosslike.
Why is atheism still legal? I wish we had a Christian version of Saudi Arabia.

It would be nice to make that distinction official with a new starting date down the line.

>>996706
It's called the "common era" because that's literally what it is: the calendar that everyone uses. "The year of our lord" is only accurate for a practicing Christian. It's not a big deal since we all know what it means, but CE is better than AD. "Petty" would be getting mad that people are using more accurate terminology because you're mad that not everyone is a Christian.

1. These are supposed to mark the birth of Jesus's birth. Most historians do not think this represents his actual date of birth which throws the whole system out of whack.
2. Ad=In the year of our lord. Not everyone considers Jesus their lord (no it's not just atheists). It doesn't make sense to ask every person from every religious background to use Christian terminology when the study of history is supposed to be neutral and international. Common Era is more appropriate.
>>1000647
It's sort of like the metric system. Not having CE/AD is a better way of measuring, it's easier to remember and has less problems. However we've gotten so stuck on the old system transitioning is hard, escpially when all the old documents are written in the old form.

>It's sort of like the metric system.
It's not though. It's calling a pint a liter and declaring it metric.
BCE/CE is just an attempt to distance the west from its own history.
You're not even giving an international or secular start point, you just get triggered by Christianity. And before you say "you're the one triggered!" remember you're the one who hates the letters but not the date.

This. We should do things just because it makes other people mad. We shouldn't do things because it is logical and/or aligns with our beliefs, but because what we do is counter to other people's.

It's based on the birth of Christ, and the religion he created. Christianity is great. That doesn't mean I believe it, though.
It's change because, while we recognize Christianity's influence, Jesus is not our lord.

I think it's a needless confusing mess to just change BC and AD. I remember a comment by Lindybeige that I think would've been a better solution for everyone.
Keep BC and AD, and just change the 'meanings' to 'backwards counting' and 'ascending dates'. That way can please the atheists without having to adjust standard vocabulary to say exactly the same thing.

Go to North Korea or something, pal. They use a nice, non-Christian calender built upon truly scientific principles that you undoubtedly enjoy.
I prefer 'Holocene Era/Human Era' or H.E., this year beaing 12016 H.E.. I think it evokes a more accurate sense of the length of human habitation since the last glacial maximum. It expands the mental remit to a fuller scope of time. Also, the era is almost equally split in half by periods of pre-civilization and civilization.
mfw live in an orthodox christian country, but people use "old era" and "new era". "before christ" is also heard, but rarely.
If you don't believe, why should you use Christian terms?
>>1003551
a better question is why would you care? Why not just use BC and AD? Are you some special snowflake autist that you NEED a new system?
>implying Jesus was even born on January 1, year 1.
Calling it AD is not accurate even if you are a Christian.
>>1002836
It used to be ante Christum natum or "a.C.n"

>>1003557
>a better question is why would you care?

Because using BC/AD is would be giving credence to something I don't actually believe in. It works both ways, if you're a Christian, why should you use secular terms?
Not everything is le edgy athiest special snowflake syndrome. I didn't ask/want/need a new system but it's perfectly understable as to why one exists.

it's not about accuracy, it's about change for the sake of change. People have been refuting the date of christ's birth since like the 4th century. It's stuck because everyone is used it but it's been 2 millennia now it's part of humanity.
Changing it would also result in another Y2K scare but worse because stuff would actually break. Nobody would willingly allow that except if the year only applied forwards, meaning there would be BC, AD, and then a new division, like UC. But that would have to be an event on a global scale so that the year before year 1 was year 2016, and could also be referred to as 2017 (2 UC) for a generation to give technology room to not fuck up.
The only thing that's trying to happen is a name change, like if someone renamed Christchurch, New Zealand into 'city hall', New Zealand just because it wasn't inclusive enough. WHO CARES, there's history behind the name, why don't you pave over German graveyards too because you decided they shouldn't be honored, or why don't you knock over the Jefferson Memorial because there are too many monuments to white men, "it isn't proper."

I think we should change those too honestly. The Gregorian/Julian calendar is retarded. We should start the year on the spring equinox and have no months. We should use BC and CE and never BCE and AD.
We should celebrate the Supreme Being and the cult of reason every equinox and solstice as national holidays and change the weekday names to the names derived from Latin like in romance languages.
We should also invite but not force Catholics and Christians to celebrate easter on the equinox, and Christmas on the solstice so that they coincide with the secular national holidays. Of course school years will be based on the Islamic lunar calendar so that people graduate faster with Ramadan off instead of the summer and of course the solstices and equinoxes off as well as Venusday, Saturnday and Solday. In my utopia we have six hour work and school days four days a week obviously.

>>1004022
It isn't secularizing society because you're still using Jesus' supposed birthyear as a reference point.
Furthermore, while this will sound Jewy to the extreme, not only is it useless, but it actually costs more money, since BCE is going to cost more ink than BC.
It's just a useless waste of time and resources, when there's more important stuff to change (i.e. some schools in the deep south still teaching Creationism, the entirety of the Middle East being stuck in the past, etc.)

Sure, there is no denying the scope of Western influence throughout the world but changing the dates from BC/AD to BCE/CE is nothing but self-hating politically correct hypocrisy, as it’s presented as some kinda religiously neutral system while remaining based on the exact same European Christian religious principles as before.
There is nothing “common” about Christ’s birth to Chinese history or Indian history or any other non-Christian ethnic group.
If ivory tower academics were honest, instead of just looking to tear down Western civilization, they’d push for a dating system based on the Atomic Era, (BAE/AE) which is based on universal science and not religion.

I think my own picks, going a full Easy mode, I'd probably pick the date of Jacob's birth myself.

We could argue all day about when and where the printing press came, the advents of iron and steel differed from place to place, and trying to allow it to be "Different for every nation" basically invalidates the point of a 'common era'.
So I choose Jame Watt's Steam Engine. If any Asians want to argue, they can submit an EXACT year for the invention of something equally important. (Admittedly, Chinese gunpowder is a close second)

United Nations foundation.
Am I the only that that thinks it's better spent using the creation of the Internet? Seems like it's the invention that has had the largest impact on human life.

Not that fucking speshul unless the UN manages to found a world government, lead space explorations, and fight off aliens.

But that's retarded, you can be an absolute agnostic and say you do not know whotsoever and don't take a position.

The generally assumed date of birth is a few years before the start of AD.
It's blatantly wrong to use BC and AD even as a christian.

I agree, it also removed backwards-counting dates which are pretty pointless.
But it will never be adopted because converting from the current convention is too much effort to be worth it. That's why CE/BCE is the only compromise that's gained steam, because there's no need to convert any dates. But that also means it basically changes nothing.

Actually, thinking about, HE is still based on BC/AD.
A better method would be to use 1950 as a milestone because of radiometric dating (look it up), and have the HE start 10,000 years before that, since 1950 is the start of the 'present' and the holocene runs from approximately 10,000 years ago to the present.
So we're now in the year 10,066 which is a pretty cool sounding year.
Actually, you all use Unix time, you just don't realize it because you're a bunch of ignorant humanities majors.

You're just from the "glasses with the current year used as the frame" company trying to make yourselves relevant again for another 35 or so years.
I use neither. Instead, I use eaa. and jaa.

After checking, the Holocene is actually about 11-12,000 years before present, so let's arbitrarily go with 12,000 to reduce the chance of negative dates coming up. Which puts us in 12066.
I'm onto something here, motherfuckers.
Let's go with a calendar based around the only event that holds the same importance to all of us...
B4 = before the founding of 4chan
A4 = after the founding of 4chan
TFW you realize that it doesn't really matter because the coming singularity will render the recording of time as a linear notion completely meaningless.
