Why do I still use AD instead of CE for history? #shorts

It’s just a bunch of pagan nonsense, bunch of triggered losers got together and thought up the CE and BCE garbage

Im actually with Neil Degrass Tyson with this, one of the few things i respect his additude on.
BC/AD and BCE/CE all centre around Jesus, so pragmatism says "doesnt matter", but the Gregorian calender we use was made by papal scholars. They deserve the credit, trying to erase the church from history does history a disservice.

The year is MMDCCLXXVI ab urbe condita and that’s the way I like it.

As NdGT said the entire calendar system was designed by the Church - the GREGORIAN Calendar. Changing BC/AD because some Atheists feelings got hurt is rather pointless. Personally I think we should use the Star Trek calendar, and not because of my lack of religious beliefs, but because it would make programming a LOT easier.

It’s also super disrespectful to the people that came up with the calendar in question. They deserve that much respect.

It removes a lot of the bias and it has more of a non-Christian and non Jesus crap Darkness bias.

"BC" and "AD" were essentially retconned hundreds of years after the alleged event.

Its also easier to hear without confusion.
"Which peiod are we talking about the EE EE EE period or the EE EE period?"
Ad sounds clearly different to bc. And yeah its still a Christian centric calendar no matter what you call it.

I use BC & AD as it is from the Gregorian calendar. Pope Gregory had some mathematicians & astronomers do some work to replace the inaccurate Julian calendar. It was a major feat and fixed our calendar issues. It was implemented in 1582. I figure they did work so good it that still works so I’ll give them credit for it. Besides, the BCE and CE still uses the Gregorian calendar and it’s reference to Christ, so no difference.

I love that I'm not the only one that refuses to use BC/BCE

This is a very white western Christian viewpoint. You are potentially alienating a very large part of your viewership

Please do the navy seabees

- It's not Anno Domini, it's the Common Era?
- And what denotes the common era?
- Well, the birth of Christ...

I'm going to be honest, none of my chemistry professors and most of my history professors could give a flying fuck which one of these you used, as they still use the same point in time based on the Gregorian calendar.

Yeah but BC and AD are just really shitty at showing times. Like why use a biased and religious method of showing time in a supposedly unbiased study of the past. Also CE and BCE just make more sense. Like seriously I couldn’t save my life by figuring out what AD meant. BCE and CR make sense. Common era makes sense to represent the newer and more modern history and BCE just means before that.

People cry over the dumbest things

I liked AD and BC because it uses a sort of pattern that helps give a clear difference so they don't sound the same

Now we know that Christ is a myth… the end.

Yeah i like my history but dont be that twat thats a stickler for bce/ce and bc/ad it makes me think you you know very little, also they both mean the same thing one has a cultural meaning and one is culturally dead, imo

Before Christian era, Christian era 😂😎

I refuse to switch Because the catholics invented it and they can name it whatever the fuck thy want

I thought CE is "CEntury" and BCE is "Before CEntury"

Majority of libs and atheists are ungrateful as fuck. If you don’t want the Christian references stop using the Gregorian calendar. That pope don’t owe you shit.

Let's improve the Gregorian calendar! I think a far better thing to base a calendar off of, would be a verified, genuine event with evidence and an exact date and year, that all scholars can universally agree happened, where and when, in an exact way.

I give you: The Vesuvian Calendar.

August 24 79 A.D./C.E. is year "0" for the entirety of 79, which is an actual year in this system.

Year 80 A.D./C.E. is year 1. Simply subtract 79 years. Welcome to year 1944 A.P. (After Pompeii)

"Jesus was born" [citation needed] 78 B.P. (Before Pompeii)

There. Fixed your international calendar, and even gave it a year zero, also known as Anno Pompeii (A.P.)

Why is there a fuss about BC and AD

Christians also solved many issues with our calendar. To say BC and AD isn't historical is just silly.

I still use BC and AD not for religious reason, but because the Pope Gregory Xlll is the one who ordered the calendar to be fixed. This is why its called The Gregorian calendar. We still use the same calendar created so many years ago. So I simply give them the credit for the amazing work they did.

I feel, even though I am not religious, that BC and AD respect history more so as the calendar is centered on a major historical religious event. I actually find the use of BCE and CE to be insulting to the religion that formulated our modern day calendar.

Different color, but the same taste

"CE" is a horrible sound combination that's obnoxious to say. It's worse than "rural". If you're gonna arbitrarily rename something, rename it something better.

The only point of the change is to minimize Christianities contributions. It’s as simple as that. No one in science is willing to acknowledge where the roots of what they are doing spawned from because they are bigoted and petty.

I keep trying to explain this to people

Neil Degrasse Tyson agrees

Damn I thought AD was after death as in after Jesus died

Also for what its worth using the new terms does a disservice to the jesuits who spent so much time making the greatest calendar system that the entire world started using it.

Sure does it reference a religious figure at its core? And does that bother folks for modern woke reasons? Sure does.


But the new terms are still referencing the same calendar made by the jesuits. Its just a washing of history to not offend a minority of the population of the world

So Christ means means messiah which is why some nonchristians wont use that word, especially if their religion has a nonjesus messiah as a functional point. The issue isnt saying before or after jesus. We could just use BJ, i suppose.

Kinda like the scottish play that shall not be named....

Also pope greg. made the calendar we have now so it wouldn't hurt to give them credit by using bc & ad

Common Era based on what? Be somewhat commonality? People just want to erase the influence that Christianity had because it was influential. Which I get Christianity has done a lot of terrible things, I understand that people want to be neutral but you can't exactly do that without erasing a lot of the context and the modern context in which we live. It is ideological to say Common Era and before Common Era. Ironic

We should start our human calender when people started recording days, months and years. We should just have it be the year 12,023, because that is how long humans have been using calenders

I thought A.d was after divinity

Also it completely negates the church’s contributions to science, specifically astronomy and horology. It’s so disrespectful for the sake of being disrespectful; do you like the Gregorian calendar or not bitch!? 😂😂😂

Edit: I’m an atheist

And tbf AD and BC just rolls of tongue better

ce/bce fans when you ask them what happened between bce and ce (their brains short-circuited)

I don't use AD because he's not my lord, simple as

Also if the Christian church made the most accurate calendar to date one that we still use we should honor that by bc and ad

Except he (AS) was born around 3 or 4 AD...

Bro even Neil deGrasse Tyson uses BC/AD
