Did you know that there is a depiction of biblical things on nearly every monument for dead presidents in Washington, D.C.? Why not write you your senator and ask them to destroy those? The coins and the religions were here long before you were. Get over it and suck it up just like Christians have to suck it up when athiests want to shove their non beliefs down their throats! *is agnostic*

shadowpunk360 #1 How the whole world counts time by BC AD why the hell are years meassured by ONE dude ...its insane! Sure he MAY HAVE done some good things? but come on if you ask me the church has WAY too much power evil #2 Ever single U.S coin has "in god we trust" it may not be directly connected with christianity, but still what about athiests and its thier " THE SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE" in the constitution! that has been totaly massacred and forgotten. (ps sorry about my spelling i know it sucks!) You seriously need to mellow out. Who really cares what is printed on a coin?

fluffypants Did you know that there is a depiction of biblical things on nearly every monument for dead presidents in Washington, D.C.? Why not write you your senator and ask them to destroy those? Because I'm not American, and because I don't really care about them all that much. fluffypants The coins and the religions were here long before you were. Get over it and suck it up just like Christians have to suck it up when athiests want to shove their non beliefs down their throats! *is agnostic* And the US government was designed to be secular long before you were born, why not suck it up when people try to preserve that, and keep the religious people from pushing their religion into government. Also, secularism != atheism.

You know what's funny about the whole system of measuring time by Christ's birth? The guy who came up with that screwed up. He got the date about 4-8 years off, which means that it's anywhere from 2011 to 2015 now. Way to go on that one, numbnuts.

More people say CE. Common Era. It uses the same years, though. Before that is BCE. It's pretty stupid, though. What do we have in common with someone from the year 4?

Well, it's stuck for now so unless you come up with something much more momentous and don't you dare say A.F (In the year of our Ford) it's not gonna change.

(ps sorry about my spelling i know it sucks!) 1. Most current historian now use the C.E. (Common Era), and B.C.E. ( Before common era). The old BC/AD system is used only out of tradition. 2. I don't really understand the significance of the " In god we trust" on the coins. They just put it there to put something official sounding.

It's archaic anti-communist propaganda. Atheism used to be associated heavily with Communism, therefore in an effort to destroy communism inside America, they put 'In God we Trust' on the coins.
That might partially explain the resurgence of evangalism in the latter half of the twentieth century.

redem It's not used often, but there is an alternative to AD - BC Basicially CE and BCE Common Era, and Before Common Era. It's not used often? I see it used all the time. >_> But then again, I hang out in an intellectial environment a lot, so that's probably it. lol, which reminds me-- In my World Architecture class my senior year of college, the professor was like "blah blah blah was built around 800 CE," and one girl raised her hand and was like, "What's CE?" And I was like *facepalm*

Honestly, I have only ever seen it used online, and in few places even then. Then again, history is not a subject I have studied in depth, which may have something to do with it.
