What is wrong with the term before Christ, after all, Christ built this world.
That might be your belief but, your belief isn’t fact. Why not call it BM (Before Mithras), BD (Before Dionysus), BA (Before Attis), BAT (Before Apollonius of Tyana), or BS (Before Samothrace)?

I'm sorry to inform you that just because you want to replace it with the before the Common Era does not mean you will destroy Christianity.
Your presumption is ridiculous.

I'm sorry to tell you but without Christianity the world would still be archaic.
Really? Does Galileo right a bell? What about the inquisition, the imprisonments, beatings, rapes, torture, executions, and ethnic cleansings done by Christians toward non-Christians, different Christian denominations, so-called heretics? I could go on forever.

This is a Christian period in history and will remain a Christian period throughout the rest of history; whether you heathens like it or not.
You are right if you don’t take into account other religions, 1st – 4th century before Christian really caught on. It’s not whether I like it or not, it’s all about history, not your narrow point of view of history.

I'm sorry to tell you, but Christianity will always have influence over the world, unlike new-age science or religion.
Yeah, just like every myth, Christianity is nothing special, in due time it will be dumped into books beside Greek Myths.

A Persian/Jewish/Greek myth in fact. Hear hear! :thumbsup:
You'll get flamed over this, you know. :cool:

Before Mithras. I like that one for sure!
