Should Congress pass a law making BC/AD the official method of dating time?
The Kentucky Board of Education has voted to take the first step in redefining how America dates time. The board voted to include a new secular system of dating the calendar, BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era), and added it to the BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") method.

The new secular system of time dating will appear in the curriculum and other materials used by Kentucky educators. This new system is already being included in textbooks across the nation.

The new method will replace the birth of Christ as the dividing point in history. For example, the new system would change 2006 AD (Anno Domini) to 2006 CE (Common Era).

It also opens the door for the ACLU to find a liberal activist judge who will forcefully remove the use of BC and AD. The ACLU types will claim that the use of BC and AD are a violation of the First Amendment because it dates history based on the birth of Christ.

Results will be shared with members of Congress. [Bible]

Wouldn't replacing AD/BC with CE/BCE uphold the Constitutional First Amendment? Considering many institutions are using it now because of its secular value (how does using AD/BC help relations with every other religion?), it seems to be on its way in any case.

I actually think BCE/CE is stupid, because they're still using Jesus' birth as a reference point, just changing the labels.

But they DON'T even have the year of Messiah's birth correct ANYWAYS.

Why get riled up that lost people don't want to reconize and honor Yahweh, they are lost, they can't help it.

Will it change ONE LITTLE BIT of your faith or life?

It is not the problem you make it out to be:
Rather it is a SYMPTOM of a deeper problem, denying Yahweh.

Fighting symptoms DOESN'T make the problem any better.

The enemy uses fasle battles like this to distrct and sidetrack Yahweh's children from fighting the REAL ETERNAL battles.
