Personally I love it. It’s a complete self-own by low-IQ academics.
“Common era”. Acknowledging that the Christian calendars are the correct, common, and generally accepted calendars. And that the evidence of Jesus Christ’s birth and death are so throughly documented and accepted world-wide that it is a common measure of time.

Oh right, the Common Era.
The Era that is common.

Or, because it's an easy way to remove some religiosity from something secular (like fucking timekeeping) without having to redo all of the numbering.
Seriously, it's the way it is because people are lazy, not because your particular flavor of sand people magic nonsense is secretly more correct than the competing sand people magic nonsense.

Im keeping to the point. You christ buggerers think the BC/AD to BCE/CE change is some religious fight, when it's just people naturally moving away from iron age barbarism but being too lazy to redo the entire calendar, so we just keep the reference points that books have been written around for two millenia but change the labels so we're not always talking about some sand fucker nonsense every time we give a date.

Ok, then follow your logic and change the entire week system too, since the 7 days of the week, and the last one being a day of rest, is purely based from the Bible as well.

No one but you people think of Sunday as a day of rest.
Also, notice the seven days are, strangely enough, named for ice barbarian mythological figures and not sand barbarian mythological figures. Following my logic, it's all bullshit based around what people are familiar with, and not some pledge of faith.

So you admit days and weeks are still based on religion, which is what you were criticising at first, so the point doesn't change one bit. Why not rename them as well? Why have 7 days in a week? You care about "Common Era", but you don't seem to care about anything else related to the calendar, I find that interesting.
It amuses me that you insist on missing the point so throughly as to end up orbiting mercury.
Because it was easier to keep things backwards compatible. That's why the names are unchanged, and the week length is unchanged. We could change them, but people are too lazy to put in the work.
Its not kept the same because your sand people myth is true and inviolable. I'm sure the goat fuckers would change it all out of petty religious retardation if they ever took power, for example, because they care enough to.

And this is why you christ buggerers lost institutional power.
Same as will happen to the goat fucker ragheads and the small hat money goblins.
Your entire comfortable life was built on secularism. You want your traditional life? Go join the amish, or move to Afghanistan and herd goats. See how long until you miss the "degeneracy" of having a calendar that isn't explicitly tied to some sand fucker myth.

BCE/CE was literally created by jews who hated using BC/AD dating and the Christian calendar but were too cowardly and subversive to just refuse to use it.
“Common era”. Acknowledging that the Christian calendars are the correct, common, and generally accepted calendars. And that the evidence of Jesus Christ’s birth and death are so throughly documented and accepted world-wide that it is a common measure of time.
Smooth move, atheists
I wouldn't close the video. I am always curious about what tactics and arguments our enemies are employing.
think strategically, not emotionally. it's time to stop losing, boys.
