Amen... ummm right on, SRS!


"Christ", as I understand it, who or whatever he was, was not named Christ. He was just called Jesus. There might well have been someone of that name who got famous thru preaching....and various circumstances led to a dating system named for what people THOUGHT he was.

Now that various opinions about what we ought to do about religion and thinking about religion are supposedly protected, it IS about time to s-l-o-w-l-y take the religious implications out of that dating system....especially since it is widely agreed that that Jesus fellow wasn't actually born in the year 'zero', anyhow.

   I still write 2011 on what few checks I write, and I don't expect that to be changed, but BCE does need to be clarified as a public designation, no matter what folks say in their personal church groups.

I do NOT like the idea that ANY nation should make a specific religious belief a political requirement, and though some will no doubt continue that way for awhile, I do not want the US of A to go any further that way!
