That being said, I have no ****s to give about this "issue". I do not care one bit about this.

Good for you. So why bother responding? Nothing better to do wth your time.
Is responding to things you do not care about where your priorities lie?

I believe you are correct. I view the way we count our days as the number one problem facing the world today.

Would that be the binary number one or the old fashioned decimal way of counting?

Anyone with an unbiased view would not dare to make that statement as most historians, theist or non, state categorically that Christianity has had the greatet impact of any religion, philosophy or political idea.

Our entire education system is based on the Christian model; orphanages came into being as a result of the faith and the cross is the single most identifiable icon in the known universe.

Further, you call it superstition but abandon your democratic ideals in demanding it be "replaced".

Obviously you have issues with Christians which appear to me to have nothing to do with the Christian faith...**** you don't even know what it is.

That's why it has been around for over two thousand years. Not a reason for it to continue though.
Nor have i demanded anything. I have put up a proposal for speculation only.
Really? Suggesting that jesus is a myth and the current calander is based on an imaginary being has nothing to do with christian faith??? You do know who jesus is don't you?

No..

But you haven't done your homework.

You don't even know the very core of the Christian doctrine, nor how is has affected and continues to affect every aspect of human existence.

And YOU are calling for its end...which is the most preposterous supposition ever raised...as if you could have any influence on a philosophy that has been around for over 2,000 years....and

without enough experience and knowledge to offer an alternative. Just hate of religion.

Good bye now, do some homework and when you can properly identify with a single word the core essence of the Christian faith maybe I will listen.

Right! The whole of christianities existence is entirely dependent on whether the calender remains. And you think you understand christianity.

Now that's intelligent


Again, when you can properly identify the base of ethos of the Christian religion I will give heed to what you say. Until then your insults are a waste of bandwidth.

Let's not forget your money either. How primitive that you still print doller bills on paper. American complain about taxes and then insist their tax money be spent on printing outdated doller bills.

So basically your of the mind that unless the world revolves around an opinion its not worth having. Is that your opinion?

That's clearly your stance, as you wish it to revolve around your opinion

You forgot to add i that i have stepped on your fragile ego as well. Should i have emojied a box of tissues so you can have a good cry?

Do you even have a clue that much of the world changed their currency form pounds to dollers as well as changing their weights from ounces to grams without any so called earth shacking event. Went quite smoothly without any bother really.

Perhaps this post is suggesting a lack of education should also be listed as an american fault.

Interesting....you went from Calendars, to metrics, to the form of our currency in your rant against the US....is there something you really want to get off your chest?

This whole screed has a familiar flavor......things that in no way impact you, but you are carrying on like a child denied a treat....do you need to talk?

Proposing a change in calanders is not unique or an impossible idea. Western civilisation has gone frome hellenic to roman to julian to gregorian.
We have had the calander we now use in effect to measure over two thousand years now. Given a starting point to a religion that no longer controls the thinking of modern man. That of the birth of christ and is called anno domini meaning in the year of our lord.

However this is archaic and based on a superstition and i argue that it is about time it was replaced with somethin contemporary and more fitting to what now has a greater influence. And what could be more fitting that america itself.

So i propose that instead of this being the year 2018 anno domini instead the calander once again should be changed and this should instead be the year 241 anno americae.

Every country should have its own calendar...

I worry so little about it that I generally don't even know the date... I know it is 2017 and most of the time the month... but almost never the day.

But it is broke. The religion is an insignificant superstition. Why keep it?

Do you really neeed to reach the stage of something becoming a worry before doing anything. Here is a suggestion, if you're thinking of having children, plan ahead, things might work out better than if you wait till you have to worry about it.

You just said it was broke so that means, since the whole world uses that calendar... that it is already a worry.

Time stopped in Brazil and is moving back wards around the Poles... the calendar being broken also seemed to suspend gravity on my street. This is alarming. Your suggestion that we switch to an American Calendar system might save us all...

Wait until we change the calendar and our weekdays become yellow, Taco Bell, crankshaft, snips, snails, Calvin and finally Hobbes.

Because the year numbering system works fine. The days of the week are named after Greek and Roman gods and even Christians seem fine with that.
