As a Jew I was never comfortable with BC (Before Christ) or AD (Anno Domini). These are both references to a messiah in which most of the world does not believe. Switching to BCE and CE makes much more sense for all of us. Maybe the progressive left is occasionally correct? Like a broken watch?

Don't worry about BC or AD, we'll be on the Chinese calendar soon. If that doesn't happen, maybe the Western (formerly for a good part) Christian world should abandon its calendar due to popular disapproval?
On the one hand I want to say "live with it" but that might be construed as bigoted and catty of me.😘 On the other? In fairness, The West's calendar should have stayed with the date of the (mythical) foundation of Rome, thus properly speaking this is the year 2777; especially since they didn't even get the year of Christ's birth right (±4 BC).
"Maybe the progressive left is occasionally correct?" After 8 years in and of the Woke Democratic Socialist Non-White People's Republic of Canuckistan of our Dear Leader Justine Castreau (Praise and Blessings be upon her name) and her Merry Men? Not a chance in Hell, Alison!
Alison , whether you believe that Jesus Christ is your messiah, he is an actual historical figure. ( as well as the messiah to many) I believe the change is more about erasing Jesus Christ from history books than any thing else.

In a word? "No"
Watch this vignette from Asha Logos, see if you're not weeping uncontrollably by the end for what has already been lost if not wilfully thrown away.

As a former violinist/violist married to a tympanist/percussionist, I salute you. Great video and who cares what year it is?
In deference to my Chinese ex-wife whom I've not seen in nearly 20 years, it's The Year of the Dragon... 🙄
