Hmm, the reason for BCE and CE doesnt rank in top 5. This is such a dopey list. It has to be tongue in cheek.

Pretty dumb to exclude any date related to christianity.

I don’t know which one I would pick. Probably 380 when christianity became the official state religion of Rome would be my choice.


Oddly enough, even though our calendar is based on the timing of Jesus' birth, I would argue 33 AD (traditional date of Jesus' crucifixion) and 325 AD (Nicaea) are probably more important dates for the impact that Christianity had on the world.

What changed?


I wonder why before common era and common era…..hmmm. What happened that changed?

Irony and not in a good way.

I mean, Issac newton? Magna Carta? Napoleon? Hapsburg? Split of the Carolingian Empire? And we aren’t even mentioning Jesus…

i think they’re more important to christianity for sure.

But becoming the official religion of Rome marks christianity really taking lead in europe.

At least the Neolithic Revolution got an honorable mention. That would be No 1 in my book, way above anything else.

Eh, Nicaea was really the turning point. It had imperial sponsorship wherein Christians were facing heavy and aggressive official persecution not thirty years prior. Unified and standardized what had become a fragmented faith with bitter infighting across the Mediterranean. Laid the foundation for the Constantian dynasty, of which every subsequent emperor (and Constantine himself, at the very end) was Christian with the exception of Julian. 380 was more of a de jure decision of what was already de facto, especially in the East.

Uhhh.. I see Historyfacts.com.. and NOT History.com.. Which I had originally associated with the History channel.

Since I never heard of this History Facts.com.. I have to wonder and evaluate how actually factual they are...

I’ll take the three years active ministry of Jesus over a pedophile prophet. I have no idea what historyfacts.com is? Never heard of it.,

I think it’s absolutely retarded to state things in CE or BCE and the dividing point is still the birth of Jesus.

I remember something similar but it may have Time magazine. I believe they had St. Paul 1, Muhammad 2, and Jesus 3.

So the new testament is fine, but not a new new testament?


Yes. The New Testament is based on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He was part of the Trinity, making Jesus God Himself.

The "new new testament" is based on a human. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Notice there is no mention of it being okay to sexually abuse them.

Thus, any "testament" that contradicts the message of a divine Jesus and allows the rape of children cannot be considered "fine."

You didn't answer why a near complete revision of an objective moral code is allowable once but not twice.

And you also, laughably, pointed out that Mohammed was a pedophile. So what? If God's objective moral code says thats okay who are you to disagree? Your own moral code says God can drown millions of children and thats perfectly righteous so you're not really in a position to cast stones.

Not according to the Jews or the Muslims.

Or drowning them like he did in Noah's flood.

I can think of a lot of things missing but anyone who uses BCE and CE is not a real academic and doesn’t deserve to be making lists about important events.

Using BCE and CE verses BC and AD just shows one’s ignorance of history.
