The year of whose lord?

[KnockEmOuttt]

One way to keep it from pissing you off could be to just think of it as this, AD means after death. Seeing as Xtians are supposed to believe in a Zombie Jesus isn't it a bit moronic to still call it After Death when the fucker supposedly rose from the dead? But anyway, just remember it means after death and be thankful someone who has indirectly caused so much fucking trouble in our world is dead.

Except that "After Death" would be even more grossly incorrect, since the first 33ish years of the A.D. period are during the time Jesus supposedly lived.

I do disagree with B.C. and A.D. personally as a matter of principle, but I understand their usage as they've been engrained on society after however many years and I'm sure many people don't even know what they stand for anymore. That's neither hear nor there. Perhaps the biggest problem is the historical accuracy of titles, which is why I prefer (and think we should switch to) B.C.E. and C.E., not only because the only proof of Jesus' existence is biblical and religious in nature, but because B.C. and A.D. would still be inaccurate even if he did exist.
