The Jews intentionally left out over 200 years from their calendar.
I can't prove it, but when the time prophesied for the Messiah passed and they, having rejected the real one, needed to fudge the calendar by omitting years BC. The omission was intentional. I cannot prove the motivation.
Emphasis mine. It's all I needed to hear.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
