Atheistic calendar

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Of course I do.  I find it very convenient.  For instance, if my calendar didn't have 'Ash Wednesday' marked on it, I'll probably go round we-wiping strangers' foreheads.

But seriously, what good do you think is going to come of your letter to European politicians?  Can you imagine them sitting round the conference table at the next G7 and saying, 'Let's put the world economy and global warning to the side for now and take up this calendar issue'?

Lamarck was at best an innovator, but not a very good one.  He got everything wrong about evolution, and didn't believe in chemistry.

quite possible discussion. The USSR switched to the Catholic calendar. Although, the Russian Orthodox. The atheistic calendar is more global than the catholic. Why do Japanese and Greeks use Catholicism? Great7 discussed Gorbachev in the USSR and human rights in China, freedom of speech. The calendar is a good question, modern, progressive.

It's a stupid question.  The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used one in the world, and the most successful in history.  It's accurate, convenient, and makes sense.  I don't see there being a lot of support for changing it simply because you've got a bug up your bum about it.

I do not agree. I believe that this is scientific and technological progress, the struggle for the rights of atheists, and against the obscurantism of the church

'Struggle for the rights of atheists'?  Seriously?  Please list the ways that the Gregorian calendar has infringed upon your rights.

Are you also going to change the names of the days of the week?  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday come from Norse mythology, Saturday from Roman myths.  What about the months?  Four of them are named for gods.

I want an atheistic calendar to be implemented. It is not implemented. This violates my atheist rights.

names should be secular.

Yeah, rights are not what you want.  I want Shweta Sekhon to rub my feet while whispering all the dirty things she's going to do to me.  The fact that this hasn't happened doesn't make it a violation of my rights.

Kurzgesagt has a human era calendar. It's basically just adding 10,000 to the current year.

The calendar isn't going to change because the majority of people don't want it to and it would be needless time and effort and money to fix something that's not really broken, just a little 'out of date'. Sha bump bump.

We must create an atheistic calendar. I think Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins do not want to live according to the Gregorian Catholic calendar. And I do not want to.

Why? 

The Chinese and Even Jews have their own calendar too. It still remains that scientifically the days are still cut into the same time periods of 24 hours a day and 365 days or 364 depending on leap year. Considering the planet is 4 billion years old, knowing you cant pin it down to an exact date, seems pointless. And how would you note a for 4 billion year old planet, or even a 13.8 billion year old universe on a check, or paperwork? 

Most of the world uses 2019 as our common year for communication and business purposes in any case. I get not liking the BS claims that Christians use it to note the "return" of Jesus. But secularists say common era instead of BC. 

I think the world has bigger fish to fry than to worry about a calendar.

If you want to piss off the Jesus fundies who insist on saying BC, remind them that the days of the week and months are all named after polytheists god/s.

Not all of them.

I wrote to European politicians to consider the issue at the g7 summit on the transition to an atheistic French calendar

Sorry, but humanity has so many other important issues to deal with, this seems to me completely unimportant.

Are you also complaining about the days of the week being named after Norse gods (Thursday = Thor's day, Friday = Freya, Wednesday = Wotan's day), or the months being named after Roman gods (January = Janus, March = Mars, May = Maia, June = Juno)?
