I absolutely love it when the crazy Christians try to pull the “If it’s not in the Bible, it doesn’t exist!” thing because at that point most everything they use on an every day basis must all be fictional things that don’t exist.
Just saying that is unlikely to persuade any religious crazies. Especially since NDGT came out and said he uses BC/AD because the Gregorian calendar was worked out by a priest so he’ll give them that nomenclature point. It’s just an arbitrary scale anyway.
“We’ve taken over the governments of world powers and forced our Christ-centric numbering system to be standard, therefore we must have been right all along!”

Internet? Not in the Bible.
Smart phones? Nope.
Cars? Not a chance.
Facebook? Haell No.
TV? They wish.
Or they give you one of these “what year is?” “2024” “2024 what?” "AD: “and what does AD stand for?”
2024 CE

And what year did we start using that calendar system? Oh right, it was 525.
Wow is that really a thing? So dumb.
I’ve seen a handful of people in my life who believes this. Don’t know how common it is, though.
