Ok, B.C. stands for Before Christ and A.D. is Anno Domini, which is latin for year of the lord. So, if you didn't believe in Christianity, would you still follow that calender system? Like what about Buddhism? Do the Jews technically follow it, they don't necessarily believe Jesus was God's son or something like that right (I'm not personally well versed in Jewish religion, this is just from what I heard)...so, does that mean they don't follow B.C./A.D. years system? And for people that don't follow the system, does anybody know what system they run on or how to explain it? What year would you suppose someone who didn't follow our calander system would be on?
I'm already aware of the Chinese New Years, which obviously signifies that the Chinese have a different calander system. (Which also brings me to ask, how exactly does that work, does anyone know) I'm always up for partials, or even theories, this topic has just been puzzling me...
