Socrates

Socrates. What do I know about Socrates? Precious little I am ashamed to say. Yes I know that he was an ancient Greek philosopher credited with laying the foundation of Western philosophy. I think he lived between 469 and 339 B.C.

Now being a little bit of a philosopher myself lets discuss the term B.C. which stands for Before Christ. This makes sense to me as Jesus Christ has had the biggest impact on mankind since the beginning of time or creation. I will come back to creation at a later date. Though many do not like to admit it the largest body of people on planet earth today call or refer to themselves as Christians. No other religion comes close in numbers to the world-wide population of Christians.

My discussion point is what the heck does the term B.C.E. stand for? I have heard the wimpy history channel introduce this politically correct term for a minority of I assume idiots but what does it mean. I know that it is an acronym for before common era (bce) but no one I know of can explain, describe or tell me what the common era is. Everyone can tell me that B.C. means Before Christ and everyone can explain it.

Now in ancient Greece we had Socrates followed by Plato (somewhere between 427 and 347 B.C.) followed by Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) It is generally thought that each was a teacher to the next in line. Everyone of course knows Aristotle was the teacher to Alexander the Great. He even gets a bit part in all of the Hollywood movies. Your not so friendly history channel is being used by atheists to teach the next generation to forget the term Before Christ. Hollywood strikes again. I wonder when they get to taking even bit parts away from Jesus?

Now as an amateur philosopher I have to hold up the tradition of these three wise men, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. So I will explain to you what the term common era means. It means taking Jesus Christ out of history. You see the term common era is also referred to as the current era or Christian Era. In other words these morons use the Gregorian calendar as year 1. Why? Well first of all the entire world uses this Christian calendar and second they have no other significant point in history to select from. They are on course to what they consider a subtle means to train the next generation of children into being atheists. Similarly the term C.E. or as I prefer ce replaces Anno Domini or A.D with the term common era. For those too young to have been taught, Anno Domini means the year of our Lord as in Lord Jesus Christ.

Though their numbering system remains the same bce/ce replaces B.C./A.D. which means replacing any reference to Jesus Christ. These pagans even have the affront to say that Christians should use these new acronyms to be sensitive to non-Christians and that it is politically correct to do so. They point out that it has been adopted by many non-Christians in other words a small minority of the worlds population. Why would they wish this? Could it simply be that these politically correct people hate both Christians and the Christian doctrine?

Why do they hate Jesus and His followers? Simple really they hate His teachings because they are contained in the most published book in history namely the bible. Now why would anyone hate the bible to such a degree that they try to take it out of schools, universities and the courts? You tell me but could it have to do with promiscuity and lifestyle? Could it be to do with morale judgement and acceptable ethics? Could it be the elimination of a higher code of conduct? Could it be that the bible stands between them and their final objective and if so what is that final objective?

The bible itself is split into two sections called the Old and New Testaments which really mean B.C and A.D. I hope that you see the connection here folks. By attacking your historical calendar they are in effect attacking the bible as well as placing a slur on our Lord Jesus Christ. Is this intentional? You bet your life it is. Now talking of life. Why is it wrong to teach children that thou shalt not kill? Why is it wrong to teach children thou shalt not steal? Oops I am headed towards the ten commandments.

OK back to Socrates. No one tries to edit or eliminate his teachings or remove his writing or philosophy from universities so why the big barrier at the door for Jesus Christ? Why the change from BC/AD? What are they up to? What are they trying to achieve? Simple. They think that by eliminating all reference to Jesus Christ they remove any need for the bible and just as in antiquity they used to chisel names, dates and events from off of monuments and memorials and burn and destroy books to distort history they are trying to do the same. Again I ask why?

This may floor you but the words are simple, profound and true. Jesus said when you pray say this . . . Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done; On earth as it is in heaven. Lots of people miss this point but not the atheists. God wishes for His kingdom to come to earth. Now ask yourself who is misleading these fools and encouraging them in their efforts, could it be the architect of misinformation more commonly called the father of lies?
