True Christians love the Jewish nation (me included. I love to study the Old Testament to see God's love of the Jewish people. Mostly I love to see how God was pointing to Jesus from the beginning of time).

But Jesus Christ walked this earth and turned many millennium of backward thinking (hatred, exclusionism, bias, lying, lack of forgiveness) on it's head. The fruits of true Christianity is visible everywhere (don't confuse them with the actions of evil people that have sought to use it as a smoke screen). Therefore it makes sense to diliniate that turning point in human history.

So BC/AD isn't factually wrong. I think you should use double numbers. You fixate on the total history of Judaism and I'll focus on the best thing that will ever happen to this world. (I am sorry that you allow your view of the importance of your history and culture to block your understanding that Jesus was the reason for the wonderful and long Jewish history).

So true. Islam is an amalgamation of Judaism, Christianity and tribal stuff. But you sadly miss the differences. Whereas Christianity happily points to the foundation of the Old Testament and believes that it pointed to Christ, Islam happily says that everyone before them were stupid and should die. True Christians love the Jewish Nation whereas Islam wants to destroy it.

So why do you lump Christian into the same pot as muslims?

BTW, you should study the attributes of God a bit more. Christians and Jews worship the same God. Islam's God does not exhibit the same attributes.
