Happy New Year!

We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds-and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own. --Michael Crichton

I think you'll find that most people who celebrate this alleged "vicarious sacrificial death" do so at Easter.
The first of January is the feast of the Roman god Janus, from whom the month gets its name.
Where do you get your information from?

Not only that but if we're celebrating the 2008th anniversary of his death wouldn't we have to wait another 30-ish years?

Correction Acknowledged

I stand corrected. The term AD means anno domini or year of our Lord whereas BC means before Christ. Both reference the birth of Jesus though the exact date is questionable.
A common mistake is that AD refers to the death as I have done rather than the birth.
My point that the entire world has essentially been acknowledging Jesus by the usage of it is factual, the last country to enact it being Portugal about 600 years ago. Not only that but it denotes Jesus as lord. It has been used by most nations for over a millenium.
The messianic prophecies declare that messiah shall indeed become lord/master/ruler of all nations when he comes to earth to establish his kingdom at Jerusalem on the Temple Mount refered to as Zion. It's interesting that for all these centuries the nations of the world have been acknowledging this (i.e year of our lord) either advertently or inadvertently.

This is obviously untrue, isn't it, since the BC/AD numbering system is used as a convenience by people (such as myself) who "acknowledge" no such thing, just as I call the first month "January" without "acknowledging" Janus, and just as I refer to "Wednesday" without "acknowledging" Woden.

Re: Inadvertent Acknowledgement
This catagorizes you as one of inadvertent ones who for one reason or another do not connect the acknowledgement relative to the common and universal usage of the term AD, i.e. year of our lord over the centuries.
