Jesus was 100% Jewish circa year zero. Observed Torah, went to and taught at synagogues, celebrated Hannukkah, ate a kosher diet, etc. But Christians don’t follow Jesus’s own religious practices.

    Neither do nations or borders. Yet I still have to pay taxes and show my passport at the airport.

    At some point, something just exists.

      Sure, if you want it look at it that way. But if years exist than so does the year 0.

        If you want to look at it that way, then year 0 is when earth started orbiting the sun.

        But that’s a bit silly. Afterall, we don’t usw Kelvin inszead of Celsius despite Celsius being “made up” and Kelvin measuring the actual null point.

          Or, just like with temperature scales, you can just make up a new one and put zero anywhere you want.
