If we use the birth of Christ as a measurement, maybe we should
say BTSOB (Before The Star Of Bethlehem) and ATSOB (After The Star
Of Bethlehem).  Or, why not, if God is dead, B0 (Before Zero) and
A0 (after zero).  

Better yet, since Jesus Christ never wrote anything, let's have
BM (Before Matthew) and AM (After Matthew).
