"CE"? Ahh, Christ Era, what a weird spelling though. Isn't it "AD" (Anno Domini) usually?
BCE is "before the common era", and CE is "common era".
I suppose it kind of grandfathers in BC and AD, but I always find it funny that it happens to centre the birth of Jesus anyway.
Im certainly not calling u one or saying your post does anything wrong. Just pointing out this is why the internet atheists gave the rest of us such a bad rap. Championing stuff that is thinly veiled anti-christian is a bad faith motive, divisive, confusing, and demeaning of tradition that didn't need changing. If the years were different numbers, different story.
I even said "AC" i.e. "After Christ" would've been an acceptable substitute and had the advantage of matching "Before Christ" which is in English. AD and BC is a mishmash of English and Latin that always struck me as weird.
The academic world settled on CE and BCE instead. I don't care. It's unimportant.
> Let's stop using Sunday thru Saturday cuz those relate to Norse religions
Does using any of those names imply that you believe Odin is the All-father?
