I find it impossible to read anything that uses “BCE.” It is an immediate giveaway that there is some defective thinking going on.

I, on the other hand, interpret BCE as Before Christian Era, in which form it makes perfect sense.

BC, on the other hand, means Before Christ. When exactly was that? If Christ is God, and God is eternal, then there cannot be a time before Christ.

Me, too.

Just to annoy these so-called "historian-experts," I play dumb and ask 'em what does "BCE" stand for?

"Before the Common Era."

"Oh? Common to what? Oh...I notice the zero point for your measurement JUST HAPPENS to correspond to Christ's birth...do you mind if I call it 'Before the Christian Era'?"

Then sit back, relax, watch the apopleptic fit set in. ;)
