I really hate political correctness.

This is just fascinating what they keep uncovering in the holy land.

[jwalburg]

This CE and BCE stuff is annoying.

The possibility that these sites may fall under exclusively muslim control makes me see red.

Muslims have not shown themselves to be competent stewards of historically valuable sites and artifacts.

Actually, they have shown themselves to be corrupt and incompetent at just about everything.
These historic sites and artifacts belong to the whole world.

They mess with Israel, they mess with me; and a billion others like me!

Me too.

10-9th centuries BCE.

...Supporters of the Common Era alternative say that it is unfair to force a religious system on those who do not share its values. Indeed, many of those using the current AD/BC system do not do so out of choice, but out of several centuries of the Western world’s political, cultural and often military domination. By replacing the words 'Anno Domini' - meaning 'Year of our Lord' - with the more neutral 'Common Era', it is argued that the calendar system becomes less offensive, and less culturally damaging. Of course, the Common Era method is by no means without its detractors. To many, it is the epitome of 'political correctness gone mad' or a pointless attack on a traditional, yet now meaningless to many, term.

BCE = BS

Good post, thanks.

Excellent!! Thank you!

I agree. Especially with this example. It's irritating.

If it isn't mohammedan, it has no value. I guess.

There they are, we lost them. I knew we left them somewhere- it was a heck of a party.
