“BCE” and “CE” are just plain stupid.

No, it’s worse than stupid. It’s a calculated, insidious attempt to de-Christianize our civilization, by denying that our civilization uses a calendar that dates years from when (it was originally thought) that Christ was born. We’re in the year 2015 by the Christian calendar, i.e. 2015 years since Jesus originally was thought to be born. In contrast, in the Chinese calendar it’s the year 4,045 (or round abouts), because they don’t start with Jesus. The Muslims have a different year-counting method too. the West counts from the time of Jesus — but the PC crowd want to deny that by substituting CE and BCE (but still use the Christian calendar counting of 2015)
