False. Romance language countries did not use Norse or Germanic names for the days of the week.
“CE- “Common Era” is the term Jews use to reference the Gregorian. It does not have a “PC” -politically correct meaning for us. Jews do not believe in Jesus as a deity.”
You use the CE/BCE usage for EXACTLY the same reason the PC crowd does.

Actually, no. It is done because Judaism forbids the acceptance, or the belief in other deities. Nor, are we to worship any representation/image of G-D, as that would be idolatry. “Thou shalt not make any graven image.” If you worship at a statue of Jesus, then you are worshipping at an idol. That is an abomination before HaShem’s eyes. Remember the 10 Commandments? To use “B.C.” would be participating in those beliefs.
Jews were commanded by HaShem to be separate, and not accept the ways of the pagans and other nations. “Be ye separate.” And, that is why Jews do not use it.

Pray tell what “the reason” is. What are you insinuating?
