[Antoninus]

So you continue to honor the crucifiers

Latin was the language of Western intellectuals right up through the 19th century. Christianity conquered the culture of the crucifiers and made it their own. The "CE" "BCE" nonsense is an annotation used by atheistic communists. I'll never use it under any circumstances.

It is also used by we Jews. We will.continue to do so.

When the Christians took over the Roman Empire under the emperor Constantine I, one of the first things they did was to outlaw crucifixion, which was henceforth considered a sin.
