From the article: ...between the ninth and the fifth centuries BCE...

Stopped right there. There's no such thing as BCE.

...and since they were discussing jewish prophesy, perhaps they should just use the hebrew calendar.

More and more, we see BCE and CE instead of BC and AD.

Why is this? Does it offend the sensibilities of liberals that much, to acknowledge that the years on our calendar date from the time of Christ?

But if they are that offended, why don’t they count years from some other event,

You should make sure to never read anything from anyone that doesn’t agree with you perfectly.
It may cause you to learn something from considering their arguments, and that is just too risky.
I always chuckle at CE and BCE because it affirms the very thing they are trying to deny.
If you don’t understand your opponent’s argument, you don’t completely understand your own.

Grow up.
31% of the world is “Christian”
You don’t get to decide how time is calculated for the rest of us based upon your beliefs about a Jewish Prophet.
