Per the leftists ideology, BCE stands for "Before Common Era", thus denying Christ. See this article when the ultra-liberal BBC mandated that the mere mention of Christ be expunged from their reporting. There have been a number of Free Republic threads about the BC vs. BCE issue. FReeper stalwart and unabashed Patriot wardaddy said it best:

It’s total denial BS to rename something which means Before Christ just for secular sake when it doesn’t change the fact of how the epoch change is determined...Christ Birth.

I assure you that I am the most ardent of conservatives, and your link is bunk. BCE and CE are accurate terms. BC and AD are not, since the person to whom they refer was not born at year zero.

So tell me, what exactly happened at 1 AD that makes Anno Domini?

If you were truly interesting in honoring Jesus, you would not use a term that is has no bearing to Jesus’ birth. Regardless, since when would “Before Christ” be honoring? Nothing was before Him.

Per the leftists ideology, BCE stands for "Before Common Era", thus denying Christ.

Twenty years ago, I had a Theology professor in college blast me for using BC and AD on my papers. He told me to use BCE and CE, instead. So, I asked him what the "Common Era" referred to. He explained it referred to the eras that were commonly recognized as BC and AD. So I asked again, what did BC and AD stand for? Finally, he just left me alone. Iwrote BC and AD on my papers from there out, and he never marked them again.

I was prepared to uncoil his circular logic all day long.
