Actually, I believe BCE means Before Common Era

Yes - but the revisionists get so mad when you call it "Before Christian Era." Makes it kinda fun.

You have it backwards — the revisionists are the ones who call it “Before Christian Era.”

Well, no, the revisionists call it "Before Common Era," when it really is "Before Christ."

BC is also used in the article, as the “hates God” troll pointed out.
