I liked the BC (before Christ) much better than BCE, (before Christ's Era).I think the secular progressives started using "BCE" to replace "BC" a number of years ago, with the acronym meaning "Before Common Era."

I did say I knew.
I just refuse.
meaningless gesture I know, but I do have a bit of Liberal vanity in me, and I say it just to feel better about myself.

The common dating method for Jews is ‘since creation’ - the BCE used here is for a common dating system, since historians know that Jesus was not born in year 1.

I think the secular progressives started using "BCE" to replace "BC" a number of years ago, with the acronym meaning "Before Common Era." I had to deal with it from a "Religion" professor in college back in the mid-1990s. I did ask the question "and what is it, exactly, that before common era, and common era (the new term for AD) centered on?" He didn't much care for that.

I think the secular progressives started using "BCE" to replace "BC" a number of years ago, with the acronym meaning "Before Common Era." I have one simple question for folks who insist on the silly "BCE" nomenclature: "What is the defining event that divides the two eras?"
