Note: BCE stands for “before the common era”. It is being used to replace the traditional BC which stands for “before Christ”.

IMO it’s another degradation of our culture by those who are trying to remove Christianity whenever and wherever possible. I fight against it by refusing to play along. Also, when I buy a book and read it with BCE, I take a marker and redact that extraneous “E”.

Not telling anyone else what to do, because I’m not a liberal. But I’m offering the information for anyone who might be interested.

When I see it, I translate it as “before the Christian era”

Same here. I refuse to use “BCE”.

Also, I use GMT, Greenwich Mean Time. I will not use UT or ZULU. They are trying to throw out GMT in order to diminish the contributions of Western Civilization, IMO.
