Stop with the BCE stuff already. It’s “BC”.

I simply pasted what was on the page. I've noticed that in the religious and political spheres, people tend to become rattled over something, anything. When a source is guilty of some kind of "wrongthink", the offended have a reason to read no further.

Uh, no.

The issue is that BC means “Before Christ” while BCE means “Before the Common Era”.

In other words, using BCE erases Christ from talked-about history. I’m not gonna do that.
