I have trouble with anyone who substitutes CE (Common Era) for AD (Anno Domini or Year of our Lord) and BCE (Before Common Era) for BC (Before Christ).

You have the right to be wrong.

The difficulty with the BC/AD notation is that even the Church knows it is innaccurate.

This difficulty does not arise if you use CE, wheter you consider it "Common Era" (the commonly recognised dating) or "Chirstian Era" (the dating established by the Christian Church.)
