Before the "Common Era". Note that A.D. has become C.E. in the new politically correct nomenklature. Yech!

What's "B.C.E."?

Please don't tell me it's some new politically correct version of B.C.

BCE (Before the Common Era) has been around for awhile. In this case, it's being used by an Israeli press group. They probably don't believe in Christ, so the use of BCE is for convenience more than PC.

May the Lord of creation, and all that is holy, have mercy on you, and heal you in your time of need.

His will be done. Amen.

Thank you...

[HuronMan]

What happened in the Year 0 BCE or 0 CE? Why do they make the calendar start at this date under this system?

[Textide]

It's before "what other people believe is the Christ but which we do not and we only included it so that our dating system wouldn't confuse you". That OK?

[Dustbunny]

I hate B.C.E...... it is B.C.
