Not anymore its CE (common era) and BCE (Before common era).

Typical liberal insanity.....

What defines the start of the "Common Era"? Uhhhhhhh......Christ's birth?

>>>What defines the start of the "Common Era"? Uhhhhhhh......Christ's birth?


The common era defines Jesus' birth. Whether or not he is the Christ/Messiah/Annointed One is not accepted by all, so CE makes more sense than BC. For Jews, we are still BC because Christ has not yet come.
Scholarly pursuit is an international endeavor and not all of those involved in it are Christian. For example, should the Jewish archaeologist working with Israeli andtiquities have to use a dating system that forces him to acknowledge Jesus as the Christ?
