BCE? I really can’t hear violins play when historians try to wipe out Jesus, Himself by reducing our Creator via re-writing history from “Before Christ” to mere creation by calling it a “Christian Era”.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's worse than that; "BCE" means "before the common era."

Just ask 'em innocently when the common era started.

Yeah, it’s BCE and ACE now for “Before the Common Era” and “After the Common Era”.

Which I find completely hilarious, because - aside from the birth of Christ and thusly the beginings of Christianity - I fail to find what’s so common about the “Common Era” that differed from 1 BCE, 0, and 1 ACE.

*will stick with BC and AC, thank you very much*
