What is "C.E."?

"Christian Era".
Actually, it's some bass-ackward convolution meant to remove Christ from the calendar. Christians are taking it back.

Frankly, I don't put much stock into anything that uses the phrases "BCE" and "CE".

I'm still confused. Is there a conversion factor to apply to put it into BC/AD terms that the world has been using for hundreds and hundreds of years? Does BCE=BC and CE=AD?

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
