Are you being disenginuous, again?

The "must be" sentiment is in the letter to which you replied "what's wrong with might be?"

The BC/BCE thing is really about being politically correct, which I think has gotten out of hand. If we refer to a Muslim event, should we refer to Muslim calendar notations? If we refer to a Chinese event, should we refer to the Chinese calendar notations?

I vigorously support freedom of regligion and strong separation of church and state, but "BC" is the traditional American way of dating events when we talk about history in our country. Where does it stop, if we try to accommodate every ethnic group which makes up our country?

Since you have trouble quoting, I'll do it for you:

What's wrong with that? They taught us in college the same thing.. That before current era might be used instead of before christ..

And since you have trouble comprehending I'll explain it to you to. I expressed my lack of surprise at your post, because the CE/BCE business is not specific to Jews or whatever - it was even taught to me in college ( I went to a state univ of NY @ Albany) by a non Jew in a non religious class. That if we come across CE/BCE, it means this n that. I am not sure why you are trying to make more of it then it is... Misquoting me and etc, and I am sure it would be a lot of fun to speculate as to why... But I guess I am not a fun loving guy, like you are. I'll leave all the speculating to you and your friends.

I think this is an isolated incident. Let us hope we are not headed back to what happened to Christians in the Ukraine in early 1930's.
