I use BCE and CE in my history papers.

I am certainly no liberal and hate political correctness. But, it is likely that Jesus was not born exactly in the year AD 1 that we have anyway, so it seems to me to not really be getting rid of God, but just being historically accurate.

However, I do use AD and BC in other discourse since I like saying before Christ and in the year of our lord and shoving it in people's faces.

See post #46.

Can you tell me what year it is?

BC-AD was used since it was considered a big dividing point in history due to a big defining event. What defining event took place to distinguish the transition from BCE to CE?

What does 2005 AD translate to in CE?

It doesn't matter, the entire world reckons time by His birth.
