GGG Ping.
Ah yes, the rich Palestinian history........./s
I agree, since they are still talking about the birth of Christ, they are clearly changing it so as to be a clear and knowing insult to Christianity.
I can think of no reasonable reason to change the wording, without changing anything else, just so they can eliminate the word Christ.

Biblical scholars agree that Christ wasn’t born and didn’t die in 1 AD, so that’s the “official” reason for the whole BCE/CE thing.
But, we all know that the real reason is anti-Christianity. If they could, they’d switch us over to the muslim calendar (if there is such a thing—and I don’t care enough to Google it).
I asked a BCE/CE advocate what happened in 1 CE to force the change in calendars. Like most liberals, he didn’t know why he supports something. He just knows that the talking head on the TV box told him to!
INDEED.
Clueless idiots.
Will be so overjoyed beyond measure
WHEN THE KING RETURNS . . .
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WAYS OF THE LORD.
LONG LIVE THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, JESUS THE CHRIST, CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS, WAS AND WILL BE.
But the rag-head so-called “Palestinians” were there first. Got it.
“BCE and CE garbage”
Yep. But I’m surprised and pleased to report that my daughter’s history book (6th grade, public school) still uses A.D. I think it may be because the professor who wrote it has a special interest in religious history of the Reformation Period. It also contains an ok description of the Christian religion and the early Church, although from a non-believer’s point of view.
Reading CE / BCE hurts my eyes. Even before I was a Christian — actually even as a kid, I knew it wasn’t right.
newslash everybody — the C.E. and B.C.E. was first implemented by Jews.
So what? And what’s a “newslash” ;)
How long will it take the ROP to claim it as a holy site because Mohammed took a dump there centuries later?
sorry for the typo — I meant to write NEWSFLASH.
THe so-what is that this use of C.E. and B.C.E. hat posters were complaining has eradicated B.C. and A.D. comes from Jewish scholarship.
CE= Christian Era
BCE= Before CE

Since they are talking about a synagogue from the early Roman period, why not use Roman dates? "A.U.C. 700 to 900" (counting from the founding of Rome in 753 B.C.). Or use Olympiads and get everyone totally confused.
>>but since the Muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a solar year, it wouldn’t be very practical to use.
You defame Isssslahm! I keel you! Durka durka JIHAD durka.
>>newslash everybody the C.E. and B.C.E. was first implemented by Jews.
No surprise there.
