No CE means “Common Era”,

This is just another way to deny God.

Perhaps, but I have seen it referred to as "Current Era". When I see "CE" or "BCE", I figure the tone is Politically Correct and set my filters accordingly, though I suspect that many who use this "updated" method do so because of peer pressure from within the community.

I know what the abbreviations are supposed to mean, which is why I suggest fighting back. Referring to them as "Christian Era" and "Before Christian Era" negates the whole purpose of changing the abbreviations in the first place.

Liberals change the meanings of words all the time (look at how the word "marriage" is being corrupted). Fight back, on their terms.

I totally agree eDM. Even more ridiculous is the reference to Before Present as BP. That might work for very, very old dates, but anything that covers human history loses its reference point.

When they use CE, it means they already have given the topic a liberal slant! no need going any farther.
