“802 C.E” I guess that is Common Era, which began WHEN With Christ! Why not write “AD” as the Libs MUST trace this to AD when asked. Could it be that common era is the 33 years when Christ lived?

Oh, by the same “BS” they use BCE instead of BC. Isn't that a waste of their beloved paper, to say noting of the extravagant use of ink. If we still wrote with quills, they'd sacrifice their beloved spotted owl to write the added unnecessary letter.

Simple.
BCE = Before Christ (or Christian) Era
CE = Christian Era

No problem.
