You mean they can actually find a publisher who uses BC and AD?

This stupid "Common Era" really annoys me...just one more way to wash any reference to Christianity from our history. What does the "Common" even refer to? It hardly makes sense.
To: xzins
Gee, I thought it was:
CE - Christ Extant
BCE - Before Christ Extant
To: xzins
Good for the school board.
If I am watching a show on the History Channel or Discovery Channel, and they start with that BCE crap, I immediately change the channel.
As a history major, such revisionist bilge repulses me.

This ignorant hillbilly preacher doesn't even know that "common era" was used by early Christians.

I thought that it was "Christian era" and "before Christian era".

BCE - Before Christian Era

But then again ... what common era would they be talking about anyway??? the common era before Jesus and then the common era after Jesus ... just another way of saying BC and AD ....

To: SkyDancer
Interestingly, they used the same dates.
1776 was still the year of the Dec of Independence.
Therefore....why change?

To: Lunatic Fringe
"common era" was used by early Christians.
Was it? And even if it was, so what? AD/BC have worked just fine for quite some time now. There is no need to change it.
To: bvw
"Gregorian" refers to Pope Gregory XIII (1572-85), a certainly Christian official.
