Thanks for posting. Interesting.

One pet peeve:

“BCE”

They try so hard to deny Jesus, his impact on humanity, because he is the Truth.

Yet they still use his birth as the fulcrum around which the history of mankind has pivoted. Simply change the term from BC to BCE.

There’s no escaping it, yet they try and try and try.

Exactly! I love to ask people who prefer the BCE term to explain to me what marks the line between CE and BCE... It's fun.

Vain attempt. The BCE still alludes to the birth of Christ.
“Common era” refers to the calendar. Calendar points to birth of Christ.

When reading BCE, especially out loud, I use the words “Before Christ’s Era”.
