When is CE? Is it the CE for Moslems, Chinese, Hebrews? Or is is A.D. so that we have a time reference point? Or is this a Religios bias or bigotry on the part of the writer?
Yes.
CE is short for "Christian Era" and BCE is short for "Before Christian Era". Imagine for a moment that you're someone who is bothered by AD and BC, but not by BCE and CE... no, I can't imagine that either. :')
As someone around here pointed out recently, either way the starting point is Christ, so I fail to see who's getting fooled. :') I will use AD and BC for the duration. (':
