BCE means Before Common Era -- and that has been explained amply over the years in every topic where it has appeared, so quit pretending you didn't know and quit trolling this topic.

BCE is meaningless Political Correctness

If you have a problem with dating from the time of Christ, date from another historical milestone, like the enthronement of Charlemagne 800 years after Christ’s birth.

But if you’re using the timeline that starts from the time of Christ - and you are - then you’re just LYING by denying that’s what you’re doing

There is no event held to be common, so stop being obtuse and attempting to get people who don’t accept one that there is anyway.

The attempt to do so has been pushed for many years, it never has garnered widespread support outside of academia even with teaching it in schools.

That technique hasn’t fared any better than the exact same technique has in implementation of the Global Warming scam and its just as stupid applied to both topics.

You may find yourself employing the term professionally but don’t lash out at other people who have never bought into it.

Quit trolling people trying to bash them into capitulating to far left redefinition of language.

You are correct SunkenCiv. I did know what BCE stands for. It is a designation of the year based on the birth of the baby Jesus. It is very popular among people who despise Christianity. My beef is with Wednesday. It is named after a pagan god. While we are at it let’s change everything in this sinking civilization.
