I have had

lots of experience using C.E. and B.C.E. in the research work I used to do, and really, I'm not sure why there's such a flap.

Christians Outraged After BBC Bans Network Mentions of Christ-Centric Timestamps

Does anyone really believe that people were honouring God in some way when they used the B.C. or A.D. convention? Or that they've decided to dishonour God and Christ by changing its use? I guess they do. I didn't even think that it was used so much any more, other than in science and history. Anyway, I've come to expect almost anything from the hoi polloi, so I'm not surprised...
