BCE instead of BC
You might have noticed this trend. It's prominent in academic journals, some history books, and notably in Wikipedia. The idea is to provide "a neutral way" to label historical dates by replacing Before Christ with Before Common Era. In turn, CE (Common Era) is the alternative to AD (Anno Domini, "in the year of the Lord"). The usual suspects are behind this, under the guise of diversity and inclusivity, to avoid referring to Jesus as Dominus (Lord).

>>32 Kikepedia articles about judaism, virtually all of them, use BCE/CE, including old testament stuff. Other than (them), reddit soyence faggots and their followers, useful retards, use those terms. And articles about hindoo stuff use them more often than sandmonkeys and others. I've seen some articles about ancient China, for example, use both BC/CE together -- this is truly a "neutral" way, like referring to °C as Celsius degrees or centigrade, interchangeably, since they're synonyms. But (they) hate his name and anything related to him, and incite changes, and useful retards follow naturally. It's become increasingly common since the beginning of the last decade. Naturally. I've seen for example in technical specifications from Hong Kong written in traditional Chinese and English the term "year of the Christian era" as a translation to 西元 before the year digits; (they) would never do this, because (they) hate him and anything related to him. The C in the acronym's meaning could be changed to "christian" and the meaning would remain exactly the same, but (they) can't stand his name or anything related to him. It's different from hindoos, sand monkeys and other uncultured swines' opinions, these rarely hate him, in the proper sense of this word. >>33 >maybe they will end up using ai to standarize Kill yourself, retarded nigger.
