ummm... I'm just a car guy (intrinsically, and through n through) and am not familiar with BCE, I've never heard of CE, and I don't know what that has to do with a reference to haters, or even get the inference to haters of what. Did you notice the 1802 GF? I don't know what the hell GF is either, relative to years, eras, or millennia I've only been familiar with BC, and AD. So... I had to try and learn what you're referring to, and I see that BCE and CE are some new PC bs about being an alternative to BC and Anno Domini. No, I don't know what Anno Domini means in English, just that its the years on the positive side of the time line where the zero is the British version of the calendar ( in contrast to the Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Chinese, Julian, and Persian calendars) and the years before that are negative, like the number line in high school math with positive and negative numbers, or the degrees of timing, before and after TDC. As for marginalizing Christians, if the suffix of a year can accomplish that, the Romans would have done it and saved fortunes by not buying lions to eat the excess Christians with, and the Moors would've won the crusades without all the bloodshed! So, nah, I can't see how any one got "marginalized", or how any idiot would think that getting PC on the gregorian calendar would knock the chip of the shoulder off Christians, and come up with something as weak as BCE to give it their best shot
I don't know about the BC in greggBC's user name, but for dates, BC stands for "Before Christ" and AD is for "Anno Domini" or year of our lord. The use of BC and AD could be offensive to people who aren't Christians, which is probably several billion people. CE and BCE stand for Common Era and Before Common Era, which refer to the same time periods, without reference to Christ or God. According to Wikipedia, the term Common Era has been used as far back as the 1700s.
The entry for 1802 is supposed to say that G.F. Bauer registered a patent for the wire tension spokes. The GF was printed in bold so it looks like part of the date.
The use of ce and bce is offensive to us non haters. It came from a Rabbi and is meant to marginalize Christians. ce and bce are hate based.
