Look we get it you want to be inclusive and not have dates be tied to Christianity but here's the thing, you're still using the birth of Christ as your year zero, so who are we really kidding with this?

No.

Who are you interacting with on a regular basis that would have a reason to use either "BC" or "BCE" anyway?

It's culturally appropriate for us non-believers to use BCE.

When the ever so wise set started pronouncing Neanderthal with a "T" as opposed to a "Th" sound, I admit to thinking someone needed a beating.

What? No he wasn't. That's not how it works.

Most scholars believe Jesus was born 6-4BC. LINK

CE and BCE are politically correct terms meant to appease non-Christians. Maybe non-Christians should have invented a dating system.

Civilization, during the time of Jesus, thought his existence was so important that they started time over. To me, an unusually significant event would have to take place in order to reset time.

I don’t like the Romans so I’m sticking to the 10 month calendar. It’s working great so far. I’m ahead of everyone.
