Just A Quickie

I'm watching some show about Jerico back around 1200 B.C. - only they're saying B.C.E.

B.C.E.? C.E.? Common Era?

Just what is this so-called Common Era based upon? Oh, yeah - the Birth of Christ. Changing the Politically Incorrect Before Christ and Anno Domini really makes a big difference, doesn't it? Makes the Jews, Muslims, Hindus and all the rest really happy, don't it? Like they don't know the basis for it in the first place?

F'kin hypocrites.
