So do you use BC\ AD or BCE\CE ?
BC- Before Christ
AD- Annus Domini (Latin for year of the Lord.)
BCE- Before Common Era
CE-Common Era
I use BC\AD because i have always done it and see no reason to change it.
It should be mentioned that i am not a christian\religious.

Many Non-Christians managed to get their knickers in a knot because they did not believe in the Christ. Therefore, the silly Before the Common Era and the Common Era.
As a dating system, it corresponds to the BC/AD exactly and begs the question; common to whom?

It reminds me of the mostly failed efforts by clergymen to change the days of the week names from pagan deities, where it was only successful in Portugal (English Thursday, German Donnerstag, Spanish Jueves, French Jeudi, Italian Giovedi, but Portuguese Quinta-feira). |

Not just because I am a Christian, but because it is what I grew up with. It's easier to remember. Plus, why change something just to be defiant? Who cares how it came about, it did, it's got a name, suck it up.

I usually use "v.Z." and "n.Z." When writing in English I use BCE and CE.

And besides, what is the "common" era? What's common about it? Huh. I always assumed it was a modern invention but reading about it, it dated back many centuries and is more widely used than BC/AD. Live and learn. Still don't like it, though. |

I use BC and AD (though technically the dates are probably off 3 or 4 years).

I don't see a point.
The Christians don't seem to mind the days of the week named after Norse gods, so why should we care if we use BC/AD?

Hey my sweet heart is a Viking. I do not care about the week days.

BCE
One uses what one sees more often. I read history more often than not on wikipedia (and have been doing that for last 12 years or so). Wikipedia uses BCE and I am now used to it.

Pet peeve.
AD stands for anno domini, not annus domini
And AD should be placed before the year: AD 2018
not 2018 AD

The usage of BCE and CE has nothing to do with religion.
It is used 100% of the time for age discrimination by control freaks whose only motivation is the Satanic influence of confusion. There is no sane denial of that. It is pure hatred, and definite proof of the existence of real demons or devils in the supernatural world that penetrate our natural world.
Denying this would be retarded. It's just one of the many "age discrimination" realities that are proven to be used totally out of a desire to cause division, confusion, and hate.

The last time I used EBCDIC was in the 70's. |

When I was growing up, I came to learn that most people I knew talked about the past using BC/AD, and so that Is what I usually use...
However...
I always knew that BC meant "Before Christ", but I didn't know AD meant "Annus Domini (Latin for year of the Lord.)". Somehow I always thought it meant "After Death", which wouldn't be completely accurate, since he lived for several years after he was born.
BCE/CE makes more sense, but I find the terms are too similar, and It can confuse me, especially since I am used to using BC/AD...
I will probably keep using using BC/AD... but now that I see BCE/CE is being used more and more, I am getting used to it...

"Non-Christians" will just have to live with the fact, that this year is still 2018... They can call it "CE" all they want... But, it will still always be based on the belief that Jesus Christ existed... And no one is going to come up with a whole new Politically Correct calendar system for the planet, so they can live in bliss, thinking otherwise. "2019" is only half a year away! ROTFWL! Many Non-Christians managed to get their knickers in a knot because they did not believe in the Christ. And yet they still celebrate "Christmas"... A holiday that was created so that people could celebrate the "Birth Of Christ"... except, now they just get the day off from work, and expect to get presents... Yeah, let's reward these "Non Believers" with gifts. Greedy Hypocrites! "Non-Christians" need to quit celebrating "Christmas" or the Holiday needs to be renamed... How about "Family Day"? |

I use BC and AD (though technically the dates are probably off 3 or 4 years). I wonder about that too... I've tried to find out if our calendar system includes the YEAR(S) "ZERO", or not... I have been unsuccessful in getting an answer. Depending on who you ask, Some say that Jesus Christ was born on December 25, 0000 AD/CE... and others say December 25, 0001 AD/CE. I also have to wonder about if our calendar system includes December 25, 0000 BC/BCE... Trying to figure out how old exactly something... LIKE: the Great Pyramid of Egypt... is, is extremely difficult, when you don't know if need to include those 730 Days in your calculations or not. It's frustrating! Example: The Pyramid is believed to have been built around 2560 BC/BCE. 2560 BC/BCE - 0001 BC/BCE = 2559 Years 2018 AD/CE - 0001 AD/CE = 2017 Years 2559 Years + 2017 Years = 4576 Years The Great Pyramid Of Egypt is believed to approximately 4576 years old... unless you need to include the YEAR(S) Zero into your calculations... which would mean it is believed to approximately 4578 years old... Then you have other people even saying that we don't count the nine month pregnancy of "Jesus Christ" in our calendar system... HUH?... But, that would mean, we should compensate for that in our BC/BCE to AD/CE calculations Possibly "off by 3 or 4 years"? Sounds about right to me. But, I am sorry, I was taught in Math Class that ZERO exists... and So, I believe Jesus Christ was born on December 25, 0000 AD/CE... AND was in his mother's womb around March 25, 0000 AD/CE... and that YEAR ZERO BC/BCE also happened too... Until someone can prove to me otherwise, I will continue to do so. |

No year 0 in our calendar system. 1 BC was supposedly the year before His birth and AD 1 the year He was born (the first year of His earthly life). But He was probably born in 3 or 4 BC actually. December 25 was picked to celebrate not because that was His actual birth date, but because other festivals were held around that time of year. If John (the Baptist) was born in what would be our March there's a good chance Jesus was born during the Fall of that year (in our September). |
