First came BC... Then AD... Now CE??
Anybody notice the new politically correct version of years? Yep that's right say "Good bye" to BC. (I hope someone told Johnny Hart)
By the way Johnny Hart's Grandson is now drawing the comic strip...pretty cool that they kept it in the family. (Go check out the latest from B.C. at http://www.comics.com/creators/bc/index.html)
Back to the main subject, political correctness gone amuck. To see all the details about why we no longer live in the "the year of our Lord", but instead we live in the "Common Era". So CE = AD, and BCE = BC. Now of course there is this un-named event that separates BCE from CE...that event just happens to be, you guessed the the birth of Jesus Christ. Follow this link at AnswerBag.com for more details.Have you ever heard the term the "lowest common denominator"? Unfortunately society, or at least the elitist in charge, have decided to change our society so that we all live by our lowest common denominator. Which means they want a vanilla society, no differences in flavor, because someone who likes chocolate might be offended that I like strawberry...Their solution, outlaw all flavors except vanilla...and don't even try to make french vanilla or natural bean vanilla. For a deeper read on this method of changing society go read America's Meltdown: The Lowest-Common-Denominator Society
Personally I know the real reason for getting rid of BC and AD. Here is the secret...it is purely an attack on God. Some people (a small but persistent minority of people) want to remove Jesus from the world. So they rename his birthday celebration, they remove the right of people to talk to him, they water down and change the record of his words, and now they try to remove his birth from being the central demarker of time. We must be just as persistent in speaking truth, and loving those same people. AlphaGrey signing off on this beautiful September day in 2008 AD.
