I can't believe this actually took off.
"Common Era" instead of "Anno Domini" or A.D.
And B.C.E. ("Before Common Era") instead of B.C. (Before Christ).
Scientists are such atheistic bastards! You'll notice they only got away with it in the last 40 or 50 years, though -- even the atheists didn't try to pull something like this until we had sunk so low (the post-Vatican II era).
Ok, Mr. smartypants atheistic scientist, how did everyone start using the same starting year for the so-called "Common Era"? Oh, a man started a new religion? Like that doesn't happen all the time? A man was put to death by capital punishment and that was deemed a big enough reason to reset the year? And it actually took off?
If you take what they believe at face value, the actual historical facts don't make any sense.
Their attempt to cover up the significance of Our Lord's appearance on the earth is pathetic.
They hope no one actually thinks about it.

I had a college professor who was intent on using these annotations. He said, when questioned, "Why do Christians get to define time?!" He also wanted us to read 'The 'Gospel' of Mary Magdalene.' I didn't.

I had never heard of it until I went to college. I don't know if regular people use it yet.

Too bad for him.
They did. It's a historical fact.
He's not ignorant of Christianity, he's running from it.
Some people who suspect the truth have to run from it, because they know what it will mean for them.
My cousin is an apostate, and I can tell you that he's TRYING to be an atheist, but doing a lousy job. He's trying a steady diet of blasphemy to try to kill his conscience, but it's always still there, waiting for him.
He admitted to the world (on Myspace) that Catholicism was just too hard for him. He gave up. How sad, tragic, and pathetic. He also mentioned some sins of his youth (again, on the Internet!) -- which were under the sixth commandment -- another textbook example of Our Lady of Fatima's statement about why most souls are lost: sins of the flesh.
Hopefully he won't be lost in the end -- he was my best friend as a teenager.

It was the Jews who popularized this usage in academia, which is another manifestation of their faithlessness. Even Wiki says, "Use of the CE abbreviation was introduced by Jєωιѕн academics in the mid-19th century."
This is just the world at constant enmity with the reign of Christ. Recognizing Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Incarnation and birth as the cornerstone and centre of history, the foundation of all true civilization, doesn't sit well at all with some people.
-
If people try to use common era with me, I just continue the conversation and substitute AD with "the year of Our Lord" and BC with "Before Christ".
-
I see it used in increasing frequency particularly in newer history/philosophy/sociology type of publications.
The educational system has always been used as the means to change a culture. That's why there is "sex ed" in kindergarten and flag stomping in high school. Get the kids trained young and they will march lock-step as adults.

Nishant is quite correct - this is yet another damnable example of Jєωιѕн Christ-hatred embraced and codified by the post-Christian world.
I wonder if these petty, spiteful Yehudim and their goy bootlicks ever bothered to consider that, whether there's an AD or a "CE" behind it, the years themselves are still reckoned according to the birth of Christ.

It's still "Anno Domini" to me.

I've so far only heard of others doing this- never actually experienced it firsthand in the university setting (or otherwise). I'd be less surprised to hear it from a "social scientist"- but then again, I don't hold that field as a science anyway.

I gave this post a thumbs up in an attempt to counteract the thumbs down. The person who thumbed down this post did so out of sheer malice, SHAME!

I remember a Berkeley woman professor using it in number theory class.
I said to her, you mean the era common to Christians?
She was not pleased about that.

Or maybe they don't care for hit-and-run throwaway posts which are obviously thumbs-up bait from someone who has otherwise accrued many a well-deserved and hard earned thumbs down...

I see I've met the the thumb downer. Go ahead and thumb me down again, I really don't care.

Nah. This time I thumbed you up. I like the cut of your jib.

Oh, didn't know God died and left you to judge. Do you expect everyone to believe you know why I posted what I did? And, just become someone deserved thumbs down on previous posts does not mean that person deserves a thumbs down on every post. I still believe the thumbs up and thumbs down concept tempts Catholics to be uncharitable since they can hide behind anonymity and thumb down posts not based on the content, but on a personal dislike of the poster.

Uh-oh, Charity PoliceTM Alert.
I withdraw my praise for the cut of your jib.

Another gem of self-contradiction from the abusers of "Judge not lest ye be judged."
It's high time the Charity Police got their own Knapp Commission.

I read somewhere that this practice was instituted to help Christian scholars. Though I can't imagine how it would.

The kind of Christian scholars that Pope St Pius X wrote about in "Pascendi Dominici Gregis".

Undoubtedly. The formation of these "Christian scholars" must have been saturated with modernism.
