Hi, I know this is not an easy subject, and I'd like so say I'm a Christian and I support Christianity for 100%. Though I also respect people with different religions, who do not put as much value to Jesus's existence as we do. When you talk about things that are not related to religion and that should be as neutral as possible, which notation should you use? AD (with a heavy pro-Christian connotation) or BCE (with an equal anti-Christian notation)? I myself would honestly choose for BCE, but I'm not sure. Could anybody give me a solid reason as to why I should use either one? Thank you. [[User:MalP|MalP]] 21:19, 4 March 2010 (EST)

:It is modern in usage, most likely developed by secular liberals to be inclusive of others, a promotion of non-Christian values. I would be interested to know what the Chinese or Israelis use since their cultures predate the Gregorian calender of the West.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 21:31, 4 March 2010 (EST)
