Also, some people in this discussion have drawn parallels between this and imperial units of measurement. HELLOOOO?! It's not really like you need to *convert* between the two, you know?! Or maybe I just somehow missed that 1 year CE is actually equivalent to 3.573495764 years AD?
Just as some people cling to old units of measurement, the "standardists" in the AD/CE debate cling to AD and BC because they are used to them, not because they are Christians.
Did you even read my message? Presumably not. I never denied nor contradicted that, nor even mentioned or referred to it.
