Why 14 ACE??

It's just a name, however, some ultra-nationalistic-atheists can't stand to have anything slightly associated with a foreign culture/religion and for better "understanding" a new "neutral" term must be created even thought it means exactly the same thing.

It's as if they just couldn't live with it, their own religion is so weak, they are so spiritually insecure, the original term seem to hurt them right on the weak spot.

So, have a little pitty, and let them heretics have their wishes, it's not only "politically correct" crap, it's the least you can do to make their life a little less miserable.

I don't care about this particular debate in the least. The letters don't mean a thing to me. BC and AD are just fine.

However, your argument could be generously called way off base. You want to speak in absurdities? I could easily make an equally absurd, amusing statement about the insecurities of faith, but I think it would be crass to stoop to such lows.

Keep statements like this where they belong, in the backroom.

Okay, I'm a heretic, yeah...

And you wonder why I loathe you people

And for the reccord it isnt about "political correctness" its about overzealous and self-important fanatics who wan't to force their religion down the throat of everyone else, and mesaures to check them.

Khelvan, I apologize for adding wood to the fire as it were, BUT I'm not about to let some shmuck who thinks its the damned middle ages call me a bloody Heretic!
