Students taking a criminology course approached me after the professor banned (fortunately in writing) the use of the word “mankind” as “sexist.” Students were threatened specifically with point deductions for every single use of the word in exams or papers. Unfortunately, students did not stand up to the professor. Now I have learned that the professor has adopted another rule – this one banning use of the terms “BC” and “AD.”

The professor in question told the students that using “BCE” and “CE” is now a “convention.” Of course, it is simply incorrect to say that prohibiting students from using BC/AD and forcing them to use BCE/CE is a “convention.” It is a practice employed by a very small number of professors – most having strong antipathy towards Christianity.

B.C.E. is the same starting point as B.C. all the way to A.D., The Year of Our Lord. or C.E., and whether one wishes to call it the Christian Era or the Common Era, or Before the Christian Era versus Before the Common Era, one cannot escape it. The atheistic monkeys have to recognize that indisputable fact, and I hope it boils their hemorrhoids. However, only anal-retentives would have the gall to change it, along with "mankind", "man", "he" when referring to persons male or female, et cetera. This is a man's world, and all you homos and sexist whales and candy-assed vegans and quiche eaters out there can kiss my butt!

I advise not writing such things. Some of them would take you up on it.

[DesertFox]

I agree with Wolfie. You homos and sexist whales and candy-assed vegans and quiche eaters out there can kiss his butt!

[jayson]

What's with all the quiche hate? That's some good shit!

[Timberwolf]

Yeah, but even good shit is still SHIT. :biggrin:

(interpreted to mean Before Common Era/Common Era) instead of B.C./A.D. (though some of their older Bible study books might use the traditional abbreviations) because they don't believe that we "in" a "year of our Lord" (the meaning of Anno Domini).

I don't know if other putatively Christian religions do anything likewise for the same reason, however.
