    Well, I don't subscribe to Christianity but I have learnt BC and AD, and I'll continue to use them as for me CE and BCE are hypocritical as they arguably imposes a “Christian” time reckoning on non-Christians under the guise of “Common Era.” I'm writing this as I'm in Thailand, where we are currently in 2567 after Buddha attained parinibbāna. So who's right?
