2006 CE?
« on: April 18, 2006, 01:33:28 AM »
The Kentucky Board of Education has voted to take the first step in redefining how America dates time. The board voted to include a new secular system of dating the calendar, BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era), and added it to the BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") method.

The new secular system of time dating will appear in the curriculum and other materials used by Kentucky educators. This new system is already being included in textbooks across the nation.

The new method will replace the birth of Christ as the dividing point in history. For example, the new system would change 2006 AD (Anno Domini) to 2006 CE (Common Era).

It also opens the door for the ACLU to find a liberal activist judge who will forcefully remove the use of BC and AD. The ACLU types will claim that the use of BC and AD are a violation of the First Amendment because it dates history based on the birth of Christ.

My word!  And I thought I had to much free time in the winter.  

Has anyone really ever had a problem with BC or AD before? I can not believe there are that many atheist in this country.  Let alone the state of  Kentucky, as to require the education board to have to resort to this.  It's truely amazing what a very small, very mixed up minority can do.  When the elected officals are busy playing politics and not doing the job they were paid to do. Sounds like the good GOD fearing folks in Kentucky need to start voicing there opinion to there elected officials!    

We wonder what is wrong with the country today? :?
