"Dad, what do 'B.C.' and 'A.D.' mean?"

Wokie demands can be either dictatorial or subtle.  Here's one of the latter:

If you're over 50 or so you may recall that historical dates used to have one of two suffixes: "B.C." or "A.D."  Ring any bells?

If you have kids in highschool, ask 'em if they know what those abbreviations mean. 

Starting in the 1990s academic and educational institutions replaced those terms with "BCE" (Before Common Era) and "CE" (Common Era). Wiki explains "This transition occurred gradually... as modern history (i.e. wokies) prioritized inclusive, secular terminology that removes direct religious connotations.

Translation: academics stopped using "B.C." and  "AD" cuz wokies said it wasn't "inclusive enough" for our Chinese or Muslim friends.  Maybe not to Jews either--beats me.

The never-spoken "reasoning" is that Christ was (and is) no different from any other historical figure, and thus there's no reason to base dates around his birth.  I get it.

What you don't get is what a deft, effortless defeat the wokies inflicted on Christianity.  By forcing the end of the use of "BC" and "AD"--without a whisper of disagreement (because the wokiez din' wanna look like religious rubes, eh?)--"woke" historians and academics relegated Christ to the category of "just another guy."

Now, it can come as no surprise that every religion wants "their figure" to be divine, the one true son  or prophet or intermediary.  And obviously from our vantage point 700 or 2000 years later, there's a lot of room for disagreement about the details from centuries earlier.  

All we can do is try to compare the predictable results of various religions.  And if you do that, Christianity fares very well in terms of encouraging good outcomes.  

Of course academics could have done the same thing, but none was willing to do so cuz dey wanted to look woke instead of unsophisticated.
