Dating systems: BC and AD, or BCE and CE?

[Jona Lendering]

I seriously doubt the ban of AD/BC will improve our standing in the eyess of different cultures.

Well, it does. If you show sensitivity, you will gain credit.

People with whom you might seriously disagree, will give you a lot of additional credit if you avoid BC/AD. An example is the historicity of the Hebrew conquest of Canaan - so crucial to Zionism, but essentially a myth. If you abstain from BC/AD, many orthodox Jews will in return give you space to argue why it's a myth.
