Quote:Well... growing up in eastern Germany I got to know v.u.z./u.z. (BCE/CE) as the officially enforced terminology of the regime, because it naturally was anti-religious. I do not have a confession myself but I do not want to use that terminology, especially as hard-core Nazis were also fond of avoiding Christian dating...I must confess that I had to smile when I first read that in East German publications: VUZ (Vor Unserer Zeit) meaning 'Before Our Time', still using the Christian era system, and thereby suggestion that 'our time' began with Christ.. A big no-no to a Communist state of course! :lol:
