""BCE & CE" & OTHER LINGUISTIC HIJACKINGS"


 
Greetings Doves

     I suppose that if I were charged with the task of destroying the human race via language I suppose I'd invent the English Language. The English language has so many gray areas in which to morally and ethically hide, that we English speakers can avoid direct moral assessments to our own detriment. Some sins have acquired their own set of linguistics, complete with morphology of words. For instance, "reproductive rights" is spoken of. "Reproducible", "reproducible parts" - or standardized parts was a fall out of the industrial revolution, not the abortion movement. The abortion movement co-opted the language (along with inherent meaning) and now babies are aborted with production-like efficiency. The "believers" word to be used here is "PROCREATION", this at least attempts to magnifies God.

     Some of us attend Bible study groups on Thursday evenings --- THORS - DAY, co-opted from Thor -- a Norse god!, same for Wednesday - Odin, Friday is Anglo-Saxon, Friggus, a forest sprite or imp!

     Now it is become politically correct to use BCE and CE to respectively replace our BC (Before CHRIST) and Anno DOMINI (AD). As for me these linguistic high places are just that Biblical "High Places". I refuse to DE-CHRIST the calendar by using the nouveau designations BCE and CE!
