Yes, really. I go to a Jesuit university so if you can't handle seeing a crucifix in every room, you don't go there, and thus BC and AD don't offend people. My boyfriend graduated from a public university as a history major and he said they never had that in books either.
and Joel, those are two isolated incidents. The entire staff at my retail store is Christian, and we have been instructed to say "Happy Holidays" to our customers. If somebody wishes us a Merry Christmas, of course we'll say that back, but if they don't, this way they aren't offended. Nobody wants to hear about the Baby J when purchasing beautiful stilettos.
and Dekeguy, those were great posts.
