B.C. or B.C.E. which one is better?

B.C. (Before Christ) is as far as I'am concerned better, because it at least shows that it is a way which the christians use to calculate time.
While B.C.E. must be insulting to other cultures and religions since it states 'Before Common Era' something that implies that everyone calculates time, with the birth of Christ as fixed point in time.

'Civilization'

Is it really fair how civilization is defined?
Socities that are seen as uncivilized are automaticly primitive, bad and of course savages. Is this way of thinking really fair?
Here is the definition of civilization is it fair or is it just a way the 'white man' found to make other socities seem less important?
A Civilization has to have, culture (arts, language written and spoken), a written law code, must be non-nomadic (settled in towns and cities), must have agriculture, the distribution of technology (tools, metall working, etc.), centralized political power, Religion and some sort of priest.
