JesusSaves1000s Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I heard that people are battling over the holiday Christmas, because theywant to rename it to 'xmas.' How ridiculous does this sound? The reason why people call it Christmas is the simple fact that it has everything to do with the birth of Christ! Just because a non-christian or non-catholic doesn't agree with the name doesn't mean we should change everything around. I know plenty of people who have no faith in God, or believe in God, yet they still celebrate the holiday. That is fine with me if you celebrate it under those terms, but don't dare change my Lord's birthday into something ridiculous.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Actually, this will end up biting them in the butt in the end...X (chi) is the first letter of Christ in the original Greek...hehehe...

Quietfire Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 If I am correct and the the letter X is the first letter in the original Greek, then isnt P the last. XP would mean Christ Jesus. So my puter is blessed.... windows XP !!!!!!!

Guest Aluigi Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) P is the rho from the greek greek "Christ" goes ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ either disconnect the edge of the curve of the P from the line and you can see a lower case "r" or if you add a line to the P it's the capital "R" Edited December 12, 2004 by Aluigi

therevolution Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 im guessing you guys already talked about christmahannukwanzaka? but yeah like people always say: dont say xmas, its like you are crossing (Xing) out Christ
Phatmasser777 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Btw Im celebrating a Merry Secular Xmas
JesusSaves1000s Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 It's not just a word, it's a whole meaning. You get rid of the word you get rid of the meaning. Christmas has already been taken over by advertiser's and gift bearers, but now you want to totally get rid of Jesus Christ on his birthday? It's stupid.

THEY BUILD THEIR CULTURE ON QUICK SAND AND EXPECT IT TO STAND..ROFL@THE SECULARISTS. ONLY THE CHURCH IS BUILT ON ROCK EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL. Edited December 12, 2004 by MC Just

The secularists are doing more damage than they think. The secularists also believe they are religions, which they aren't.
