USMCBillsFan Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Maybe it is time to take the mass out of Christmas because most Americans don't go to mass, they watch football, therefore X-Bowl. Merry X-Bowl everybody!!! It'll be a blue X-bowl without you. 868583[/snapback] Is your real name "Christ Benedict"?
X. Benedict Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Is your real name "Christ Benedict"? 870587[/snapback] Members of the Nation of Isthebaropen change their first names to "X" to symbolize their names lost due to heavy drinking.

tennesseeboy Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 No. Not only is "X" an appropriate symbol for crucifixion (the typical Roman crucifixion cross was actually X-shaped; Jesus' crucifixion was very atypical), but it's also the Greek letter χ, as in "χριστοσ", which is "Christ" in Greek. So if you have a problem with it, the problem's yours. The abbreviation is entirely appropriate. 868325[/snapback] I agree. I might call it Christmas out of habit, but I don't give a rat's ass what other people call it, and X-mas does have the meanings you spell out. I can't imaging Jesus is losing a lot of sleep over this issue.

Close your eyes if you don't want to be offended... Being a man and carpenter... He probably had certain choices for tools, just like automobiles today??? On that note: My son thinks he (Jesus) would drive a Land Rover... Myself, thinks he is a "Jeep guy"... x2 My wife? Got him in a VW MicroBus...
