Xtina, Xmas, it seems that we are taking out anywhere there is a Christ and replacing it with an X. Are we that lazy that we can’t be bothered to type out Christ when necessary? In this sense then when referring to Jesus, it should really be Jesus X instead of Jesus Christ right? Why not considering Christmas is supposed to be named after him right?
When did we get so lazy? Replacing words with numbers is one thing, but replacing words with a symbol instead of writing out the whole thing seems a bit ridiculous. In this case the symbol doesn’t even have anything to do with what it is replacing. How is X a replacement for those six letters? It makes no sense to me, how about to you? Do you see a rise in symbols replacing words more than usual nowadays?
My college professor at religion told us that this was rooted a long time ago. The people are used to this and my professor told us that this is acceptable and Christ also symbolizes x.
