Aractus Wrote:Not quite. X is the first letter of Χριστος (Greek: Christos). Definition: Anointed One; the Messiah, the Christ. Χριστιανός (Greek: Christianos). Definition: Christian, a follower of Christ. "X" is simply the first letter of Christ/Christian in Greek. Hence Xmas, etc. It's not "shorthand" for Christ, no one uses X to mean Christ ie "Jesus X" or "X Jesus", etc, it's only used for words which have a meaning attributed to it: Christian, Christmas.
Humble yourself, you blind fool... where did I say it directly meant Jesus? I only said exactly what you have stated.
