    I started a thread recently that said Merry Christx. It then promptly was deleted because it was "flamebait".

    However, what if I had said Merry Xmas? My guess is that it would NOT have been deleted. Am I wrong and, if so, isn't this wrong as well?

    Merry Christmas or Merry Xmas is the same thing..

    one has the word christ on it, the other a cross. they both mean the same thing. My guess is that it was deleted by the pesky annoying atheists.

    I always viewed it as atheist wanting to delete the name of Chrsit by saying, "Xmas". Just for fun, I decided to say "Christx".

    It's weird to me that some of you care so much about this issue.


    Merry Christmas.........

    Ah, the term Xmas makes sense now! Anyway Merry Xmas. Time to go visit the parents, have some drinks, then go out to the bar to find a lonely xmas girl. Be safe all!

    What JediMiller was saying makes sense, that you basically switchout Christ for a cross. So, Christians could be called Xians?
