X·mas (krsms, ksms)
n.
Christmas.
[From X, the Greek letter chi, first letter of Greek Khrstos, Christ; see Christ.]
Usage Note: Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of , "Christ." In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, "Christian." But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.


Now you can once again STFU
 
I think what his point is not the average person knows this so to them it is taking Christ out of Christmas... Both are valid arguments the x does stand for that but then again what percent of people do u think actually know this? You could call it ignorance but at the same time it's not really 'need to know' information

But one argument is based on ignorance as a defense -- and that's a non-starter.

No one is following you man. There is no argument. You are dead wrong.
 
Ha just because u started this post trying to bash a guy for his opinion and I made an accurate comparison and you can't follow doesn't mean I'm dead wrong maybe u should just get the point that u can't compare greek-english to a tex-mex kind of speaking... Ur having to mix two languages to make your point guy so it never was someone being wrong it's an opinion and they way you interpret things so maybe u should get a life and quit trying to make other people look dumb for their beliefs and opinions... Move on

Alternatively, anyone using 'Xmas' could just not be a fucking idiot and assume the "X" had an origin as opposed to someone randomly inserting a meaningless letter...because that happens so often in language. :rolleyes:

I think it'd be stupid to assume "Xmas" exists just to take the 'Christ' out of 'Christmas' when you consider that anyone who has such a problem with Christ that they cant bring themselves to say the word 'Christmas' probably isn't even saying the word enough for it to matter. .

Lol, you're my man ER.
All in good fun man.
X-mas can mean whatever you want it to or your church
Or whatever.
I read as much of the bayou hillbillies run sentences as I could.
Very hard to understand him. CL can decipher it apparently.
 
I remember as a kid when the Simpsons did the whole Xmas thing and it sent the church in a uproar.

My parents wouldn't let me watch the Simpsons anymore due to the Xmas thing

That is prolly why I hate the work Xmas

Lol you're just as difficult to understand. You can barely type. Either that, or you just post from your phone. I always give you the benefit of the doubt and figure you post from your phone.

ER...I was raised completely different. lol...

Yes, from the gym in my building.
 
Prolly true Cindy.

My parents went to a Catholic church a few times a month, and i loved it

then my uncle was in a crazy pentecostal church and started to influence my mom, while my dad didn't care and did his own thing

he was the one that caused me to stop watching the Simpsons cause he told my mom about it. Keep in mind this was 20 years ago
 
Yeah, prolly the Catholic influence that caused that. In my house Christmas wasn't a religious holiday at all. It was a sorta a shock when I married a Catholic and the kids sang happy bday to Jesus on Christmas Eve and I was stuck going to mass and there were nativity scenes everywhere. LOL I was like...wait...you guys do realize...oh fuck it never mind. I didn't want to be "that person"
 
and i'd also like to wish happy birthday to the other "gods" who have the same bday: Horus, Mithra, Krishna, Osiris, Dionysus!!

So it was all your uncle, and you probably didn't really understand why at the time nor agree with the way things went down, yet you've held on to the tradition? Bravo sir!

As a Christian, you should be glad if someone is trying to take Christ out of the pagan tradition of celebrating his birthday on December 25th.

If Jesus Christ wasn't born on December 25th, then who's birthday are people celebrating on that day? "Another Jesus?"
 
At the time when my dad made us go to church, the Catholic church was 30-45 minutes. We only went a few times a month.

Then the crazy pentecostal started taking us to a church that would last easily over 2 hours. It was awefull. That guy sure liked hearing himself talk, jeez.

lol exactly. I'm surprised my Dad allowed a Christmas tree. Nativity scenes, Santa and angels were not allowed in the house or on the tree. We made a point to not attend church as a family on xmas day, as my Dad was convinced the RCC was the harlot and wanted to separate us as much as we could from tradition. My Dad was one of "those people" that would announce at the big family xmas dinner Jesus wasn't really born on Christmas, it was a pagan holiday and watch everyone's faces fall or their eyes roll...lol Good times.

Were people getting "slain in the spirit" and talking in tongues? Was there a big tent revival?
 
Indeed indeed she does

lol, i know someone who was

every year it's the same ol shit, america is going under and russia will invade

ceo, at least handling snakes would be way more interesting than listening to that dude ramble on for two hours
 
that's when the preacher comes by and touches you on the forehead and you fall back and start shaking like you're having a seizure. This will sometimes be accompanied by a little tongue talkin.
 
so you're a tongue talker but never been slain in the spirit? I thought you only got your "prayer language" when you were baptized in the holy ghost? When that sort of power comes over you, how can you not be "slain"?
