JesusSaves1000s Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I heard that people are battling over the holiday Christmas, because theywant to rename it to 'xmas.' How ridiculous does this sound? The reason why people call it Christmas is the simple fact that it has everything to do with the birth of Christ! Just because a non-christian or non-catholic doesn't agree with the name doesn't mean we should change everything around. I know plenty of people who have no faith in God, or believe in God, yet they still celebrate the holiday. That is fine with me if you celebrate it under those terms, but don't dare change my Lord's birthday into something ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aluigi Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) P is the rho from the greek greek "Christ" goes ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ either disconnect the edge of the curve of the P from the line and you can see a lower case "r" or if you add a line to the P it's the capital "R" Edited December 12, 2004 by Aluigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
