ā¦and letās not forget the reason for the season!
DEUS SOL INVICTUS, all hail the unconquerable sun!
That Ī§ĻĪ¹ĻĻĪæĻ fellow was born in the summertime or late fall.
Well at least we know who put the X in Sex.
Man that āno face paintā phase of theirs still freaks me out a bit.
What Iād like to know is who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
If you notice Jesusā hand in some paintings, heās flashing a sign that is his name in Greek.
You can see an example here:
Educated Christians should already know about this sort of stuff, like the chi-rho Christogram, one would have thought? Anyway, no big deal.
Christians are just ordinary folk. Not everyone knows everything.
The thing that tends to inspire a certainā¦visceral distasteā¦ for christians ignorant of this particular bit of trivia is the (nontrival, and really loud) segment of christians who donāt know about it and freak out about the atheist, liberal, secular, plot to ātake the Christ out of Christmas!!!ā or āCensor Jeus!!!ā by using āXmasā as an abbreviation.
Jesus had better hope that Megyn Kelly is right about him being a white guy; because he is clearly flashing a gang sign in that icon. If she isnāt, itās a tasing and overworked-public-defender-fun-timeā¦
Thus the Chi-Rho page in the Book of Kells.
The loudest Christians are the ones with the least to say thatās worth hearing.
The loudest anyones are not worth listening to unless theyāre singing.
Looks more like āThe Shocker.ā
No, but often these same Xians are professing to know how other people should live their lives, and claiming that Xianity is the only way to be a good personā¦while displaying gross ignorance of the same Xianity they are trying to force on others. Iāve found that I often know more about Xianity, itās history, and whatās in the Bible than the Bible-thumpers I come across.
And sometimes not even then. You ever do karaoke?
Agree with most of the comments above, and would only add that the use of āXā instead of writing out āChristā wasnāt merely for convenience, but rather to avoid using āHis name in vain,ā and thus to keep it sacred/holy/etc.
xkcd10k ftw!
That doesnāt sound right. Do you have a cite for that?
Iād heard it was, in part to avoid persecution from the romans- use a code and such.
