X is an unknown
Christ is an unknown

Xian – an interesting word, an interesting concept.
Xian!

After experiencing, and later examining the Holiday squabble of 2005, one can only come to the conclusion that the “Silent Majority” has awakened and is objecting to the loss of Christ in most of America.
It was only a few generations ago that it was called “Christian America” for the simple reason the country was founded on Christian principles. As Christianity became diluted, the idea of Christian America faded. The most obvious evidence is the word “Xmas” in place of Christmas. The “X” came from the Greek language and was the initial – in Greek – of Christ. In English, the “X” denotes an unknown quantity. Since most Americans do not speak Greek, the X reverts to the English ‘unknown quantity’.
Because Christ has also become unknown, the X is appropriate.
Christmas becomes Xmas.
Christianity becomes Xianity.
Christians become Xians.
X stands for the unknown.
Objection ! The churches teach Christ.
They teach their particular versions of Christ and there are an awful lot of different versions. All are supposedly based on the Bible . . . and sometimes the Q’ran, Book of Mormon, and others.
If all versions of Christ are based on the same source(s), then those who interpret that source have lost the meaning of that source and have made it overly complicated after the manner of their own ideas.
All this means that Christ is an unknown, therefore an “X”.
This may be an oversimplification of a deep subject, but the seed of reality is here.
Back to 2005 - - -
The ratio of sales between “Happy Holiday” cards and “Merry Christmas” has changed. The after Christmas sales of Christmas cards seem to have sold out far before the Happy Holiday cards. The demand is greater than expected
For non-Christians the Happy Holiday cards are appropriate and should be so used.
Just something to think about.
