What the fuck is an Xtian?

It's a bigoted title used to demean, humiliate and insult Christians.

It's like saying "nigger" instead of black.

Wow, that sounds pretty bad.

It's like Xmas.
Care4All says there is nothing wrong with it. IMO, anything that makes typing easier is cool.

Always A Bitch takes offense to it because she can't allow thoughts about anything outside of her own little narrow views.

"x" basically means "whatever", and the "tians" is a reference to theologically challenged people like Always Babbling.

You can measure the patriotism of a citizen, not by how much they shout in support of their country, but rather by how much they KNOW about their country.

The nuns told me X was okay.

And hell and damn weren't curse words.

They wanted to sell Christmas items out of their stores, but didn't want to write Christmas on their windows.

So to eliminate the word Christ. They would spell it Xmas

What do they know!!! Allie says they aren't even Christian!

Allie's an idiot. But you already knew that.

Urban Dictionary: xtian

"An abbreviation for "Christian". Based upon the first letter (Chi, which looks like an X) of the Greek word for Christ (Christos). The X therefore being a traditional symbol for Christ. Xtian is often used rather than Xian to avoid confusion with the Chinese city.
This abbreviation is often mistaken as derogatory by some Christians unaware of the history of the people of their faith. "

It's really a means by which morons can be identified--they think what is just an abbreviation is somehow equated to being called a nigger.

Oh yeah, and the gullible.

Darn it! Ya beat me too it. That's why I laugh at those who think it's derogatory to write it.

I checked it out on the web to see if I was just being naive, but I couldn't find any website that didn't sound paranoid who said it was a derogatory term.

Maybe all the wannabee victim xtians will end up making it one.

Bleh.

Does that mean we'll soon start seeing you use "u" instead of "you," "r" instead of "are," etc.?

One of the reasons I like message boards better than chat rooms is that you have the time and preview button to write your responses well. There are some common acronyms like "lol," but they are generally used more like emoticons than like actual words/phrases.

Typing isn't hard to begin with. Unless you're spitting out messages in a competitively time-sensitive scenario, why not type words properly?
