It's not a simple abbreviation, it's the intent behind it, it's the removal of the word/name Christ.
It isn't "removing" jack shit --- it's an ABBREVIATION. Just as the word "isn't" isn't removing the O in "not".
'scuse me for one moment...........
It's just as offensive to suggest that Jesus Christ did not die on the Cross,
That's not "offensive" at all, it's a legitimate historical question. There's a current thread, which you just linked, examining that very question and taking a poll on it. That's not a *******
value judgment. Holy shit, how much PCP do you have over there??
yet you didn't wet your underwear about that like you are about the use of the N word
I are huh. Link? Quote? Anything?
The blacks call THEMSELVES the N word, so what about that?
"The blacks" huh?
Some blacks may use it. It's a way of disarming a charged term by taking ownership of it. Much like gay people appropriated the word "gay" or cannabis smokers assumed the word "pot". It defuses a term that is negatively charged, at least to a degree.
"The blacks". Holy shit, posting about Composition and Generalization fallacies just falls on deaf ignorant ears around here.
