Xmas

I always thought the word Xmas was just a quick way of writing Christmas but some Christians apparently take umbrage at it because it is us Atheists trying to take Christ out of Chiristmas.
Now i am all for making Christmas a less religious event but i was unaware until this weekend that writing Xmas was what we was doing so thanks to bringing it to my attention, i will make sure i write it more often from now on but as usual the Christians have their panties in a bunch for nothing because i asked a lexicographer (everyone should have one handy) and they bah-humbugged it as a load of ignorant tosh. Religious folk being ignorant??? My flabber has never been so ghasted!!
If they bothered to do some research such as read a book other than the one they find in Church they would find that the -X began in 11th Century Greece as an abbreviation for Christo so Xmas is actually Christomas and was a way for Christian scholars to refer to Jesus in their ancient language.
It's an ecclesiastical abbreviation that has been used for almost as long as Christmas has been in existence.
As i have said previously to religious types, next time you want to angrily shake your rosary beads at atheists and accuse us of trying to ban Christmas, remember who it was that actually banned it before.
