Who here realizes that X-mas is not taking Christ out of Christmas?

Question

Quite the opposite infact.

Answer 1

X is Greek for Christos which is where the title of Christ comes from in the first place. So no you are not taking Christ out of (the word) Christmas by writing it that way. Christmas is the Christianized version of Yule (the Pagan winter holiday) that was created by the Catholic Church as a way to gain converts without riots. However Christmas as we know it today is just as much secular as it is religious, depending on who celebrates it.

Answer 2

Isous Xpistos Theos Uios Soter

Answer 3

that is pagan sun worship and Christ was never in Christmas.
He wasn't born then so the first lie is that is his birthday.
The second he would want us to celebrate his birthday. The early christians never celebrated birthdays. That was a pagan custom. The evergreen tree came from Sun worship and the top candle represented the sun. It was adopted into Christianity in the 4th century after Christ. Santa Clause is a lie and so are his raindeer. It fosters the believe that someone other than God knows if your good or bad. That rich kids deserve more than poor kids. He doesn't go down a chimmney so that to is another lie. To force this pagan believe on others is a violation of our freedom of religion. I don't care if you call it X-mas or what.
I don't want to celebrate pagan customs and we are almost forced to do it.
