Christianees is great around other Christians but to speak Christianees to non belivers is just going to confuse them. Bathing in the blood, thats just weired when you don't understand the concept. And another thing anybody run into one of those Christians that still read king Jimmy so when they talk to you, you would swear that they just walked out of a rennasaunce fair? ( beg ye not to juge thy terrible spelling ye who art anal retentive ones!)

I don't do that. Don't generalize.
As for the Spelling issue, it only makes you appear to be more intelligent.
Haven't you heard the atheist arguement that they are all perfect Spellers/grammartarians?

Because it's "loaded language," and this is constantly used in certain churches. Those Christians who do it can't help it, I think.
To explain further:
"The term 'loading the language' refers to a literalization of language---and to words or images becoming god. A greatly simplified language may seem cliche-ridden but can have enormous appeal and psychological power in its very simplification. Because every issue in one's life... can be reduced to a single set of principles that have an inner coherence, one can claim the experience of truth and feel it. Answers are available. Lionel Trilling has called this the 'language of non-thought' because there is a cliche and a simple explanation to which the most complicated and otherwise difficult questions can be reduced."

I totally agree with your resistance to Christianees!
I don't mind if people like to talk bible speak but it really doesn't mean much to me.Surely if they understand the principle of the metaphors used they could explain it in normal language.

This is a valid question when Chritians are conversing with people it is important that understand the other persons perspective and explain when it is needed.

for a second there i thought you had coined a term 'christianees' as a contraction of 'christian pharisees'. oh well, i think i'm going to use it anyway.
to answer your question, they respect the authority of the bible for some odd reason.
