tbh i don't understand how any woman can be xtian

or a member of any judeo-christian religion

[(Anonymous)]

indoctrination and self-hatred

[(Anonymous)]

this p. much

[(Anonymous)]

i dont understand why people say xtian

[(Anonymous)]

b/c it's the shorthand for christian

y do u think people call christmas xmas

[(Anonymous)]

they dont call it xtmas is my point

[(Anonymous)]

the greek abbreviation is actually Xt, lol

replacing Christ with the abbreviation Xt (from Ancient Greek Χ (Ch, the letter chi), the first letter of Χριστός (Christós, “Christ”) + t, the last letter of "Christ").

[(Anonymous)]

then why dont we call it xtmas

[(Anonymous)]

i think that Xt gradually morphed into just X but i could be misremembering

[(Anonymous)]

ancient greek basically

[(Anonymous)]

its replacing christ

not chris

so it should be xian

1755, preceded by earlier forms such as X'temmas (1551) and Old English Χp̃es mæssa (1100), from Christmas, replacing Christ by abbreviation X, from Ancient Greek Χ (Ch, “(letter chi)”), from Χριστός (Christós, “Christ”). Surface analysis X (“Christ”) +‎ -mas (“holiday”). In popular use since late 19th century.

idk does this explaing it better

Xt is Christ but it kind of morphed into just X over time

Xmas is because -mas means holiday

[(Anonymous)]

XP is also christ

[(Anonymous)]

x is an abbreviation of "christ"

it should more properly be "xian" igss but "xtian" is more understandable shorthand

to be human is to hold contradicting views simultaneously

well, when i was really struggling with my ocd i got to a point where i hated myself and wanted to punish myself

and that's when i joined rcia for like eight months until i got some psychological help

so personal experience says extreme self-hatred

Re: tw: mi

[(Anonymous)]

wow that's rough

like i'm not being sarcastic, joining a religion to punish yourself is really rough

hope u better

i didn't realize that's what i was doing at first, until i realized i was spending more time praying for forgiveness for "sins" (mostly obsessive/intrusive thoughts) than literally anything else

i am doing better, but i'm really scared of slipping back into that again. and tbh after talking to other people with religious/superstitious ocd, i wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for some of the really devout people in catholicism. or any religion where sin or similar concepts are a component.
