ZC,

I ask because it makes no sense for you to type out the name of someone whom you don’t believe is God with a letter missing like that. Jews often do that for the name of God. If you don’t believe Jesus is God, then there’s no sense in doing it. And since no one believes Christians are God, there is no reason at all to do it as you do.

I just read your explanation in the post far above. (sigh) I can’t see how that makes sense. I’m not trying to pick on you. Honestly.

Jews avoid writing in full names and words for G-d, that is true. They also avoid writing out the names of false "gxds" for the precisely opposite reason. I don't just refrain from writing out the full name of J*sus, but also of all false "gxds," including those for which the days of the week and months of the year are named (not to mention planets). I do it as a religious scruple and not to offend or hurt anyone, and I explained why I use the "*" rather than the "X." At one time I thought chr*stians would at least appreciate my going to the extra effort to let them use the "X" themselves in good conscience, but none ever has and I suppose none ever will.

Unfortunately, I can only do my best to explain. If my best isn't good enough, I am not going to be able to explain it to you.

Be well.
