I’m not certain why, if you no longer believe that Christ is the Messiah, you honor His title by inserting an asterisk as you do a dash for “God”. This really is not a jab, I really would like to know the rationale for it. It seems to me that if not spelling the name of God comports with traditional honor to the Almighty, not spelling the name of Christ would accord Him the same honor: that He is the Almighty.
Truly not an antagonistic question.

The "*" is to prevent writing out in full the name of a false "gxd." This is different from avoiding spelling out, because of reverence, a reference to the True G-d. Most Jews/Noachides use the "X" (X, Xian, Xmas, etc.), but I long ago decided to let the chr*stians keep the "X" and use it for themselves without feeling like they were denying their faith by doing so.
This answer is not intended to be antagonistic either.
