Actually, most Christians I know don’t like the *X* abbreviation for *Christ*.

They feel it’s nor respectful enough.

I am aware of that. However, they are mistaken. It is an abbreviation using the Greek letter chi, the first letter in the Greek word xristos.

I was once a chr*stian, and I was also in school where I had to take lots of notes, and quickly. The "X" is, or should be, a legitimate abbreviation with no negative connotations. It is for that reason that I don't use it. Unfortunately, most people don't see it that way.

You are mistaken. If YOUR time is too valuable that you didn't spell out the name Christ, you show you never spent time with HIM. You never KNEW Him, yet, you reject HIM.

'ya think? Who are you trying to convince?
