That's actually a mark of respect, if I understand his intentions correctly (and hopefully he'll correct me if I do not). Many Jews do not fully write out the names and titles for the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lest they be treated lightly--thus you will see them writing G-d, L-rd, and so on, as in ZC's post above.

By substituting an asterisk for the "i" in Christ, and Christian, ZC is according Christ with the same kind of respect, even though he no longer believes in Jesus Christ himself.

Good post, ZC. I myself celebrated Hanukkah this year rather than Christmas, and I thoroughly enjoyed how well you'demonstrated the un-PC nature of the Feast.

God bless,

It's not any sort of "mark of respect"; he's said previously that he regards "Christ" as the given name of a false god.

I don't entirely understand that, because "Christ" is a title equivalent to the Hebrew "Moshiach", not a name, but so be it.
