OMG!

That is ‘Oh My Gosh’ just in case anyone is offended by ‘me’ using his name in vain.  But then, why not.  It seems we can hardly put a foot right these days.  Or is that mouth?  Not sure, but I do know things are getting really, really silly.

All across the Internet these days, Atheists are being hounded left, right and center.  Of course you know that, but I’m talking about one specific reason.  Writing in shorthand has become a part of the Internet and phone messaging, but if you dare to write ‘xtian’ then be ready with your asbestos underwear.  You are gonna fry my friends.

Nicked, stolen and otherwise copy/pasted from: here.

Never missing an opportunity to educate the undereducated I explained that the term “Xtian” is based on the Greek word “Christos” which starts with the letter Chi which is written with the letter X. The abbreviation “Xtian” goes back to the 16th century, and was common usage. I also confirmed that while I had no respect for his Imaginary Friend, had as much fear of it as I have for a Stephen King villian, and could care less about defiling his religion or belittling his fellow religionists — the use of Xtian is not in and of itself an insult. In keeping with my characteristic modus operandi I believe I ended the lesson with the phrase “You witless fundie Xtian retard!” I feel badly about that now. In the future I will refine it, bring it up to code, by replacing the term “retard” with “special needs person,” although it loses something in the translation

Well, what can I say.  If you have upgraded to a new word then I’m happy for you.  But once you are done with the old one, it’s up for grabs.  Or are we on the road to the whole vocabulary being copyrighted into the past never to be used again?  Get a grip.  They are words people, not swords.  Stop using them as such and there can be more love in the world.  Oh, hold on, that’s right.  You don’t love us anyway do you.  You can’t.  No, sorry, you’re not allowed to.

So it seems it comes down to this:

We can’t call you Xtians,

but

You can call us Godless (not really an insult but used as if it was), Heathens, the Irreligious, Hell Bound Non-Believer, Fool, Baby Muncher (didn’t know we ate children did you), Blasphemer, Christ Killers, Son of a Monkey, Simian Descended (not that any self respecting evolutionist would mind this one), Infidel, Those Devil-Infested Heathens, etc.

You give me more and I’ll add them to the list.
