"Xian" is a derogatory term used by people who hate Christians. People who refuse to treat Christians with the same respect with which they demand Christian treat them. It's pretty simple really.
And the common denominator is that they'll all deny it.
Hope you got a dictionary for Xmas!!!
First, that little problem with blasphemous and now X.

At least three folks on here considers it derogatory. Xmas and Xians - what does the X substitute for? Christ, who is the center of Christianity. As a Christian, I find it offensive just as homosexuals find the term homo offensive.

employees are allowed to wish customers a merry christmas..
are they allowed to wear buttons that wish customers a merry christmas?
Is reminding people that 'jesus is the reason for the season' the same as wishing people a merry christmas?
is stating "it's called christmas for christ's sake" the same as a reminder that jesus is the reason for the season?
Personally ... I think it was in bad taste to wear the pin and if she was belligerant about removing it, then she could be fired for insubordination. I do think that some Christians do go overboard with the war on Christmas but we are SO sick and tired of people mocking our beliefs and telling US what we CAN or CAN'T say in the public square (although Lowes can censor as it is a private entity). The 1st Amendment guarentees us freedom of religion NOT freedom FROM religion.
