Whatever she was fired for. Then blabbing to the press to try to get something going out of it. Why did she tell the press she was fired for wearing the pin?

"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.

How about us Christians treating others with respect without expecting something in return.

Oh ... like homo is a derogatory term for homosexual ... I once used that abbreviation and another poster clued me in that it was derogatory. I promptly apologize because that wasn't my intention to insult anyone. Maybe Chiegirl can show us the same courtesy.

Yes and this is the reason why I am put off by most Christians and their attitude. Their belief that their religion is the only right one and the only way.

I wish they were more loving and accepting as they claim to be.

It is not derogatory and has been used, even in xian sects, since the 13th century.

Wow - you ant-Xians are sure showing yourselves to be willfully ignorant of the original article, and all to eager to jump to conclusions!

So tell me - FROM THE ARTICLE - what was this lady fired for?
