Thanks for posting the videos. | No. It is shorthand. The letter X represents the word Christ because it's an abbreviation of the word Christ in Greek. Christos=Χριστος
Spread the word, b/c there are a lot of people who think that  | Thanks for the info.
However, regardless of the original propriety of it, I see it done often as a means of demeaning Christ's name. That is, because people think of it that way, they do it that way intentionally! This is of course done by nonbelievers, as I have seen it done on atheist message boards.
Would it be funnier if I informed them that it's not demeaning at all, then?  | That's exactly why I think we should spread the word--plus to end ignorance
