"Xtian" = shorthand for "Christian", same as
"Xmas" = shorthand for "Christmas",
at least as I've always heard it and used it.
and it's somewhat disrespectful shorthand, some would say....

The X cross symbolism crossed my mind
I did not know about the Chi Greek letter for Christ either.
But I have a morbid infatuation with

I am tempted to google
Cause I sure would like to know if what I just said makes any sense.
If you are studying to be an archeologist you better dam sure make sure you know how to run a chi square equation on a pile of pottery shards.

Williams Jennings Bryan wrote his speech about mankind crucified on a cross of gold.
Pottery shards was only the beginning of my crucifixion
I remember the night of an alternative reality coming crashing down in a classroom of the anthropology building on the university of Maryland campus in college park Maryland
It was brown mescaline powder and a course called Statistics for the Behavioral sciences that popped the bubble of my twelve-year college career as a sophomore
When it dawned on me I could not handle the truth. That the only reality I would ever have was statistical.
Pity I had finally decided on a major
When the world flips
And you find yourself standing on your head in the southern hemisphere
and your feet on the ground in the northern.
Like seeing a locomotive upside down.
I just walked away cause I could not handle so much truth.
Like seeing through concrete
Ja JA Chi Square
It blew my mind.
Oiy, look who is kvethcing now
