The Rebbe Speaks About Abortion and "Family Planning"
Shlomo:
It is completely acceptable on this forum to write the word "Christian". I am not a Christian and I still spell it out. It is common knowledge that there are Jews on this forum who do not accept Jesus as the Messiah but it's what they are called. Calling them X-tians is rather offensive to them and understandably so. Let's just call them Christians.
We don't even call muslims "X-slims"... though maybe we should. :)

That the term "Christian" be used instead.

I just spoke to a ruling Rabbi about this. Everyone should know it is o.k. to use the word "Chritianity". So I guess you should so as not to offend our posters. When it comes to "X-mas" that's a bit of a different story. Speak to me in private.
Shlomo:
Thank you for looking into this, lulab. I was just about to reply to your message.

ftf finds it offensive though.
