That, in addition to the fact that it's funny to watch/listen to people mispronounce "Christ" with a short "i" sound, as if to say "Crystal" without the "ull" sound. I assume most people do this simply to avoid saying "Christ", thinking that I might be offended at a mispronunciation of my surname.

Either way, Christ. It's simple. And it's never taken.
somehow, this is what I figured your handle ment, and not religiously intended. then again, I know plenty of chris'
