TPAM's avatar has a cross between the letter "P" and an asterisk.

TPAM should know that the symbol above me is a Chi-Rho: the first two letters in "Christ" in the Greek alphabet, originally spelled: Χριστός.

Chi: Χχ

Rho: Ρρ

so it is Greek.. interesting..

Noname · **Reply #1050 on:** June 07, 2009, 08:08:07 PM

I see it just about every Sunday... I wanted something a bit less obvious than a cross or crucifix.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #1051 on:** June 07, 2009, 09:48:34 PM

TPAM knows Greek, then. Right?

Noname · **Reply #1052 on:** June 07, 2009, 10:13:51 PM

No, TPAM should know that a Chi-Rho is a common Christian symbol; no knowledge of Greek is needed, really.

Myrkin · **Reply #1053 on:** June 08, 2009, 01:32:28 AM

TPAM is Christian.

Noname · **Reply #1054 on:** June 08, 2009, 01:39:09 AM

TPAM has 17.3 posts per day as of today.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #1055 on:** June 08, 2009, 02:05:39 AM

TPAM looked at TPATPAM's profile to get that statistic.

Noname · **Reply #1056 on:** June 08, 2009, 02:14:48 AM

TPAM knows that I would have no other way of doing that, unless I asked TPATPM that in a PM, but that would be a waste of time, to trouble someone for a piece of information that I am perfectly capable of seeing for myself.

Amaranthine · **Reply #1057 on:** June 08, 2009, 02:58:40 AM

I guess TPAM would resent any comments from other people saying that most, if not all, of the Christian symbols and holidays came from pagan beliefs.

Noname · **Reply #1058 on:** June 08, 2009, 01:25:18 PM

TPAM should know that that is mostly not true; that is an idea held mostly by revisionists and radicals. Most symbols were made themselves, and only a handful were repurposed from pre-existing beliefs. The Ichthys, the Triquetra and a couple of barely-used symbols (the phoenix, the tree of life, etc) come from either pagan or Jewish traditions, but the cross, crucifix, icons, the lamb, the alpha and omega, the "IHS", and the "keys" are originally Christian.

As for the Chi-Rho, it was used to mark important passages in pagan texts, but it was an essentially secular symbol until Christians repurposed it. As for the Chalice... it is Christian, but Wiccas and Neo-Pagans are trying to re-purpose IT, mostly without success.

There is a whole site full of Christian symbolism, and most of the symbols there are either original to Christianity, or are from Judaism. It even says which ones are pagan, and there are not that many. Take a look: http://home.att.net/~wegast/symbols/symbolsc/symbolsc.html

Amaranthine · **Reply #1059 on:** June 08, 2009, 04:49:50 PM

It could be because I studied Paganism more then Christianity, but I don't know, I'm a bit skeptical about what you are saying TPAM. I consider myself a Christian, but yeah...
