I agree with you on the hierarchy of who made whom in the mythos, but I disagree with you on the idea that God and the Devil are not seen as opposing powers. Perhaps its a denominational thing, my most primary and deep experience has been confined to popular Southern denominations and tenets.
You're assuming a tad that the X in Xian is a negative or nothingness element. X is also Chi as in Chi Ro, the Greek letters for CHR in Christ. I often write Xmas too, but that does bother some people anyway.
However I use it also as a means to create a conscious distance between the word and its associations, not to piss off Christians, but to add a layer of separation between the belief system /social construct and my thoughts - because frankly I don't want to be seen as one. I don't want to be seen as an adherent of any religion, because I'm not. I have a long and unhappy relationship with religion, including Christianity (I'm using the long form solely for your comfort in this instance).
I think its really reaching to equate X with "fag", but I can't help how you feel on the subject besides to say I like you for you, not for your religious views.
