TPMMuckraker | Talking Points Memo | Blackwater Is Dead! Long Live … Xe?.

One of the comments:

Well in Greek iconography "XE" or "XC" is a common abbreviation for Christ. IE|XE NI|KA written above and below on the Greek cross means "Jesus (IE) Christ (XE) conquers (NIKA). Who knows if this the real meaning but American fundamentalist Christians see themselves as returning to the true practice of Christianity before it was perverted by the churchmen. They have adopted many ancient and now obscure Christian symbols like the Christian fish to reflect their fidelity with ancient Christianity and their status as persecuted saints in pagan society.

A simple Google search confirms that “XE” is sort of an esoteric reference to “Christ Everlasting.”

Great. So now instead of being a band of secretly-fundamentalist private mercenaries, they’re a band of openly fundamentalist private mercenaries. Why didn’t they just call themselves the Xrusaders?
