XMin was too offensive

I floated XMin on Reddit the other day. Here is the logo I've been using:

Check out this comment (which I think is entirely serious):
Their logo for Christian minimalism is a fucking cross!?

As a Christian I am offended by anyone symbolizing Christ with a tool of death. Only in a select few texts does Christ get crucified. There is no evidence that these particular texts are in any way true (unless your evidence is that a rich oligarchy compiled them into the Bible).

I believe it is most likely that Christ did not die on the cross, but one of the many people impersonating him did. Impersonation is one of the main explanations used by modern churches for biblical texts that aren't in the Bible. However, it is also an explanation to many of the texts that are IN the Bible.

Just because I follow the example of Christ does not mean I follow the cross-bearing corporations trying to make money off him.
Sorry! All better now:

seems to me there is no need to apologize to this bizarre commenter, nor to "fix" the cross - the cross, in fact, is what does the fixing.

You changed the logo of your entire faith because of something someone posted on Reddit.

Weak sauce. It's not even a logo anymore.
