The author, I recalled (and now, have found, thanks to your link),
says he did not come up with the name for that purpose:
"I thought it ironic that some of the same people who said "abort
isn't bad, it is just a word!," also followed it up with "Jesux is
bad, because it connotes 'Jesus sux' for some people." I actually had
no thought of "Jesus sux" when the name "Jesux" was first introduced
to me. It is just "Jesus" with an "x", just like "Linux" is "Linus"
with an "x". I suppose that if Linus' name were "Linsus" he might not
have used the name "Linsux."
I don't think I ever found Jesux as insulting so much as thought
provoking.
