I understand the concept that the religion part of Christianity (and esp Catholicism) is about the sacrifice, not just the philosophy, so I get the crucifix thing, though as a non-believer it does also creep me out.
Makes me think of that Bill Hicks routine:
Quote:
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back, he's gonna wanna see a cross? Maybe that's why he hasn't shown up yet. "****! They're still wearing crosses. When they start wearing fishes I'll go back, this is ridiculous. They've entirely missed the meaning of this thing."
It's like going up to one of the Kennedy clan with a rifle pendant on. "Just thinking of president John F. Kennedy, your uncle. We love him."
