the battleflag of dixie will forever be a symbol of PRIDE & VALOR to the vast majority of southerners/southrons, just as the CROSS will forever be a symbol of the SAVIOR to almost all Christians.

The cross (by which I assume you mean the Latin cross, not the Greek, fitchee, tau, Lorraine, fourchee, saltire, Iona, potent, chi-rho, patee, Maltese, patriarchal, or fylfot) has not always been the Christian symbol. The ichthus was used for the first few centuries of our era, and has been enjoying a resurgence of popularity in recent years as a symbol of the Savior.

i won't argue that over the centuries there have been MORE than one Christian symbol, but the CROSS in its various forms has almost always been associated with Jesus & Christianity.
