The cross was a symbol of the crusades. A symbol of death to those who didn’t worship the word of the Roman church. (and sometimes to those who did) to many nordic pagans, its a reminder of times when people acting in the name of christ would burn people tied to oak trees, or would pour burning lead into their mouths, or force snakes down their throats.

The crusades were a harsh, wicked reaction to the benevolent missionary journeys of the peaceful loving muslim followers of the prophet mohamad. Many infidel European Christians wickedly resisted the loving peaceful invasion of the Religion of Peace (patent pending) and the rape and murder it included.

Sorry Sunshine. Without the muslim invasions there would have been no crusades.

So tell me, does the cross have power to disrupt your worship even if you remove it? I've had people walk their dogs on my land. They shouldn't have their dogs "foul" my land. Can you guess how I react? Do you think I declare jihad on all dog owners?. Oh hell no! I remove the feces with a shovel. That's the end of it.

It seems to me that I have an easier time dealing with dog feces than you have dealing with Christianity. Unless of course someone burned you on a tree, poured burning lead into your mouth or forced snakes down your throat. If that happened to you then you certainly have my sympathy! That would ruin my day, let me tell you!

In fact, that sounds an awful lot like the things done to early Christians by the pagan Romans.

More Alinsky?

I have never read Alinsky, but you keep saying my writing reflects it. I guess to know what it would look like you must have studied it.

Bravo!! That was one of the best posts I’ve ever read in one of these debates. My sentiments exactly!! Hit the nail on the head using both brevity and humor. That is why I love this place.
