Let me phrase the question a little differently as follows:

Is a person who wears a crucifix a member of the culture of death?

Okay. I get you.

I would say no. If you are wondering about the death of Christ being a focal point, the real message is about everlasting life.

Christ died on the cross, taking our sins upon Him, so as to intercede on our behalf. For those who believe in Him, we will leave all earthly things behind and join Him in Paradise.

The Bible is not a book which calls on us to kill others simply based on their beliefs. The Koran on the other hand, advocates this position aggressively.

Let me see if I've got this straight, are you somehow implying that the Crucifix, which is found in millions of churches and is worn by hundreds of millions of Christians somehow symbolizes the culture of death?
