That was TOTALLY uncalled for!
If they said that about Muhammad, his psychotic devotees would burn down New York City.
"*Commenters have politely alerted me that a crucifix is a cross with a representation of that guy -- what's his name again? -- attached. ... That was TOTALLY uncalled for!"
It's worthwhile to make the distinction, which amazingly so few people understand. The plain cross is different than a Crucifix which is a cross with a Corpus (Latin for body) upon it.
In protestant churches there's a cross, although nowadays sometimes no religious symbol at all. In Catholic churches (if they are following the rubrics) a Crucifix is displayed. This is essential becuase of the theology of Redemption by the Son of God.
Christians of many faiths, as well as rappers, Madonna and others, wear crosses. It should be a private symbol of devotion, not decoration, and some argue it's a form of sacrilege to wear in a flashy or overly obvious manner.
As for Hillary, when she comes out pro-life, we'll know that cross is sincere.
