Just for clarification: you think the same about a bare cross?
The bare cross isn’t AS offensive to me and in places where a symbol is needed, I prefer an empty cross, but I would equally question a person who worshiped an empty cross.
The life, death and purpose of Jesus can not be contained on that cross.
And just as a side note, the star of David is annoying to me as well, for the same reasons as a crucifix bothers me.
I study a Messianic( baptist) interpertation, and I equally reject the Star of David as a symbol of my faith.
I read somewhere, where someone was blogging about their trip to Jerusalem, and this person’s observation that the early church did not use a cross, but a flower, as a symbol of their belief in Jesus.
I think there is something to learn there.
