Just the picture of it? Wearing it? Having it in your place of worship?
What are your thoughts?

No of course not - it's an idol if it's used in worship.
(EXODUS 20:4,5)
We are warned about using images in worship.
Check the Scripture

it helps me tremendously when things are getting rough at work, driving, at home with family when i want to scream and shout, get angry and resentful. it reminds me that no matter what is happening, no matter how horrible i feel or even how lonely and alone i feel -- Christ is always with me and He went through a lot more than i ever have and ever will (God willing).
and the Cross is not an idol being worshipped - it's a continual reminder of Christ's sacrifice for you and I. the one i wear also reminds me that when i'm in the presence of others i need to act as Christ taught because too often I am weak. if i act negatively and wear my symbol of Christianity, what will others, especially non-Christians think - will I be bringing them closer to Christ or pushing them away?!

Well I have a cross right new too the door of my room and before I leave the house I do the sign of the cross, and ask god too bring me back home.
I don't know but it's been customary for me now, then again, I was raised in a really religious home.

The cross is a symbol of the great love of Christ, and the suffering he went through for humanity.
I'm catholic...and we love images! I have a cross on my neck, two on my wall, and a crucifix above my door. People don't worship it, but when you see a cross....you never forget.
The images, such as a cross, remind us of the sacrifice and love of Jesus Christ.

Well, if you sharpen the points, and learn to throw it just right, it makes an acceptable alternative to a Chinese throwing star...

The cross reminds me of God's grace and mercy to me which is all sufficient.

I find it offensive.
I see it as a lie and an insult to Jesus.
Love and blessings
