It can be used that way in a gothic sense. On the other hand, my Mom is actually very religious in a literal sense, she interprets the cross as a pagan symbol and thinks it is wrong to wear a cross around your neck, display a cross. It can mean different things to different people. The intolerant, close minded person below me likely gave me the thumbs down. Can it not mean different things to different people, do we not agree the cross has a pagan meaning, along with other roots in Catholicism, for one?

well, thats a different perspective. Im just a non practicing catholic. from what i know, youre theory will prob be frowned upon by many people, but for what its worth, i believe everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, and whos to say ur right or wrong! personally i find love in the cross, but that doesnt mean thats right for you.

NO! It was a part of the plan. Without him dying we would not have the opportunity for eternal salvation. the cross represents our sins being paid for.

No...because it symbolizes him sacrificing his life for the people of the world. (And to BlueGirl, it wouldn't be in a gothic sense. An upside-down cross is a Satanic symbol, just to clear that up.)

No, because Christians celebrate his death, because he died to save his followers. The Lord said that there cannot be forgiveness of sins without shedding of blood, and that's why he sent His son to earth to die for his followers. So christians are grateful and praise Him for His death.

I wish I had a kryptonite cross because then I could keep Superman and Dracula away.

The cross was used for torture.
I already thought it was evil.

the catholic church took the death of jesus christ in a different light... took it the positive way... that he saved us from our sins... our salvation.... the cross, became a symbol of our salvation..
