Okay, I went to my school's vollyball game today and this kid comes up and steals my hat. He was wearing cross around his neck too! I had to get a cop to chase him down, "nobody is getting my hat." Later. this same kid was grabbing at girl's breats. Does wearing a cross let him do this? I wouldn't know. I know nothing about religion!
After he was done grabbing I asked him if his church encourages being a thief and sexual harrassment to teens. He didn't answer.

Wearing a cross does not mean that he is a Christian or any sort of believer. It sounds like he's a bit troubled and is seeking attention.

Don't mistake jewlery for a religious afiliation, as you can buy a corss virtually anywhere from Wal-Mart to an actualy Jewlery store depending on how much you want to spend.
Wearing a cross does not make one a Christian just as wearing a turban doesn't make one an Arab or an Indian.
Sadly, the person you describe was just another teenage jerk. Let's hope he grows out of it (if he lives that long.)

Wearing a cross doesn't signify the good character of the person, it signifies the sacrifice Christ made for that person, and every other. Your question probably convicted him, in a sense. No church would encourage that type of behavior...none that I know of anyway.

Some people are insane, but we all have one disability in common. Theologians call it the moral depravity of man. The human software is corrupt and the kid you observed is no different from you or I in that respect. The only difference is that he actually acted on it.

Normal. Cross or not, he's a teen filled with male aggression and doesn't know how to outlet it in a positive manner.

Grow up it is a style of fashion and has nothing to do with the Cross.
You insult your own intelligence with such a post.
