"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor. 1:18
I have five crosses and crucifixes hanging right here in my office. They are points of remembrance and recollection.

To sum it up in a nutshell I have noticed two main reasons behind this:
1 the sign of the cross is a graven image.
2 the cross is an obscene symbol which represents murder.
on a side note: the cross is actually borrowed from pagan practices and was not considered christian until around 400 AD

Maybe it would be better to ask why you use the sign of the cross. It basically boils down to it being a tradition and a symbol that you attach certain meanings to, that is not used in other places, and there is no Biblical significance to it.

A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a ******* cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant.”

some people do not believe about the crucifiction and resuurection etc. some people don't use it because jesus rose from the dead.
i wear a cross necklace as a sign that jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day.
Satanists use an upside down cross to disrespect god

Too many people believe there is power in a cross,The catholics have it for protection and use it while praying.People think the cross has special powers, they should just be trusting in Jesus to protect them.A cross is like an idol.

In the immortal words of Bill Hicks:
"Do you think when Jesus comes back he really wants to see a cross? That is kind of like wearing a rifle pendant to commemorate JFK."

Does it say anywhere in the bible that people should do/exercise the sign of the cross?
All christian denominations believe in the bible, and their religion comes from what interpretation they gave to it.
