Should we also abandon cross? So many people died during the Crusades
- whatshisface 9y agoQuite a few people died on the crosses themselves, including one very well-remembered.
- krapp 9y agoTo be perfectly fair, though... it is a morbid symbol. Had the Romans been fond of hanging, Christians might be walking around wearing nooses around their necks.
- jstarfish 9y agoThe cross is a sign of solidarity for supporters of one particular person who died on it, not as a sign of solidarity for the people who put him on it.
- pound 9y agoSimilar things can be said about swastika, it's not a sign of solidarity with the people who were killing others during the war
