Actually I have to ask, in the question about being disgusted at a crucifix... are you intentionally singling out Judeo Christian belief or do you actually truly believe the crucifix to be the all encompassing sign of religion across the world?

Either way its incredibly small minded.

Or, has the topic-starter confused the cross with the crucifix? That happens often.

I like crucifixes, they're quite artistic. They're why I like visiting people who have devout Catholic families--crucifixes everywhere. One house had a crucifix over every light-switch, it was marvelous.
