^ Those crosses everywhere...

I have Christian faith and I don't think our Lord would like it.
He would ask - why torturing yourselves, you all morons?

The cross is a torture instrument. We should change it for some more positive symbol to embody genuine faith.

I discussed this with some French Protestants a couple of times (my rebellious Catholic mom has a bit of some connection to them).
They share this personal point of mine. For example, we won't convince the Muslims if we show up with that sadistic cross.
What do you think, people?
That's all I know.

Sorry for the poor quality, but they're not too bad for being taken from a moving CTrain.
