... I do hold the LDS thought on the cross: there is no reason to wrap around a symbol of death, asking if Christ were executed today, would we be wearing syringes or little electric chairs, or rifles? So I don't wear one, but I don't fault anyone else who wears does. I do note it and watch to see it's jewelry/dog whistle or a commitment to being a christian. You know: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, educating the young in truthful and factual methods, comforting the imprisoned, treating others as we would be treated ourselves. Don't lock us up in one stripe.
