I was going to ask the same thing.

I also ask the same question. I don't know people who wear crosses that would say they are NOT a Christian. However, I do know non-Jews who wear the Star of David on a necklace.

I guess it COULD be an ornament, but I don't know anyone who wears it for that reason. It has strong symbolism to it - so I don't think MOST non-Christians WOULD wear it.

This example sounds absurd, but people do it all the time with other religions -- especially Eastern ones. Think of the way people wear Hindu symbols and the like. Buddhist paraphernalia. Etc. etc.

The cross as a religious icon pre-dates Christianity, so why not?

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
