I suppose that this is a bit of a rant, but I think it needs to be said. To be blunt, I'm not liking this new hipster Christian cross themed stuff. Don't get me wrong, as a Christian myself, I love the fact that I can walk into an average clothes shop and buy things with crosses on and show off my faith a bit. However, there is still stuff that annoys me.
One thing that majorly frustrates me, it's not the rosary beads, Jesus bands, cross pendants, clothes and accesories all like this with Christian symbolism. It's the people wander around wearing this stuff when they're not actually Christian and don't believe in God, so why on earth would you want to wear a symbol of Jesus' love for you?
I detest the fact that some designs are basically making fun of my religion. I would normally just see it as its their choice to wear what they like but with so many designs being so anti-Christian is ridiculous! I saw a top with an upside-down cross inside a pentagram (witch-craft dissing the symbolism), a top that said 'Wasted Effort' with the T in wasted being a cross (hinting its a waste of effort being Christian) and I saw one top today where there was a cross that was on fire with bullet holes in it (killing the symbol completely).
Yes I understand that if you can buy Christian stuff, you should be able to buy anti-Christian stuff, but I never see anything being disrespectful to other religions (mainly because there would be a riot about it) but it hurts to see people happily wandering around with tops that are so disrespectful of other people's faiths.
End rant.
