Had it done to me twice in the Army and by people who are supposed to be our Allies. Then there was that fun little bit with the nutjob that shot his daughters boyfriend outside of work in the back of the head. Still lucky he didn't try and take more people out to make a getaway.
I am feeling spunky today so I found this and going to ask a few questions.
This Pastor says he has no weapons of death in his home, right. Does he not have a few crucifixes laying about somewhere, a symbol of torture and death ????
Why did Christians choose the cross instead of the Fish as we often see on the backs of cars to denote a Christian owner?
Jehovah Witnesses ask me why carry a symbol of torture and murder and not a symbol of his love and grace.
Had Jesus been killed by a sword would we all be wearing small swords as Jewelry ?
The very early Christians used the fish symbol in caves and places they gathered, I seriously do not think they would have wanted to place symbols of the death of Jesus about, they were more into how he saved Mankind with his teachings and how he was still among us in Spirit.
To me the symbol of the fish is a more powerful statement then a devise he was put to death on. Jesus was a fisherman of souls, I believe it is his life and teachings that need to be recognized and not the last hours of his life being tortured to death. Why remind us of his death and not of his life is beyond me.
Give me the FISH if I want to remember Jesus, not some devise of murder with Jesus hanging on it dead.
