I'm agnostic, buddhist, unitarian, christian, hindu, muslim....does that count? I wouldn't wear one however I am not opposed to one. I am not appalled or in fear of a cross either. It is an old symbol used before christianity. I view the cross as a good symbol because it means making a continual transformation for the good (in my own mind).

when someone wears a cross, i don't get offended, but, from my perspective, i think it's weird. i mean, if someone you loved was shot with a handgun, would you wear a glock symbol around your neck? also, i think people need to focus more on how jesus lived, not how he died.

(prefatory disclaimer: I am an atheist)
Generally speaking I try to avoid getting up on them, but sometimes duty calls and I just have to haul myself up there again.
I'm not a "jewelry person," so I wouldn't wear a cross.

LOL: bigdreux, did you get that reasoning from the Live Forever book?
Not that it matters either way, I'm agnostic and religious symbols mean nothing to me.

Why would an atheist wear one?
Crosses don't bother me, it's the WWJD pendants that make my blood boil. The people that wear them are usually the most un-Christ-like people.
BTW, renee, you misspelled atheist, was that intentionally?

changeling, that may have come from the wts, i've thought that way for a long time, but, even if it did come from them, it makes sense to me. i honestly don't know where it came from.

I will wear one till the day I die, well I have a tattoo of a cross on my arm, but I have a crucifix over my front door, bedroom doors, and a cross from the Holy land in the living room, another one from Ireland in the dining room, I have a rosary hanging from the rear view mirror in my car, um several crosses that I sometimes wear.
