Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think the measure of appropriateness is up to you.

I wear a cross even though I'm a Pagan, and my reasoning is that I do believe there was a man named Jesus who was a visionary, and he has been greatly misunderstood and misquoted. I spent a lot of time studying him. I wear it to honor a revolutionary who was lost in editing.

No one actually places any meaning on the crucifix anymore. Most "Christians" wear it because their pious grandmothers gave it to them, not because they believe.

Excuse me? I honestly don't want to turn this into a massive religious debate but that was a pretty reckless comment. Regardless of how you may feel, it's inappropriate to make an insulting generalization like that.

the cross riginally is a symbolism of human, and it was also symbolizing jesus, although most do not use those for a crucifix. i am aetheist, and i bought a new one today! i were it for it symbolizes something to ME. if you loike, by all means, buy it.

neutral Took a lot of research to learn that, eh?

I am pagan, and I own a rosary. I will admit a certian amount of it is that is looks cool, but part of it is respect for the figure it represents. Jesus was a pretty cool guy.
Growing up, my family did celebrate the eight sabbats, but we also went to a Catholic church in town. I liked it. It was a pretty building with nice windows where they'd tell us these cool old stories. I think that's why we went. I really liked standing in a row with my sisters in their pretty dresses and me in my little suit. I think that was the first time I wore a top hat. My sisters made fun of it.
I never really thought about it. They said "god", and I thought they meant the lord (horned one, male aspect of divinity, what have you) for about eight years. I figured, since most of the pagan-type rituals focused on the lady, that part of the sharing of aspects was the lord had the tamer, calmer parts of religon, like sitting in a nice building with pretty windows in attractive clothing listening to stories; and the lady had the standing in a grove of trees in a robe with slightly wilder singing. Knowing my parents, the attributes split that way made perfect sense.
I mean, wine and cakes, this is the blood this is the body all that, they can seem really similar to a young boy.

It only occurs to me now, we weren't exactly in the "broom closet", as it were, we drank to the gods, and we went to church. It was about five minutes from our house. It was nice.

Well, there went the topic, sorry about that. sweatdrop I got nostolgic. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if one is eceletic, why not have Jesus in there with Diana and Quetzequatl? I'm sure he won't mind.
His father might, but that's something else entirely.

Crosses look great, I have several necklaces with crosses on them and I'm the biggest atheist I know. Go for it!
