Answer 1

The cross did not kill Jesus... I never heard of anyone loving the cross. I have heard of people loving the SYMBOLISM of the cross. I think you are not naive or insensitive. I think you are looking for an argument and with that being said Darren ended it perfectly. Peace out.

Answer 2

Truth be told, it was the Romans who executed Christ (as the Gospels tell it) not the Jews. Crucifixion was a common punishment by the Pagan Romans. Many thousands were killed this way.

The Cross represents Jesus’ sacrifice and his subsequent Resurrection, a powerful symbol of the primary tenet of Christian beliefs.

To my atheist eyes, it’s a bit disturbing to display a cruel Pagan murder device as a holy symbol, but to each their own.

To anyone calling themselves Christian who hates Jews (for whatever reason) check yourself, this is not what Jesus taught.

Answer 3

First all , we are allowed to believe the way we want it's freedom of religion .

Second all, we are all allowed to believe in any religion and shouldn't be judged , if one wants to be atheist than let them do so.

Third all, you believe how you want to and or whatever Gods you want pray to and I will stick with mine .

Peace Out ,

I Rest My Case

Answer 4

It is not that people love the cross as they love Jesus for his sacrifice, which is symbolized by the cross. No one with any sense 5hinks the Jews killed Jesus. As Don B already stated, it was the Roman's who executed Jesus. And Jesus was a Jew. So to hate the Jews would be to hate Jesus.
