Hey guys!

i really really like crosses-necklaces, earrings, rings, tshirts, anything cross-related! but i'm not religious and some of my religious friends said that i shouldn't wear them because i don't believe in god. then on the other hand, some of my other non religious friends that i should wear them! so i do wear them because i really like crosses (as a fashion statement, not a religious one)/

but that got me thinking about how something can take over another thing completely, a symbol, for example. The cross was a symbol way before Christianity, but after Jesus was crucified on a cross, its become a religious sign. Also in Hinduism, the swastika was a symbol of Ganesh (one of their Gods) but now whenever you see a swastika you automatically link it with the Nazis. (the Nazi swastika is tilted, so they are slightly different)

but you get my point!
