This necklace is used for people who believe in Christianity, but I have seen it being used as a normal accessory and by people who aren’t Christian.
If I made a character wear it as a necklace, not as a symbol of religion, would that be wrong? If I make a character wear it as an accessory, and not in a mocking way, would it still be wrong? Would the character have to be Christian to wear it?
As a Christian, I wouldn’t really be angry about it, but it does kind of bother me when it’s just worn as an accessory by non believers. Mainly because of what the cross represents. I’d advise against it
I’m a Hindu by religion. I used to study in a Missionary school before and the sisters there gave me a cross necklace as shown above. They taught me all about Jesus and his teachings and how he taught us to be bound by a religion of love.
I still wear it occasionally to this day and till date, I’d have no problem from other Christians. I think people should see beyond the boundaries of religion. A religion isn’t defined by symbols, but by people’s good work and purity of soul.
I was Christian and one of your characters wearing the cross doesn’t bother me, but I think that I don’t have the right to say what you should or shouldn’t do — the keyword is “was”.
90% people in my country are Christians and many of them wear crosses even if they’re not very religious. I think it is all okay if it’s not mocking religion.
I am not regligios but christian. and dont care if you do or dont. we have a limit amound of things to use in the app. so people should stop complaining wether or not things are been used acorrect. they are not going around saying insults and mocking the stuff so I cant see the problem
Notice, some people can be offended easily when it comes to using cultural assets, so it really is good to ask whether to use it for good stuff but not trying to offend others. Just saying. Which I guess you may know or not know about it already.
true. i once got told on the internet it was inapropirate I wor a kimono. which I have gotten as a gift from a japaness friend of mine(we arent friends anymore for no reason other than we grew apart also dont have the kimono grew out of it)
oh wow, but I didn’t think it was inappropriate at all since you got a kimono from your friend but not going to talk about it since it’s kind of personal stuff, lol and not off topic.
as far I can see most Christians in her dont have a problem with it. there is always that one person who thinks something incident is a big deal. I know a lot of people who wear a cross is regligios at all
