They should have stuck with the fishes, much less divisive.

As Bill hicks said 'If jesus came back the last thing he'd want to see is a crucifix'

I have never, nor will I ever, understand this. To wear a murder weapon around your neck and believe it makes you closer to your god? Freaky.

I also never understood why so many religious folk purport that crucifixion was such a unique way for the J-Man to die. It was common practice, so he wasn't special in the regard either.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

True that... /doh

I think it is a combination of all of the factors... but in any case: referring to a torture device as a holy symbol is just plain retarded Tongue

Still a wrong statement, but better. Water will not carry oxygen. In fact, adding in water to someone who has suffered from intensive blood loss can give them water toxicity - it must be very carefully moderated. Thats why we give plasma, because those that little bit of proteins and miscellaneous electrolytes keep the system stable. Still does not compensate for the ensuing asphyxia.

Agreed. Wearing the symbol of ones god, like Thor, makes a little bit more sense. Only because he whacked giants with his hammer (Wow - that sounded sexual. Dodgy ).
