You're chatting with a stranger who's wearing a cross. Which of the following is more offensive?

[Boojatta]

[DS1]

1. Could not care less

[grannylib]

2. I don't often wear crosses, but I am a Christian; I find neither offensive

although I guess I'd be sad if someone DIDN'T want to mention biology to me, thinking I'm some fundie wacko anti-science looney or something.

I've never understood why some people have such a hard time fitting science into their notion of God, or vice versa.

[YOY]

3. What is offensive is assuming they are some anti-science fundie because of the cross

n/t

[Boojatta]

4. If you buy a fire extinguisher today then

are you assuming that there will be a fire before tomorrow evening? Why not wait until tomorrow to buy the fire extinguisher?

[YOY]

8. Poor comparison and not involving passing judgement on your fellow man/woman.

n/t

[stellanoir]

5. The cross is emblematic of a torture device and capital punishment.

I wish more were circled like the Celtic cross.

Symbolically that represents the cross of matter surrounded by the circle of spirit.

It has far more flow to it.

:hide:

6. Asking them if it really does keep vampires away. NT

[TlalocW]

7. Asking them what the "T" stands for

:)

9. Assume the person is an adult and talk about the documentary.

If they cannot deal with it, then they are not adults, after all.

10. Kellogg's may appreciate your rhetoric, but I do not.

:D

[TZ]

12. lol!

good one varkham er..varkam...;)

[varkam]

13. Hey now! Don't you start.

:spank:

[smoogatz]

11. How is the stranger wearing it? Around his neck on a slender chain, or

nailed to his hands and feet? If the latter, it might be hard to have a casual conversation about much of anything, assuming it's not related to calling 911.
