God Conquers Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 What does a nail say to a non-religious person? Nothing. I seen plenty of wierdos wearing nails for non-religious reasons. It could NEVER replace the crucifix. If you want to make a religious statement with a nail, wear it through your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX2 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 lol like nails through noses and ears and tounges. Oh yes, i see much of that at my school. Then again, i see alot of people wearin crosses for non religous reasons too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenita Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I saw a review of The Passion on TV in the UK last night - the film is not due to open over here until the end of March. They were saying that it's likely to be a 'blockbuster' and as a result the ONLY 'jewellery' to be seen wearing at the Oscars this year would be nails. I couldn't believe it.......I found it really offensive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeful1 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 lol like nails through noses and ears and tounges. Oh yes, i see much of that at my school. Then again, i see alot of people wearin crosses for non religous reasons too.... that's why i prefer a crucifix over the cross, because the cross by itself is too secularized. Just walk into any clares or any of those type stores and its become reduced to a fashion statement than a symbol of faith. but then again i'm the biggest hypocrite b/c when i was confirmed at 15 my sponser took me shopping to get a crucifix for my necklace but i picked out a cross instead cuz it was prettier. but that was four years ago and i didn;t know any better. I still like my cross tho and i wear it everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The crucifix image has lasted 2000 years. Why stop now? and as a random side note, Thomas, when you wrote POTC for Passion of the Christ I at first thought you meant Pirates of the Caribbean. My bad. :rolling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth flame Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 when i was confirmed at 15 my sponser took me shopping to get a crucifix for my necklace but i picked out a cross instead cuz it was prettier. i've done the same thing. I got my first cross (which incidentally was made of three nails) because i thought it looked snazzy. I didn't have the right intention behind buying it in the first place. i just thought it looked cool. now i have a crucifix that means more to me personally b/c i can clearly see the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on it, rather than on the cross i own. It's two different versions of symbolizm, i guess... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsFrozen Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I like the symbolism of the nail, but I like the crucifix even better. God bless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
