I associate the cross with the crucifixion of Christ. But there is one thing that can not be denied by Christian nor non-Christian. The cross was used as a medium of death long before the birth of Jesus. I don't believe the Romans used it as a secular symbol of death. It simply was a cruel and painful means of killing someone. Even when Jesus was nailed to one that was the Roman's purpose. They did not crucify him on two logs crossed over each other and attached together by rope or nails because it would be making a religious symbol. It was the equivalent of today's lethal needle or electric chair. One exception: today man generally uses his tools of execution to hasten the moment of death. But whatever method is used, there is no Christian symbology intended; nor is there a secular symbology. I am a Christian. I associate the cross with the crucifixion of Christ.

Hi HR,

The crucifix is a Christian symbol that is based on the deceptive recasting of the ancient wisdom symbol, the cross. The cross, for thousands of years before Christianity’s lies, symbolized the four elements and that is something that Rome has tried to bury throughout most of its history. There is a very important reason for this, since the proper understanding of the ancient wisdom symbology of North Africa (Egypt, Nubia, etc.) completely disproves the Christian fantasy.

Follow these two URLs to truly understand the lies and deceptions. They are both long “open letters,” but I think that after reading both of them, you’ll have a much better understanding of the hogwash they purvey.

Please be patient with my assertions and long letters and (hopefully) I’ll surprise and enlighten you.

Peace and Wisdom…

THEN it could be a secular symbol. Maybe. or not. Let’s return to our pagan past and reclaim the cross for its original purpose – putting criminals to death. THEN it could be a secular symbol.
