A Small Thing To Some, More Important To Me: The Difference Between Good And Evil

A reader who recently liked a post uses a symbol. It is a circle with a cross inside.

Top: The cross has all lengths equal, the symbol of white nationalists or supremacists; Bottom: This is the same cross broken to its true meaning. However, this version is oddly also a symbol of elections in India and the squared swastika, before being taken by the Nazi party before WWII, originally went back to many cultures and was always a sign meaning peace and good health, good fortune.
Above: Two Catholic Celtic crosses. Used as early as 9th century; thought to be (by some) as a catholic cross laid atop the sun disc to demonstrate the supreme power of the Christian God over the pagan sun god. In legend, St. Patrick himself, evangelizing in Ireland, did this demonstration to prove this point. Whatever its origin, it is not a pagan cross. The arms, head and foot of the cross extend well beyond the circle, the bottom always longer than the rest, and in both Ireland and England is often engraved with the Irish lace pattern. This is unmistakable as a Christian symbol and is popular around the world.

If you use the top symbols, be aware of what they mean and please change your icon, header image or anything else used to identify your site, your social media image and anything you have used it for. This is not the time for controversial things that will only make matters worse.

If you hide behind Chist as a justification for racial and gender hatred or discrimination, please have the common decency to show yourself. Betcha you won’t. You’re probably even using a VPN. The government of the United States and other countries can find you. You’ll be added to a database of known terrorist organizations. You will not like it.

Every keyword in their DBase will see every word you write.

In your defense, may I suggest you pay attention to my posts and follow what I have been and what I am now. Not hateful. No. Not bitter. Fewer regrets. Far less shame and the strongest faith in God I have ever known. Turn to God, apologize for your past actions, believe that you’re one of the many whose sins were paid for on the cross outside of Jerusalem two millenia past. Let that man, Jesus the resurrect, be your new guide to what’s right.
