While crosses now are just nothing more than fashion accessories, but in my mind, they are symbols of a religion, same as a Star of David, if someone who held no religious beliefs wore one, I'm not sure I'd be offended, but if I knew their religiousness, I might ask why they were wearing it.

A few weeks back, a young asian guy commented on the ring thatis on my finger, it's a claddagh ring. He joked that it looked just like his. Now that surprised me that someone without a drop of Celtic blood in them, would wear one, and he had no idea o f the symbolism behind the three symbols on the ring. He just liked how it looked. Didn't bother me too much I guess, I was just surprised.
