when you wear it you're identifying yourself to others as a christian, like it or not. when you do or say things that are unbecoming of christian ideals... you're being unfair to christians by projecting yourself as one of them.
i am a christian and i do wear a cross. however, i always wear it out of sight... i'm shamed to have it hanging on my neck when i do/say things i should not.

When a person wears a cross, it doesn't mean they are pure Christian. It can represent the death of a family member OR be a symbol of Faith (In Anything). It's very unfair to say it only represents one thing: Christianity.
A friend of mine and I discussed this earlier today, she wears a crystal and silver cross. She wears hers as a reminder that while she is here on earth she is to strive, struggle, work hard and succeed. The cross, to her, represents her death/rebirth (to learn more lessons; reincarnation).
