Do any of you Christians wear any type of Christian symbol/image on you, such as Christian tattoos, Christian jewelry (cross, crucifix, head of Christ, Virgin Mary, etc.?

I find it interesting there are a number of Musician "stars" that where the cross. Some have a nice gold chain with a huge cross while talking about all sorts of ungodliness. So I don't think much of it.

God doesn't care much for graven images. I really don't think He cares much for pictures of Jesus or crucifixes with "Jesus" on them. He wants us to remember Him through a living relationship not a picture or statue.

A little five year old girl I was watching saw one of the one's my mother had, and she picked it up and said "it's God". ... Well I thought it was cute, but it in reality this is the concern as God is a living God not found in a graven image made with Man's hands in man's own image.

For this reason, I don't care for Mary statues either and I certainly do not like the idea of bowing down in Catholic church services.

I think I still have a few Christian T-Shirts around. At one time I made and sold T-Shirts. It's not something I ware on a regular basis. No cross's or emblems on the car. I don't wear jewelry at all so none of that. And no tattoos of any type in my household what-so-ever.

Thank you.

SO many people misunderstand Mary and the purpose of sacramental objects.

Yes. And some of my nicest Christian jewelry and art has been given to me as gifts by non-Christian friends.
