Will it burn you???

[candyshopgirl]

So I've noticed lately that when I wear my cross necklace that I get some of the most hateful looks. Some of them are the cat butt face but then the others are this look that they might try to yank it off my neck. I mean really I want to take it off and see if it burns them or something(just kidding)I really don't understand.The university were I work encourages you to express your beliefs .Anyone ever had this crap happen to them? Mu hubby (he thinks) says its because everyone around here is so fashionable and maybe they consider the cross not fashionable.Who knows with the nitwits out there nowadays.

I've never had that happen.

What a shame, when we're expected to be tolerant of every minority, every majority, every religion, race and creed...and yet you're commiting some kind of faux pas for wearing the symbol of your religion, fashionable or not.

I'm really, really sorry.

Well, I don't know if it's celebrated or even recognized in the states, but 2009 has been declared the "Darwin year" because of the anniversary of his book. It rekindled the debate between creationism and the theory of evolution. Perhaps the people at your university see your wearing a cross as a declaration of your side in this debate.

Doesn’t make it right off course, especially at a university where people are supposed to be smart enough to know religious people can be scientists too.

There are always going to be people who object to external symbols of faith. Blow it off, snotty faces won't hurt anyone but the wearer.

If they become more aggressive, hold your cross out and see if it starts glowing. Maybe you are living amongst a nest of blood sucking vampires and didn't even know it.

If they start to hiss, consider getting a clove of garlic for your workplace, okay? :P

Or a vial of holy water.

Better just get ordained. Never know when you'll have to bless the water heaters to destroy every undead abomination whilst they shower.

[jerkface11]

Hate to break it to you but zombies aren't effected by holy water.

[Fox One]

Depends on the class of zombie. Left4Dead zombie, probably not (and good thing too, cuz I haz too much funs beating the crap out of them with the butt of my shotgun

This server sucks! I keep getting melee'd and I never get to spawn as the tank! D:

[PepperElf]

it will burn them!
so have fun with setting them on fire with your cross!


but seriously they need to get the f over themselves
people have religion, that religion may or may not be what others have. if they dislike that?... well tough noogies. they can suck it up.

yeesh what whiners

Depends on the class of zombie. Left4Dead zombie, probably not (and good thing too, cuz I haz too much funs beating the crap out of them with the butt of my shotgun), but classic zombie inhabited by demonic spirits follow same basic rules as classic vampires (ie, stakes, crosses, and holy water).

The only way to kill a zombie is by severing the head or destroying the brain, and sometimes not even that works(Return of the Living Dead, for example). Stakes and crosses? Where did you hear that from? The only "classic" zombies I've heard of are the ones resurrected by voodoo witch doctors, nothing about ones that are possessed by demons.

[wraiths_crono]

Had someone where I work be fired for wearing a pentagram..... even tho crosses are allowed... yeah...

D&D Zombies are resurrected through necromantic magic and are affected by divine powers, symbols, and tools.

You have to either use magic or dismember their body in such a way as to sever these necromantic ties and bring em down.


Which means that holy water would work rather well
A stake wouldn't though, and a cross would only work as a foci for divine magic, such as a Turn Undead spell.

Sorry, I forgot about D&D zombies. The ones I'm most familiar with are the ones from movies, Voodooism and World of Warcraft.
