Why have Christian crosses become a fashion statement? (feddit.org)

Just saw a commercial, for ChatGPT Codex, with a young lady wearing a concealed cross.

I'm seeing crosses everywhere, even from people who have no idea what the Christian story actually is.

What gives?

Remember swastikas? It's like that. The abrahamic faiths have always been about violently forcing others to submit. Many modern believers are too stupid to realize this, they make excuses for the slavery and genocide throughout the bible and they pretend they themselves are not part of the problem. Others can be mask-off hateful and it's rare for anybody to stop them.

Magical thinking is deadly. People aren't using their brains and we're all suffering for it.
