Coast to Coast
on another post, someone commented an old pic of a biker with a swastika on his bike.
im sure this guy meant it as a negative symbol, but it's mainly a symbol of peace, and not all swastikas are symbols of hate and prejudice.
its one of the oldest symbols in history actually. just because hitler chose it as his party's symbol, (because its such a well known and recognizable one) it has such a negative presence with it. it sucks.
a hindu man was making copies at kinkos for his church, and it has a swazi on the paper he was copying. (its a hindu symbol meaning good things) and he was harrassed and thrown out by other people in line and called a nazi.
same goes for an upside down cross, people think thats a sign of the devil or something, but jesus wasnt the only person to die on a cross. back in those days, that was a way of execution/public humliation.
if jesus was hanged, would christianity's symbol be a noose?
share your thoughts on these and any other symbols that may mean different things to different people.
