As a child, I wore a Buddhism necklace with a swastika and kids at school always called me a Nazi worshiper. - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 07:42 9
- and when I see you I see a Nazi Sympathizer? - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:47 7
  - I had no idea, until this thread, that the swastika had a non-Nazi meaning. - ty97 Jul 7, 07:48 5
    - It was referenced in a recent movie - decline Jul 7, 07:54
    - I didn't either. -- nm - kelly Jul 7, 07:51

    - It's so universailly reviled now, you really can't wear it and expect people not to react. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:49
  - To be fair, that particular symbol is impossible to take back now. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:48
- very very good point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:44
Basically this. Satanists adopted it as an anti-Christ thing. But the Bible does talk about Paul and his reasoning. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 07:41 3
- Um, Cracked talks about Paul and his reasoning, not the Bible. Two different things. (They cite Wikipedia, actually.) -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:44

true but by the sounds of it...St Paul got there first. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:41 3
- Shotgun! -- nm - St Paul, seeing the upside down cross Jul 7, 07:41 2
