Again, Blaine, I point out that the cross is not seen or used as a symbol
for jesus. Do you understand that?

Blainerb: Hmm, well it goes like this, Kevin: One of the names of Jesus
Christ is "The Bright and Morning Star."' He has also been called
Wonderful,
Counselor, the King of Heaven, the Creator, the Prince of Peace, the Lamb
of God, etc. Have you ever heard or read about him being called "the
cross?"
or, "The old Rugged Cross?"
Stars are higher than crosses. Stars are more beautiful than crosses.
Stars represent where we want to be after we leave this Vail of Tears.
Most
Christians would like it better if we put crosses on our temples. But we
don't
because, we are trying to be more like Jesus, and he was perhaps the most
independently minded person to walk the earth. We are not trying to be
like
everyone else, we are simply doing what we think most appropriate,
considering
we idolize and worship Jesus Christ. We like stars better than
crosses--why
is that an arrow in your side? Why does that offend you?
