Of course it's fine. As long as it just shows images that all branches of Christianity accept, it's fine.

PS: Where have you been Danstanta? I missed ya!

Wolf is correct, you don't know fully what your religion is yet you still fallow it...

P.S Your book states that your god kills anyone for almost anything. Though Catholic is a branch of Christianity, there is the whole "Thu shall fallow no one before me" clause, you may want to stay inside during storms for a while...

P.S.S Technically you would be able to use your magical psychic communication with your deity next time to find out the answer.

P.S.S.S You should be able to wear it, as it has symbols of your mythology. Its like a cross, a universal thing.

And what he is saying is you don't know your full religion, meaning you likely have blind faith. Its like saying you believe in theory X, that you have only heard of and read parts off. Lets say theory X says that cows go moo to talk to each other. That is believable. But then in the second part it says "Cows also use there moos to communicate with aliens, pixies, sprites, and polar bears" then it is incorrect, but you would not know that unless you know your faith... Or in this case theory.

We are not here to discuss whether or not religion is shoddy 314d1. Leave that for another thread. Right now, we are discussing whether or not Danstanta, a loved AG member, can wear this bracelet without being offensive to his religion.

Catholicism is a branch of Christianity, whether or not the views are same or different, so yes, you can wear it. You should not have a problem with wearing it around your peers =)

What is up with the atheists that like to flame turning this into another argument about God? It was a simple question, and has been answered. And, seeing as you're not even Christian, your opinions are worthless here. So leave.

What is up with Christians stereotyping? I am in no way the poster child of atheism. And I have been around Christians all my life, not a hard thing to do when they are everywhere, and can know enough about a religion to make a judgment like this. It is like saying "How do monkeys get rid of flees?" Me: "They..." You:" You can't answer, you are not a monkey"

I didn't say you were. I was specifically talking about you and wolf. And I don't care how much you think you know about our religion, you don't know anything until you become one of us. And I will not turn this into an argument so don't expect me to answer you. This isn't a debate. It was a question, and it has been answered.

One thing I never got about symbols uses in Christianity. Doesn't one of the big 10 No-Nos state not to make such things?

Seriously, i never wanted to expect a fight for religion, everyone believes in what they believe.But this thread is no way close to a area of fighting, i was just asking a question, which was quickly answered for me. Thank you, and please no fighting.
