I put this as my Facebook profile picture yesterday in support of same sex marriage. I believe in equal rights for all. (Michael would disagree with this statement. I'm fine with convicted felons losing their vote.) I had no idea this symbol would make all sorts of people take up arms, literally and figuratively.
First I saw the symbol transformed to two rifles, to support right to bear arms, I suppose. Then it was transformed to a cross. Again this is an assumption on my part, but I think this is in reaction to the same sex marriage by those whose religious beliefs disagree with that.
Facebook seems a place where people immediately say, "Oh, yeah? Well take that!" I don't post anti-religious statements when confronted with people's affirmation of their Christianity (or any religion) on Facebook. Why do some have to immediately react to support of peoples' rights?
What would Jesus do? My guess is not contradict everybody on Facebook.
