Several weeks ago we had people visit one of the shuls I attend. We get a lot of xtians who come by because often they claim they are going to school for theology or something and need to do a paper on religions of the world or something like that. Well these three girls come in, each of them wearing crucifixes. While I didn't say anything to them, I told one of my friends later that I found it offensive that someone would wear what is basically an equivalent of an idol into a place of Jewish worship. My friend and I got into a discussion about beliefs and he was like "well, that's their religion, I guess they are just proud of it."
My way of thinking was it was no different than a person wearing a symbol of b*phomet into a catholic church. Would they not expect those people to be offended? I look at it pretty much the same way.. Or am I just being a little too hard on them?
