There may be some Christians who find it offensive, just as some may even find earrings offensive. They are following their convictions, and that's not wrong either in my opinion (as long as they are not hurting others). As for me, I've always felt that what really matters is what's in one's heart - regardless of whether they wear earrings or collect tiki.

I couldn't have said it better.

I'm not a Christian in the orginized church going kind of way but more just a believer in Christ. In a lot of Christian eyes this would be wrong but the ideals of Christ are the key. As Sam said your heart will tell you what is right and what is wrong and to me this is what really matters.

Christian fanaticism is the problem. As goes for any religion or anything else for that matter. To busy judging others and missing the point.

I have read books on almost every religion and the point is always the same and that's to love one another and to collect ceremics (ok maybe not the last one).

So be it, the Nefilim will come again.
