Because I love to research religion and different beliefs around the world, I grow really upset when I see someone wearing an item that represent a religion as a fashion piece. If you hadnt figured it out by now, Im speaking on behalf of those who wear rosaries and are not actually catholic. It has become the increasingly popular new fad.To be honest, I find it kind of disrespectful. Especially when you approach a friend who is wearing one and you mention the idea that they are catholic. And the most common response is "What are you talking about?". It is really, really frustrating to find it waving around on someone's neck and they have the slightest clue on what they are representing. To give no regard to the disciples of said religion or what it represents. It even goes as far as to mention that by wearing this piece, they have eliminated the thoughts and beliefs of the current religion that is in practice.
And while on the topic, I dont really like it when people clasp a chain around a cross that still has the depiction of Jesus on it. We all understand what that represents but Jesus has already died on the cross, to hold him in that place kind of makes me feel like most are being nonchalant about it. And no I dont like the "Jesus" tattoos that people get either. I dont understand how you can paint a picture of a man we have never seen.
Not to overlook the idea that people may be legitimacy wearing these pieces, I say keep on trucking. But to those who wear these items, please be aware of what history lies beneath the fashion trends you are following.
But there is my rant, and there you have it. lol.
