So serious question I've had weighing on me quite heavily lately. Are cross idols? While I was carving one I felt great weight on my shoulders as I pondered this point. I'm really thinking about destroying the piece.

If you don't mind my asking, what brought you to that conclusion? Do you hold your cross when you pray, rosary beads style? Do you require it to be able to worship for some reason?

No, it was a fairly long process of wondering what I was really wearing it for. I started to realise that I was giving a symbolic piece of metal a significance which was not only irrational but quite possibly idolatrous. When I prayed about it I realised it was not something that had any part in my relationship with the Almighty, at which point I stopped wearing it.
