How fitting is it, that a cross upended is in the shape of a sword. Knowing the Son of God has blessed us with His presence, are we to simply tolerate the same conditions that created the torture of our messiah?

The teachings of our modern religions are all eskewed. We were not meant to witness the death of our Beloved and retreat into stoic pacisism. We were meant to wield the cross and destroy the wicked.

The symbol of the cross is there for us when we die. The shape of the sword is there for us while we yet live.

For the eternal love of those who will outlive us, an undying gift from He who began.
