I think you're talking about the cross, and not the symbols on the temple, but I'm not sure.

If you're talking about the cross, I agree. I admit I'm a bit stunned that so few people recognize the abhorrent image this electric cross can potentially convey.

I'm not saying everyone will see it, or that they should. I'm sure people will buy the cross only to demonstrate their strong faith.

The person who sent me the link received it from an internet list she is on, so I am not the only person who finds this obscene, especially, as DS pointed out, race is a very sensitive issue at the moment.

In fact, I could see one of those who shouted "Kill Obama" the loudest, proudly displaying this cross in his yard. After all, it looks like a KKK cross, but you don't have to keep lighting it on fire.
