WTF, people have been wearing cross necklaces as fashion accessories for years and years and years and years and years. What makes wearing a rosary for the same purpose any different?

Then wear crosses as they commit sins on a daily basis and not even pray. Now they're gonna disgrace prayer beads. Elect me for President, my scimitar is thirsty for blood. jk

I have never seen people actually wear them on there neck. If it's an actual rosary, it is a little disrespectful to wear it as a "fashion statement" or whatever, but if it's just a cross I don't see the problem. Since, if they don't believe in god, the cross holds no real significance to them, so it's just another shape.

Culture... both the rosary and the cross are sacred to religion. We're just more used to seeing people wear the cross than the rosary.
QUOTE(jcp @ Mar 12 2009, 05:53 PM) Yes. That's interesting. I just asked because it'd be hard to be two religions that have such conflicting views, like whether or not Jesus was the messiah. You'd have to pick one or the other, and whichever one you picked you wouldn't be the other. Whats a rosary?

I know a few people who are both because one parent was Jewish and the other Christian. You know, Chrismukkah, and all that.

i think people should wear them when and however they want to. how are you going to look at someone and know if they are wearing it for the "right" reasons? judgmental much. maybe some people wear them for multiple reasons.

I never said that I was looking at everyone wearing it and saying that they were wearing it for the wrong reason. The people that I know that are not catholic are wearing rosary beads because it's become fashionable, there's no good reason to wear rosary beads in a flashy way and have a sacred purpose in mind. |

I think you're contradicting yourself. Or at least the way you're expressing your views sounds like a contradiction.

just because you're religious doesn't mean that everyone looks at religion the same way. Crosses themselves have been fashionable for years and years. Why is a rosary any different from wearing a cross? It's like people wearing the Irish Claddagh and not care for the meaning behind it. Or people wearing the Star of David for fashionable purposes. Now you don't see a regular Protestant Christian bitching about how designers use crosses do you? Well..maybe the fundamentalists do. who knows.

what I find amusing about rosary is that you're not supposed to wear it around your neck. even though it is in the shape of a f*cking necklace. who the f*ck cares who wears it. it is just a piece of jewelry, don't idolize it. not just Jesus died on crosses. thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. so if you wear a cross are you paying respect to those people as well? pft.

Well, I have been wearing rosary beads(not too many!) for years now. Ever since I was little lol. I loved it. I love and believe in God so why not? I don't see a problem with me wearing them.

I'm Catholic and i wear rosary's alot. To church mostly and i have a really exspenisive one i only wear on ash wednesday. Rosarys are meant to be used for praying and their are specific prayers meant for specific beads on the rosary. The ones used as accessories typically dont follow the general rules of how many beads are suppose to be on the rosary. I really wouln't call them rosarys at all they're just beaded necklaces with crosses on them. I don't find them offensive at all.

There really is no right reason for wearing them. |
