Truely thanks for biting. I believe this is important.

The symbol was not popular at all in Germany. Only racists and esoterics
used it. People found it strange. Cristians, an horrible distorsion of their
'own' cross. Peace and unity? Like the former poster?
As i said, i don't care about hinduism, lamaism, etc. I use my own
experience. What is the crucifix after all, to a stranger (like me). A
killed man hanging on a piece of wood.... but very popular indeed....

Its cultural dependend. In the West, it IS nazi-fascist. No-one here has
nothing to do with lamas etc., and no-one knows the rational meaning of it
for greeks or vikings. (Thor's Hammer?: f**k  it!). There is no cultural
continuity between them and us. Nazis killed also theosophists, FYI.

A good one. Yeah.

Well, enough.
