    yeah, the trappings of a death cult didn’t sit well with him, plus the whole cross thing was a real turn off. Imagine if a guillotine had killed you and you come back to see a religion spring up using guillotines as their symbol

      I believe the early symbol of Christianity was the Icthys, then the Chi-Rho, before European Christians settled on the Latin cross.
