Lol definitely don’t care about Reddit points. More interested by how defensive people were. While I understand gestures can have multiple meanings, this one has a strong connotation with Nazis, however Christians still (seemingly) stand firmly behind it and use it regularly for their own meaning.

Swatstika had a different meaning before Nazi but you don’t see it being used in that manor before. I’m sorry to have offended you so deeply by me being exposed to this for the first time.

It was a wedding, so many pictures were being taken. I just found it odd. Clearly people feel strongly about it

I grew up Catholic, never saw this before. Given I haven’t been in a few years.

I honestly think most religions are problematic, I was raised Catholic and just never saw this type of blessing before

I grew up Catholic, but haven’t practiced for a long time. Not that I don’t believe you but, this was all news to me.

I just don’t go to Church, this was all news to me.

To be clear, I know it’s not a Nazi salute and a blessing, but found it off putting. Should probably change how they give blessings imo

Right, the Swatstika is a great example. Appropriated by Nazis and I feel no longer used by Hindu/Buddhists bc of the connotation
