Negative Views by Brandy Mearnic
Scientology Cross
First, I want to start with my view of the Scientology cross and how I feel about it. I have never been too fond of either the Scientology cross or the religion itself. Why? Because not one single member of the religion believe in vaccinations and it appears that they have very strict rules that include that no one can practice the religion unless they are strictly a member of the religion. I have a problem with both. I am an advocate for vaccines and anyone can practice a religion if they feel drawn to the religion. There are many other reasons why I don't care for the religion, but then this paper would be a million pages long. Scientologists have a very critical and hostile reputation …show more content…
Though I never personally knew that until now, I always saw the symbol as a Nazi symbol. It's true that it is a Nazi symbol. After all the Nazi's did adopt the symbol for their own use for the Nazi party in Germany back in 1920 and was also on the Nazi Parties flag (after the symbol got put on the flag, it became Germany's flag after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933), but I also feel that the symbol can be of good. To say I don't care for the symbol is true, however, if we can see it in a positive way I think that eventually it will be a good symbol.
The swastika symbol is Sanskrit for “ all is good” and it is made of four arms of equal length. Each arm is bent at a right angle. Is a common symbol in India, however, is actually known worldwide as ancient symbol. It can also be seen among the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks and Celts, though not likely today.
Different cultures have different meaning's when it comes to the swastika. For instance, in India, the symbol means good fortune or good luck, in Hindu it is a symbol of the Sun and of the God, Vishnu and it is also common for Hindu's to draw the swastika on the entryway's of doors to houses to invite the Goddess Lakshmi in and in Buddhism it is a symbol of good fortune. It is also a symbol of eternity, abundance and prosperity in both China and Japan.
The swastika marks the beginning of texts in Buddhism. The symbol is used in both Buddhist and Korean
