Discussion? Profanation? Marketing ? Proselitism ? Big philosophical debate !
I think that being religious or not in our countries (christian culture) it's nice to see a cross at the top of the mountain.
Does the cross at the summit necessarily vehicle a religious image (including but not limited to all violence linked to montheist religions)
If ou cut it off how ill you know you are there ?
Would you rather see there a Coca Cola advertisement or bottle distributor instead of the cross ?
Personally I like to see a cross when I arrive at the top of the montain after having swet a lot climbing with my skis. Beauty, sobriety and simplicity far away from churces and totally intergrated with mother nature.
At that moment I have this strange feeling to be closer to Nature (and God), whereas I admit to be rather agnostic or at leat anti-clerical.
Moreover I would decribe myself as a believer of "Human Manikind", the latter being able of the best, but also of the worse !"
There is a fantastic debate on camptocamp on this subject. Increadibly philosophical, funny and corrosive at same times. http://www.camptocamp.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=169781&action=new .
Would be glad to have your comments on this subject.
