Question for y'all

[fuzzyred]

Is there a good symbol to indicate a belief in a God/Goddess/Higher Power, without implying that it is the Christian God?

Whose G-d?

I use the UU Chalice to indicate my theological polyamory... but I'm also a card-carrying UU. Celtic pagans use a pentacle; Druids tend towards designs with Celtic knotwork; other folks use symbols of whatever individual beings are special to them... also, crystal points, labyrinths...

But yeah, more detail is good? Also, wear/post/sticker/button what makes you giggle...

This was mostly for a prompt fill I'm writing and on the first take I had it as a necklace with a cross, but then was like "I don't really want it to scream Catholic." So I fixed it by having a cross made of leaves with a rose in the center, modeled off of one I had that used hearts and a pink stone.

It's sort of an ambiguous god. The belief that there *is* one, but not entirely sure who or what, or what trappings and rituals go with it. (Rather similar to myself actually.)

*noddles* and of course there's always Kant's argument that you Kant get out of your head to check anyway... :)

That makes an odd sort of sense, and is also a little brain bendy... XD

Also! The prompt fill is posted, if you felt like giving it a gander.

An Ankh works quite well.. especially if you need to be a bit stealthy about not being a Christian.

Oh, that's something I hadn't thought about before. Thanks for that :)
