The first time I came across the Swastika as a religious symbol was in RI class. We were told it was used in Zoroastrianism. The world's most famous Zoroastrianist? Freddie Mercury, I'd say! :read:

It also became a Hindu Symbol I believe, and has probably passed through every religious tradition along the way... and like all symbols (flags, emblems, words) it acquires and loses meanings and senses depending on those we imbue them with through our collective use of those words and our actions performed in their name.

Basically what people understand this to mean is the difference between a bunch of loonies running around trying to compel people to change in accordance with how they would have the world and it's people be, and in so doing, create, and encounter resistance which means you will fail... or people individually changing themselves and their views of their own volition and instigation, and in so doing contribute to the collective condition of the human race for the better.

Phew! that was heavy.

(I'm glad we don't have any of those nutters who wilfully mis-interpret the deeper positive meanings of symbols and texts nowadays! :eek: )

Here in Canada in Ontario we have a named Swastika -- pronounced -- swas-tee-ka (as opposed to swas-tih-ka). During the Second World War the Province asked Swastika to change its name to Winston, in honour of Churchill. The town refused. Someone even put up a sign stating “To hell with Hitler. We had Swastika first.”

Magic Marmalade, your remark in brackets: "I'm glad we don't have any of those nutters who wilfully mis-interpret the deeper positive meanings of symbols and texts nowadays!" :eek:
I know this is a scary thought but they're still here, lurking in the shadows! :erk:

Guys, this probably isn't the right place for this conversation to continue in its inevitable direction...

Fair enough, nboldock, might be a good point to end this thread, ay?
