Are you sure you have this window? Because usually UK windows open outwards, where as these windows are opening inwards. This means in Germany they can have shutters on the outside.

I feel like sending a PM would have been a more decent and human thing to do. It's an overstep to ban people who may disagree with the kind of art you are producing.

That's definitely the intended meaning of wearing a cross, and a really powerful and important scripture.

It's worth remembering though that 'cross' isn't the word that Jesus said here but the Greek word recorded is stau·rosʹ which means execution or torture stake and the cross wasn't a contemporary use for impailment by the Romans, primarily because a stake was a much more painful death than a cross.

The cross was a pagan idol for many centuries before Jesus death and was later rolled into the account of Jesus' death by the later Christian Church to help with the conversion of those pagans.
