Since Jesus died on the cross and everyone looks at the cross as a symbol...?

The LDS do not use that as a symbol. We feel that is a symbol of a Dead Christ, we believe in a living resurrected Christ.

The cross is an idol that Christians worship

It does make for an interesting answer. I think that those wear such ornaments/decorations that supposedly makes you or brings one closer to God. However, you will get to see how serious the God of the Bible verses say about carved images.

Psalm 115:4-8: "A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;

Eyes, but they cannot see, Ears they have, but they cannot hear;

A nose, but they cannot smell; Hands they have, but they cannot feel; Feet, but they cannot walk; They make no sound with their throat. The people who make them will become just like them,

As will all those who trust in them."

Such handmade crafts do not impress the God of the Bible nor does it respect Christ. We do not need to keep wearing such, just as we do not wear a chain with a machine if a loved one were to die in a hospital. Only our actions will be the determining factor as to our faithfulness to Jehovah God and exercising faith in Jesus Christ.

Something to think about

Actually it was common for people to be crucified in those times so the cross is not much of a simple of their faith but more of Romans execution of criminals and undesirables.

People search desperately for some concrete symbol to use as a way to reach the Divine. Christians focus on the cross because it reminds them of Jesus's sacrifice for them.

Maybe

There are other Christian symbols.

Ichthus the fish

I am Alpha and Omega, Α Ω

A Dove

A lily crucifix is a rare symbol of Anglican churches in England. It depicts Christ crucified on a lily,

An anchor

Christian flag

Cross and Crown

IHS (monogram)

INRI

Lamb

Shield of the Trinity (or Scutum Fidei)

Trefoil

Triquetra

and more

Crucifixion was the most brutal form of punishment during that time. One truly wonders what would be the most brutal method today and would be use that as a symbol?

Electricity wasn't harnessed for mankind until Father Prokop Divis invented the first lightning rod (and yes, he did it before Franklin)

Most people dont' know a Catholic priest in Europe did this

So an electric chair would have been an impossibility in Christ's time

your point is well taken. but what would have Meagan used in the Exorcist. a cross makes a good dildo.
