When you believe in Christ's sacrifice with all your heart, it's upsetting to see imagery like the cross used in another context. It's hard to explain. I was brought up around believers, and I currently live in the Dallas area where Christianity is prevalent, and the image of the cross is something that believers hold very, very sacred and they don't like to see it used in vain. They would consider it disrespectful at best, and sinful at worst. It's hard to be a Christian who holds the cross to such a high level of sanctity and still be a fan of someone who uses the imagery that way.
