Upside Down Crosses- another awkward idea of mine....

I'm probably guessing that most of you aren't too friendly to the idea of Chistian T-shirts, since they mostly seem to be about ripping off other people's brands and/or ideas and trying to spin some Biblical appeal into them....However I think this design would be a valid expression of our faith that might show people who haven't accepted Jesus the real way a Christian should be....or something like that. You all probably know how an upside down cross is mostly a symble for anything if not everything opposite to Christianity which is displayed and/or worn by those types of people...however if you remember from the book of Acts I think, Peter was crucified on an upside down cross because he didn't feel worthy enough to die in the exact same manner as Jesus did...

That's where I got this idea of a t-shirt or maybe a hat or backpack design that simply showed a red upside down cross on a simple one-color background...and maybe it also had text reading "this is the best I can do for my Lord" or something....I mean Christ told us we had to "pick up our cross" but many of us display them in a more pious or even arrogant fasion...perhaps this design could straghten that out for most people...

What do y'think?

I think it would work if other people had not already used the inverted cross for anti-Christian reasons.

Well you could die from all the blood flooding your brain upside down couldn't you?...I've stopped caring about this actually...just thought it would be a nice coutner-cultural statement for Jesus...but nevermind...

Have heard this legend before, too, but I am not sure how it would work. Not to get too much into the gruesome details, but a crucified victim dies from suffocation because he has to raise himself upward to take a breath.

Nope. It's a really old church "tradition" - generally believed to be true, but not found in the Bible. I'm not saying it's not true, just that it's not in the Bible.

Well I'm sure several preachers have spoken this as historical truth...maybe it was mentioned in one of the epistles after Acts...

That's not in Acts. It may or may not be true, but it's not in the Bible.
