Lost people don't care to know that.\nThe reason you are even interested in that sort of thing indicates that you are not lost.\n\nYou are going to have to live out the rest of your life knowing that your heart is His.\n\nFor more, click link:

Love comes and goes. It's an emotion.\nThe trick is to fall in love with the same person over and over again. It's called commitment.

Actually the X is a combination of the Greek letter Chr and then what stood for ist.  So the X with a line intersecting the vertical center was an old Greek way of spelling Christ.  That symbol can be found on some altars.  The early Christians used it as a way to talk about Christ without risking their lives.  It is something that has come down through the years.  I learned this in one of my history classes and when I had to learn the Greek alphabet.

Good question.\nThe late, great Bill Hicks asked the same question - "if Jesus comes back, do you think he ever wants to see another cross? Would you go up to Jackie Kennedy wearing a rifle pendant?"\nI'm being flippant (before everyone starts having a go....) but it is interesting. From an athiests pov (and I admit, I'm probably not best placed to answer this) I would say it is remembering his death, which was fundamental to christian religion. I'm not sure what symbol you could use to represent Jesus's life.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.\nTrue love is big but it'll come.. just be patient coz the reward is ... magic.

The ancients considered the heart the center of both emotion and intelligence. The connection between the heart and emotions is derived from that early false belief. Incidentally, that belief left them with the problem of what the purpose of the brain might be. A common theory was that the brain was a cooling mechanism for the blood.

it was the sign for "I love you" the reason it was in rainbow colors is because it was in support of gay rights. It was a "gay love" magnet

the story goes that if the clasp of the chain comes all the way down and touches the charm, it's supposed to signal good luck and you're supposed to make a wish before you fix it.\nI don't know how that story got started, and I have no stats on how accurate it is.

You can make a little heart symbol by:\n\nWhile holding down the alt key down press the numbers 259.  ♥♥♥♥♥\n\nDo not press the numbers all at one tine, just press 2, then 5, and then 9. Then let up on the Alt key. To make another heart just repeat as above. (ö¿ö) ♫ ♫ ♫
