And the policy of some Orthodox is simple. To take away people's opportunity to read God's Word and then, seeking the truth, to teach them their own more convenient doctrine.

Because it is paganism, i.e., the worship of that which IS HERE. And the cross symbolizes the murder of Prophet Isa A.S., the murder of the mission he carried to the people.

This is a symbol of Christ's tortures for the sins of the people.

First of all it is not a tool itself, for example it was poked with a spear, but the spear is not worshipped. Secondly, it is not the crucifixion itself that is worshipped, but a symbol of suffering and sacrifice that he brought for all people and to remind of his torments and depict it on the cross, although you may have noticed it on icons. Orthodox cross except for those at the fonts always with I.X. himself, but the Catholics often have it without him, but here it is more likely just a symbol for the masses.

What nonsense! The cross is not worshipped just like icons are not worshipped as symbols just like Muslims revere the symbols of the Koran. You are putting labels on it, sir! The cross is a symbol of Christ's sacrificial suffering. I wonder if you make a distinction between individual letters and words from them.

Crucifixion on the cross was considered the most shameful and cruel execution. People sentenced to this execution suffered a long time before they died. The worst scoundrels were sentenced to this death. But the Son of God, the innocent Sufferer who shed his blood on the cross for the sins of all men, made the cross a symbol of the highest honor and salvation in eternal life.

To the cross - no look closely - to God he is the one there on the cross. And for you on the cross too - look closely don't you see.
