Hi.
I was the one who asked this question:
"What does it mean when someone says, 'Jesus can't play music while nailed to a cross.'?"
Anyways, since you're the only decent one who tryed to answer my question, I figured I'd just personally message you. =)
I saw it on a girl who is agnostic. She had a tattoo of an upside down cross, with those words underneith. I know what an upside down cross means. There's not much more to it, I just really wanted to know what it meant.
Thanks so much if you can help in any way. =)

I've been thinking about this a lot. I came up with a few ideas. There are many, many forms of agnosticism. If she's agnostic she probably doesn't believe in organized religion. Assuming that she doesn't believe in Jesus or, like a Jewish person, believes that Jesus may have been a real person, but wasn't the son of God, she is more or less mocking organized religion. My guess is that the purpose of the tatoo is to get attention. Any Christian that saw it would either be angry, upset, or confused. The upside down cross has a controversial meaning. The phrase is also confusing and could mean any number of things. If she wanted to get a point across she would have made it clearer. She probably saw the phrase someplace and thought it sounded cool. My guess is that SHE doesn't even really know what it means. There's a meaning behind it, her agnosticism, but I doubt that it has a specific meaning. It sounds like it could also have some kind of emo or gothic roots. Music, pain...she could be mocking or supporting either of those lifestyles with her tatoo. Lots of kids try writing songs or playing guitar to release their pain. It's either sympathy for Jesus, questioning of His power, saying hey, Jesus is just human, or mocking organized religion in some way. In other words, it's basically just rebellious. If there's meaning behind it, her rebellious attitude by getting something like that matters much more and serves as a much better explanation than even she can probably give.
