The question is not if I shall buy it or not. I'm Orthodox, this would be a baptismal cross for my godson, don't call it "messed up idolatry", you can remove all the crucifix in churches with your mind.
Theres a gap of a difference between some crucifix and a plain wooden cross..
Were doing the same idolatrous crap as the Israelites did with the brazen serpent Moses made..
"He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan." - 2 Kings 18:4
Now put in line..
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up" - John 3:14.
Now with these scripture in mind you cant call orthodoxy on making an idol in any fashion to covet with.. not even of Jesus Himself
^^Neither can you appeal to baptism, for it is a self-righteous work and a sure road to hell..
