The Man on the Plus Sign

Ever wondered if Religion and Math might be connected through that thing hanged on top of the blackboard in classrooms? Well, I did and the answer is yes. Look at it this way, why is the cross so similar to a plus sign... the answer for me is the concept of sacrifice. When people sacrifice something and they know what they are sacrificing for, they usually get it. Also when people do little sacrifices to live a good life, they earn plus points in heaven... Whereas laid back easy-going slackers minus points because life is so much easier when the slope = 0. There are some things in life which can be easily surrendered but then there are always that need be but not easy.
