The trident -- traditionally carried by the Hindu God Shiva, is somewhat similar to the Christian Cross. Adding a vertical horn at both ends of the horizontal bar of a Cross will convert it into a trident with three prongs. This actually was done to a Christian cross erected by a Baptist community of 1,200 in Ranalia, India. For decades, the Baptists had annually whitewashed a cross symbol on a large rock in a hill above the town. In early 1999, someone added two horns, turning the Cross into a trident. When the smoke cleared (literally) more than 150 mud huts owned by Christians had been gutted by arson.
No religion teaches violence. Therefore no one needs to perform violence in the name of God. HE knows whats happening, HE will take care of it. We people only need to follow his principles.
