Has everyone forgot or chosen to ignore the meaning of the cross?
Without the shedding of Christ' blood, their would be no forgiveness of sins... then the cross would be meaningless; but Scripture tells us, "For unto us a Son is given...and the Government shall be on his shoulders, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty GOD, the Ever-lasting Father, the Prince of Peace..." this is in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
