*shrug* The cross-as-sun makes sense to me because of... oh, I forget what it's called, but it's the effect you get when you see approaching car headlights through a wet windshield. They look like two rays of light are crossing. It's the same thing I see if I squint up at the sun, especially without my glasses, because it makes my eyes tear up.
The idea doesn't strike me as a "we're the best for being first, even if we got a little confused", either. Cross-as-sun... it makes more sense to me, and I find it a HECK of a lot less offensive, than cross-as-specific-religion. ("Whose God actually kills the monsters, hm? Uh huh. And why are you still worshipping such an obvious fake as your god?")
