Yeah, I read about this back in the day, too. Thankfully, the peace sign was allowed to remain on display. dcsleeps: Indeed.

I found it hilarious and sent around to the staff at Amnesty International. I find it heart warming that christians are out to rid the Christmas season of satanic symbols like the peace sign as they go back to their living rooms decorated with their yule season symbols of roman gods.

Why is that? And even if the peace symbol would have "Satanic origins", so what? I really don't think symbols have innate spiritual powers. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Peace, Jonas This tendency by the church to find conspiracy theories everywhere seems to me to be driven by a wish to alienate the church from “the world”. Why is that?

And even if the peace symbol would have “Satanic origins”, so what? I really don’t think symbols have innate spiritual powers. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Peace,

I sometimes wear a teardrop-shaped peace symbol, and I used to wear it to church all the time when I lived in Ohio. I was told by someone that some people might be offended by that because it was an upside-down cross. I ignored it and continued to wear it, especially since it was easier to put on than a tie.

I never did quite understand that.
