How do you know? I mean what, exactly, makes it satanic? The fact that somebody says it is?

All totems require belief if they are to have power.

But not all beliefs are correct.

Consider another symbol frequently considered to be satanic in this day and age -- the inverted pentagram. A look back into the history of how the inverted pentagram was used, though, turns up a number of instances in which it was used in the architecture and design of many early Christian churches, among them:

Kaarma, Estonia, Church of Sts. Peter and Paul - 1261 AD Picture
Amiens, France, cathedral, north transept window Picture
Chartres, France, niche surrounding Madonna and Child statue Picture
St. Mary's church, Adderbury, Oxfordshire Picture
St. Bartholomew church, Ucero, Spain Picture
Orthodox Church, Olyphant, Pennsylvania - 2009 AD Picture
However this one is: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=satan...r:95,s:0,i:434

Which just goes to show you that symbols inherently mean nothing. Humans assign their meaning. The symbols, themselves, have no esoteric meaning or power beyond that which humans give them.

Amen!!! Apparently this must be said repeatedly for those who magically ascribe meaning to the symbols themselves . . . as if we could celebrate or worship something we do NOT INTEND to celebrate or worship!!!

Anti-Christian imagery The Cross of St. Peter has sometimes become associated with anti-religious imagery, as it is used to represent the opposite of Christianity by inverting its primary symbol, the Latin Cross. As a result, the symbol has become popular within anti-religion groups and among some extreme metal musicians, notably black metal groups as a symbol of Satanism.[1] It has appeared in films such as The Masque of the Red Death, Rosemary's Baby, Exorcist: The Beginning, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Ghost, The Devil Inside, Paranormal Activity, Constantine, Devil, Phoonk, The Omen and The Conjuring among other things.


you would be wrong sir ! look how it is displayed .my thoughts are jesus only and when he was crucified the cross was up right not inverted my friend
