It was used on Hitler's Nazi death notices and as part of >the official inscription on the gravestones of Nazi officers of the SS, >the leaders of which, incidentally, were Satanists. The Nazi's considered themselves to be Christian, however, and at least claimed to be working not in Satan's name but in Christ's. This is not to say that they weren't working for satan, but that the *did*, like Nazi's in this country tody, consider themselves to be Christians. In relationship to the peace symbol, I still insist that it no longer has such meaning. If no one recognizes it as a symbol of Nazism, then it is no longer a symbol of Nazism. >During the Middle >Ages as well as today, it has been the favorite sign of Satanists. I've not once seen any indication of it being used as a sign of satan. I'd appreciate an example. >It is >also known as Nero's cross, because when Peter was crucified, he asked >to be crucified upside down since he was not worthy to die as his Master >had. Nero is said to have granted the request and constructed the cross >like the peace symbol. Question: Was not Peter a great man? Would it not be an honorable thing for us to wear the symbol of his Crucifixion as well as Christs, or does the fact that he was Crucified upside down mean that he is currently rotting in hell? Personally, I still wear it proudly. --Bill P.S. Keith-- yes, I *did* make a mistake earlier-- I somehow got it mixed up with the Chrysler symbol. :-)
