This is kind of a dumb thread, but it seems J made it dumber by saying U2
would use Satan just to sell. Seems kind of odd considering their
background. May we can assume that J just doesn't know anything about U2, I
guess.

Lilith, you quite nicely pointed out J's errors in his rock
references...however, may I point out an error in yours:

"Lilith" <[email protected]> wrote:
J states in his usual sweeping generalized way. See my remarks above on the
absurdity of U2 using Satanic imagery to sell records... And the "inverted
cross" is not a symbol of Satanism - the _inverted crucifix_ is; the
inverted _cross_ is a symbol of Saint Peter, who was crucified upside down.
(The things one learns from watching "the X-Files.")

Well, keep in mind that the X-files is taking a real church tradition which
claims Peter to have died upside down and then extrapolates it to assume
that an uside down cross symbolizes Peter. AS a believer myself, I have
never heard of the updise down cross being used as such. I think you
perhaps rely a bit too much on the show.

Respectfully,
