    It’s extremely easy for an evangelist to make something into a satanic symbol. I don’t remember exactly how she did it but my grandma managed to make “zoso” (which if you’re not familiar with led zeppelin, each band member had a symbol and that was page’s) into some anti Jesus bs and used Bonham’s trinity symbol to justify it somehow.

      They get offended by the number 666. What’s 667-1? Somebody get the AG to issue a cease and desist to math!

      I remember my mom watching TBN back in the 80’s. They had someone on who claimed that the Care Bears were Satanic because if you squint just right and pronounce some of it wrong, it sounds kinda sorta like “Cerberus.”

      I had an old grazy relative in the 90s (she’s since died, praise Kaballah Monster) who refused to go to one of our cousins’ homes because they had a “thriving fig tree” in their yard, which, as you know, is an affront to Jesus, because he cursed a fig tree. So, naturally, having a fig tree that is doing well is like, insulting Christianity everywhere.

      We scheduled as many events as possible at said cousin’s home.
