If you google the peace symbol and cross together you'll get 50 million results on it. Literally.

Saint Ambrosef That's what I figured, I ended up just using the stickers anyway since small children are already demonic. Might sound stupid, but what does an upside down cross symbolize then? I just see it a taunting of the Church and Christianity. The upside-down cross is the symbol of Saint Peter, aka Christ's closest apostle (and to Catholics, the first Pope) When St. Peter was told he would be crucified, he requested to be crucified upside-down because he did not think himself worthy enough to be executed in the same manner as Jesus.
It's on the chair of the pope:

Oh, yes, I know that story. But when people wear it on their shirt, I don't think that's the message they are trying to send.

It's like they put a sign on their forehead that reads "IM IGNORANT" it's like if someone thought that the menorah symbolized satan and so they wear it on a shirt. it's the irony of it all that cracks me up.

Just a random question that I thought of recently, one time I volunteered to help out with setting up an Easter egg hunt with a church to make all the little demon spawns happy for awhile. Every easter egg was supposed to have candy and a sticker. But with the stickers that were bought, a few of them had the peace symbol on it. Me being me, hungover and cursing the world, I just put them inside the eggs. But then one of the adult organizers came up to me and told me to throw the stickers with the peace symbol out because, according to this person, the peace symbol is an upside down, broken cross. Is this true? Sure, you could say it represents that, but the message behind the peace symbol is just...peace, right? It's like looking at an abstract painting with dots all over the place and saying it holds the message of life. It's just not valid. What do ya'll think? What even. No. That's stupid. Some churches go waaaaaay too far in trying to keep "demonic" things like that out. Fun idea: Try showing up to that church wearing a shirt that has an upside-down cross on it. When someone flips out, calmly remind them that it's actually the Cross of St. Peter. Of course, depending on just how Protestant this church is, they may then flip out about your use of a symbol which is based off the Catholic tradition about Peter's death. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: Oh I see you've already talked about St. Peter's Cross. My idea stands.

ok um random buttttt can we talk about the fact that there were earthquakes in diverse places the other day bc that's literally in revelations for the end times?? Maybe. The Bible also mentions that "the nations will be in perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the seas", which does fit very well with all the tsunamis that have been happening over the past decade or so. The number of natural disasters is definitely on the rise; for example, in 1980, there were around 120 (major) natural disasters happening a year. Now there are around 500 a year. Pretty sure these are the "labor pains" Jesus talks about. I don't think these are the Revelation quakes, though; I'm pretty sure those will be much, much worse, and I don't believe we've entered the Tribulation yet.

Not only are the natural disasters indicating the end times. The murder and absolute insanity going on around the world and the US government going nuts is also a big sign imo

So, a squirrel got into the substation and messed up the wiring for my church (frying itself in the process); as a result, we had service in the dark today, haha. Was helpful for analogical reference, and it made us laugh. My poor bulletin was a makeshift fan... we take air conditioning for granted, my friends.

The service was nice. Because of the lights, we skipped out on youth group, so I actually got to hear the sermon today.
Also, my bible study group tonight canceled due to family issues, so keep them in your prayers, please. Speaking of study, though, didn't we miss our starting date?

O whoops Well I mean I guess we didn't really have anything to discuss on the first day. We'll just all read it independently during the week and have a chat about it on Thursday I'll keep your group in my prayers too
