[bit.listserv.christia] The Peace Symbol

D2MG@SDSUMUS (Kurt Evans) (01/15/90)

     The following is an excerpt from *The Satan Seller* by former
Satanist high priest Mike Warnke (Copyright 1972 by Bridge Publishing,
Inc.):

     "The peace symbol, even worn by many Christians today, has a very
long history.  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.*  During the Middle
Ages as well as today, it has been the favorite sign of Satanists.  In
Austria and Italy during ancient times, it meant evil and death.  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.  Since that time, it has been known as the symbol
of the antichrist, and in 70 A.D. it was the signet carried by the
Romans who ravished Jerusalem."
