>hurr durr Christ upside down means anti-Christ!
By that logic if I turn a pentagram upside down I get a perfectly good Christian symbol as well

Also this thing gives you demonic wings.

It's really weird that Edmund allegendly was raised in a religious home and tooks many inspiration from both testaments when designing characters and items, and yet still this blunder with Peter's cross.

Satanism wasn't an actual religion or cult, it was just an accusation.
>someone belongs to christianity but is sinful or is a pagan, worshipping whatever animal they like
>"you're a satanist!"
Nowadays an actual church of Satan exists and also edgy kids get tattoos of inverted cross just to try and trigger religious people
But any educated person will just look at it and go "Oh nice it's a symbol of Peter's humility" and move on.

lol

Brilliant.
Can you tell me who and when, besides goth girls, used St Peter's cross as satanic, ever?

>Why does Satan have satanic symbolism attached to it?
genius

Too many retards in this thread
Yes, the upside-down cross was a Christian symbol for a long long time. But in the past century it has been coopted by various anti-Christian groups, nowadays most Protestants and some Catholics would be very uncomfortable or downright angry if you showed them an upside down cross.
Those who keep going "um acksualllly" have no idea how this symbol is seen in the real world
To many people it is not Peter's cross, it's seen as an evil symbol
The average Christian is unaware of this

>satanic symbolism
You don't know what you're talking about.

Clever non-argument.

>doesn't know what an upside down cross means to those who use it
>probably thinks the crucifix doesn't hold jesus up to ridicule
>probably thinks painting jesus as a helpless baby is christian too
>probably thinks any painting of jesus is christian too
The 2nd commandment. And I mean of the bible, not of the pagan catholic cult.

>most Protestants and some Catholics would be very uncomfortable or downright angry if you showed them an upside down cross
Those are not Christian
Orthodox Christians will not refuse a symbol just because someone else attempted to tarnish it. That would mean allowing such things. That means if satanists want, they can coopt Crucifix itself as well just as easy.
>it's seen as an evil symbol
Only to the ignorant

no i can't. probably metal bands and of course zlad

I was hoping you would actually scroll up and read the thread, but okay I'll repeat myself.
Upside-down crucifix is known as St Peter's cross.
When Saint Peter was being crucified by the Romans, he, in his humility, requested that they would turn him upside down, as he is not worthy to die in the same manner as Christ.
This has nothing to do with satanism.
This "if you turn the symbol 180 degrees it becomes evil" logic is childish.

>Only to the ignorant
Do you know many Christians? Sure a lot of people know the story, but many many many others do not. You shouldn't call like 70% of a religious faith ignorant

You're a schizo.
Crucifix is the symbol of Jesus's love and sacrifice, not ridicule.
It doesn't matter who uses St Peter's cross for what, it matters what it means to us and what it meant originally. They have no right nor power to tarnish it and no one will give that power to them. If I wipe my ass with the US flag that doesn't mean that US flag is now associated with my ass and no one will pull it down from anywhere and abandon it.
>pagan catholic
Who gives a fuck, I'm Orthodox.
Well there you go.

That's just the sad reality. Many people consider themselves Christian because they were raised in a Christian househould, but care not to actually research and congregate. Many of my fellow churchgoers have never actually read the Bible. My point still stands.

Have you ever considered that symbols can be interpreted differently? That an upside-down cross has been used in American pop-culture to refer to satanism and that satanists themselves have partially adopted it as a symbol for themselves?
You lack intellectual honesty.

Your point doesn't stand actually, most Christians are unaware of the symbols meaning.
Just because people didn't research how each of the Apostles died doesn't make them any less of a Christian so long as they follow the tenets and do their best to lead a sinless life
You are needlessly excluding fellow believers because of childish elitism

>upside-down cross has been used in American pop-culture
Sure, the ignorant masses don't know their crosses, but the thing is in a lot of other aspects The Binding Of Isaac displays knowledge about Christianity deeper than an average pop-culture piece of media. The inconsistency is what irks me. Which is why I don't go after the upside down crosses in Doom.
>satanists themselves
Not a real religion
That's like saying that pastafarians appropriated spaghetti therefore if you eat it you're one of them. They don't have the power to do that as a tiny group.

>Solemn.
>Smug.
What did Steakmund mean by this?
Also the daily challenge unlocks are incredibly homosexual to get.

If they don't do even a slightest bit of research, they are not leading a sinless life. Ignorance is a sin. The Apostles are a big deal, not some minute trivia.
I'm not excluding, just decrying.

He draws concepts in flash and then some Nicalis nigga sprites them, so lost in translation maybe?
I think smugness fits him better though. Yes Baphomet looks solemn, but Lucifer is one prideful guy.

It's only a crucifix if it has christ hanging off of it

>the ignorant masses don't know their crosses
It doesn't matter whether the masses are "ignorant" or not, symbols are a form of communication and communication is done through the masses.
>The Binding Of Isaac displays knowledge about Christianity deeper than an average pop-culture piece of media.
What?? Isaac's portrayal of pretty much everything is straight up satire. They use upside-down crosses so to tell the player that something is satanic, because that's what everyone thinks when they see an upside-down cross.
>Not a real religion
This doesn't matter in the slightest.
>They don't have the power to do that as a tiny group.
Yet you concede that the "masses", meaning the majority that consumes this type of media, and their idea of an upside-cross matches with that of the developers.

Once again, you're lacking intellectual honesty and are arguing on grounds of changing the perception of a symbol you are emotionally attached to.

>click isaac thread
>retards arguing about religion

every time

Satan is as aspect of God by definition, everything Satan does or did is and was God's will. This is why I don't respect Christians except for the god fearing fundamentalists, because they seem to be the only ones that realize that you have to accept that evil is God's will if God is omnipotent.

>Not the first post from this IP.

So why does Satan have Saint Peters cross on his head?

saint peter went to hell and slammed satan with tiny cross in the face

Religion bad, atheism good, hail satan, now let me have sex with your 4 y/o daughter.

Simple. It's an upside down cross which signifies the anti-christ symbol.

>he was raised in christian family, that means he knows all about christianity
Fat chance. Only people that really know about christianity are those that received proper education on the matter. Regular "christian" family strays from word of god on daily basis and is absolutely oblivious of the pit they are eagerly digging for themselves.

Sounds a bit rude. Why would he do that?

>Passing judgement down when you're posting on a hotbed of sin and debauchery

I don't "pass judgement down", I only state that being believer doesn't automatically mean you know shit about thing you believe in.

reminder all of this is irrelevant

we are debating the mythology of palestinian campfire stories from two milleniums ago, no really think about it

>doesn't know what an upside down cross means to those who use it
It's literally Peter's cross you dumb retard
He requested to be executed this way because he didn't feel worthy of being executed the same way Christ did

>doesn't know what an upside down cross means to those who use it
I've seen priests wear it as a necklace. What do you think it means to them?

Isaac doesn't know about Saint Peter's cross because he lives in flyover retard land where it's not common knowledge

It's original connotation is irrelevant if the intent is to debase Christ. Sure, if the marking on Satans head was a symbol of his piety, then your arguement is correct.

Being presented as a mockery or antithesis of Christ is what gives it the negative connotation. This is no different than arguing Piss Christ is inspiring art to a believer because of the light diffusion around the crucifix.

That's because you people just decided that it's an evil brand when some rock artist in the 80s slapped it in their album cover and the best part about it is that the band itself didn't want to do it and it was added by their music label

Friendly reminder that satan is God's servant

>Have you ever considered that symbols can be interpreted differently?
People being ignorant dumbfucks doesn't make their wrong beliefs valid

Are you insinuating that any of our big religions have a problem with fucking kids?

But christcucks love fucking kids

Not christian satan though

>was
God fired Satan for being a douchebag

Fuck god and fuck lucifer
Hail fried chicken nugget with french fries, now where the fuck is my Fate folder?

Many people also see pentagrams as satanic

They also see the eye of providence as satanic

Christian iconography has a tendency to be viewed as satanic over a long period of time. It's almost like an internal version of the semantic treadmill.

Because Deus fucking Vult. That's why.

This actually is a good explanation. This is all in the head of a kid who got warped the fuck out by a fundie mother, so the idea he'd perceive satan as being a black goat with an inverted cross is completely reasonable.

Not modern christian satan*
Modern christianity has a whole fuck ton of really dubious ideology built on top of the extremely vague scripture. It's not conclusive to say one way or the other.

Some serious ACKSHUALLY shit going on in this thread.

I think it's an upside down cross, or scowl marks. Kind of cringe and childish the symbol for satanism is an upside down cross. Pentagram even more cringe. We get it, you had an extremely conservative Christian upbringing and you're embracing stanism in your early 20's to feel 'liberated'. Hopefully you'll grow up some day

FUCK HUSH.
AND FUCK TYRONE.

Because when you crucify someone upside down the blood rushes to their head and makes them retarded.

ALSO FUCK THIS TELEFRAGGING WHORE.

how about the fact that if GOD is all knowing, then he knew that adam & eve were gonna fuck up before they were even made and also that they didn't know that not obeying GOD was bad because they were ignorant of good/evil before they ate the fucking fruit in the first place

ALSO FUCK MEGA SATAN BUT LESS.
