Inverted Cross

[Justtristo]

Get a tatoo of a shark eating the jesus fish or the jesus fish being grilled.

If you get the cross, you're always going to be explaining it to people who assume you're religious. And continually explaining how you're not a christian is going to get old real FAST.


That being said, I'm a firm believer in doing what ever makes you happy. Ink at your own risk my friend.

Like Paul and Jesus engaged in "unspeakable acts", full color, both arms (front and under view/back and over view)?

Ima just saying, didn't Paul or something get crucified, but ask that it be upside down so that he wouldn't be killed in the exact same way as Jebus? Wasn't the upside down cross a sign of respect (despite what Hollywood has made it symbolise relatively recently)?

Ah (checks wikipedia), it was Peter, apparently for the catholics it needs to be an upside down cross WITH jebus for it to be disrespectful.

I'd get the FSM myself. I don't want a torture devise and/or christian gobbledygook, permanently, or temporarily, anywhere on my body.

@Rhyth, bah, jesus and muhammad imo!

According to church tradition Paul was beheaded, Peter was crucified on a cross upside down. I dunno if church tradition is particularly reliable that early.

That is not a bad idea, other god and goddesses I would suggest would be Isthar, Baal, Marduk, or Asherah. Although if you want to be really naughty have a tattoo of Jesus with his "rod of iron" (erect penis) which he is supposed to rule the nations with.

Not if you know a certain philological myth about Aphrodite's birth.

I don't understand all this fiasco with people turning symbols into Satanic and anti-Christian imagery. An Inverted Cross is Saint Peter's Cross. Are Christians so out-of-touch with their own damn traditional symbols they interpret anything that is merely inverting its primary symbol as representing the -opposite- of Christianity?

I also can't get my head around why religious shits screw with geometry. All expressions, positions of figures, shapes, spaces and sizes are beautiful in this branch of mathematics. Yet regular star polygons that are wonderfully inverted have been perverted by religious cults to now have "occult significance". Why? Not to mention if they're opposed with numbers why then a Pentagram and not a Heptagram instead? Since that is 7-sided to represent the Beast?

Satanism is confounded by two revelations. The first is that Satan is God's bitch sent out to persecute man, a puppet if you will. The second is that the devil has killed way less people in the Bible than God has. If they're trying to be rebels why follow a figure of authority? If they want to be "evil" why worship the tragic anti-hero? Ugh, it makes no sense at all.

And why is a goat demonised by God lovers to be made out into something... evil? Because it has horns like many animals do? Why do some nut-ball Christians make out mythical dragons to represent Satan/Devil including my own Welsh Dragon/Y Ddraig Goch Flag?

Boy, for a religion where God is supposedly "Love", some of the followers of Jesus spend a lot of time looking for things to hate.

Or even now.

I meant to say not really reliable at that early stage, apart from the New Testament and church tradition we cannot know if Paul or Peter actually existed, let along been in Rome during the reign of Nero.

Even personal correspondences from other people who knew both Paul and Peter would suffice, I am not sure if any survived or existed.
