BOC: Symbol

[John A Swartz]

Was at my local Newbury Comics during lunch, picking up a few CDs, and I
saw this book called "From Rock to Rock" -- not knowing what it was about,
I thumbed through it to see if BOC might be in it.  Well, it turns out
this book was written by one of these people that thinks all rock music is
from Satan - the author even claims to have spent 11 years in the rock
music business, touring with bands, listening to albums, etc.  Well, for
someone who claims to know what he's talking about, I had to laugh when
I found a section about the meaning of various symbols used in rock and
roll.  He shows a picture of the BOC symbol, calling it "The Satanic
Cross", and claims that it is used by *several* rock groups, most notably
BOC -- and, get this:  the author claims that the upside-down question
mark under a cross is supposed to mockingly ask the question, "Did Jesus
really die for our sins?"

At first, I laughed at the utter stupidity of this, and then I stopped.
As a Christian, I was suddenly very angry that someone who claims to know
what he's talking about could make such an idiotic and dammning statement
about something he obviously really knows nothing about - and in the
process insult all Christians.  I guess in his eyes *I'm* going to hell . . .
