Came across this on a news site/blog. Notice that almost every symbol is more numerous that the crucifix. Sorry don't remember how to post full size image.

I don't see a crucifix at all, I see some crosses but no crucifix.

A crucifix is a cross with some lame, wimpy and typically skinny twerp on it with a trickle of blood running near a wound.
Of course this does not even begin to represent the REAL Jesus Christ who was a carpenter until 30 years old and did not have power tools.

Jesus Christ was a MAN, not some wimp as groups like the Roman Catholic church portray him as. (those stinking devils)
John 19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! (not, behold the wimp!!)

On top of all this, Jesus Christ did not look pristine as those Roman Catholics make him look on their "crucifixes"

Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

Even though there was quite of bit of blasphemy in the movie Last Temptation of Christ, Gibson at least TRIED to make Jesus Christ look like the Bible says he did! I'll give him credit for that.

he hates crucifixes because they are part of the roman catholic faith. this was an easy opportunity to knock catholics and call them devil worshippers, etc. it doesn't have anything to do with what you posted, steyr.

True enough. Looking at his avatar makes me think too....

Going to the OP, I thought it ironic that there was a poster with so many hammer/sickles [which is the anti-thesis of the Occident] and other symbols which were alien cultures until recently.

Oh, how our people have been subverted in so many ways....

Now i do but, now you have been given the clarification between the two. Try not to make that mistake again :)

When I became a Christian 26 years ago I was living with my brother. Of course I wanted him saved too so I started praying for him and one of the things I did was go into his bedroom and I plucked off the skinny little image off of his crucifix that he had hanging over his bed. I left the cross. About 6 months later he received Jesus Christ as his Saviour. We often talked about this afterwards as he did notice but said nothing at the time.

On of the main reasons why the crucifix is so evil aside from the reasons I already gave is that Jesus Christ is no longer ON the cross. Anyone that wants an image of him to remember him THERE has a satanic spirit because that's exactly where the devil would like to keep him.... ON THE CROSS. No surprise the Catholic church is the main protagonist in promoting such idols.

So, back to the original post - and the poster.

Anyone else think it's weird that nearly all of the symbols are for religions, and one is for a political system? They should throw in several dollar signs and sprinkle a few body parts in there. That might make it more complete.

What is the symbol that looks like a table? It appears to be Asian. Also, what's the one that looks like Neptune's/Poseidon's trident? Is that for Shiva?

I think the "table" symbol as you call it refers to Shinto.

The trident is for Shiva, making hinduism duly represented (also by the ॐ).

I agree that it is sketchy that the only political symbol is a communist one. But then again, it can be said that the overall shape (the 5-pointed star) is communist.

Communism is a way of life, the star its fixed point prisoner.

Unless you change your faith back to a geo-centrist base, then you are truly free.

I'm trying to find older images of the Republican Party/Democrats icon but it seems to be scrubbed.
Anyway, at one time the Republican logos had all the star tips pointing UP.

As you can see now, the stars have been twisted 180.

Seems the Dems still have point-up star.

A few years ago, I called the GOP to ask why they had flipped the stars in their logo.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-82lNfS9cPzw/TkvmtrZKeoI/AAAAAAAAAhc/MUAALmzqmTg/s400/republican_logos.JPG

Predictably, I got the run around at first, but I persisted. To my recollection, before around 2000, the stars were pointed "upright", and sometime after, they were inverted. Someone was responsible for this cosmetic change. I wanted the name of that person.

Finally, I reached someone at the GOP who seemed genuinely interested, having never noticed the change. A while later, he contacted me again via email with a picture that appeared to be taken in the 1970's of the GOP logo with the inverted stars.

I'll see if I can dig it up.

Either way, prior to 2000, the most used GOP symbol was the elephant with upright stars.... after 2000, the inverted-stars elephant is by far more prevalent.

[k-os]

I never noticed the orientation of the stars on the dem/rep symbols. Thanks MNeagle and sirgonzo420.

So, you never got an answer from the GOP?

[chad]

they're not flipped, they're just leaning 36 degrees to the right.

I never got a straight answer as to when it was changed, or whodunit. The curious GOP staffer suggested that both logos have been used by the GOP for years, citing his old picture as proof (when I find it, I'll post it).

Here's another fun one from "the other side of the aisle":

Notice Hillary likes her stars with "horns" too....

Simeon was a monk who died in 459 AD after spending 37 years living on top af a pillar near his monastery, 30km north-west of Aleppo. A basilica complex was later built around it, although 1550 years of souvenir hunters have not left much of the original pillar.

Thanks Horn. I was wondering what the wheel stood for.

How about the hand with the circle in the palm? Jainism?

[Horn]

I'm in agreement with the Jains, no problem there as I see an open palm as a good thing.

The infinity 8 spoked wheel is interesting to me as I've seen it also used by the chaos forces here and there.

Yet was also used by the early Christians, maybe a symbol for a great change in the times?

Interesting reading that, I do get the feeling though the author is stretching it with connections to support his conclusions, and he doesn't understand the Turkish language. For instance Kaymakli in Turkish means Creamy, certainly it is possible that it was a Turkish mispronounciation of the earlier name like Istanbul is a mispronounciation of Constantinopel, but usually the Turks outright changed old Christian names to a Turkish name. Further Mt Ararat is in Turkish written Agri Dag, but it is not pronounced so, it is pronounced A:ri da: the G's are soft, and not pronounced. Further C as in Cuni dag, is pronounced as English J, so it is Juni Da: just as Mt June, not Kuni or Guni as as the author uses to make his connection.

Never thought I would start correcting other people's linguistic interpretations of the Turkish language! :)

I have considered that, and will continue to do so.

Me being out here also trying to finalize my conversational Spanish have realized that a different star is not such a bad thing where language is concerned. I can get by most of the time with reducing to a Latin root, but subtle nuisances such as a blended R still have me wondering at subject matter from Humans to Ants in subject recognition.

I find myself circling a subject with a thousand roundabout words trying to zero in on what might have been said in three words or less. And still not conveying the exact shade of gray I was trying to describe...

Half the time I think, (even when speaking fluently) they don't really understand each other that well.

Maybe its better this way? not to know exactly what was meant,

Maybe this is why half the time even speakers of English never understand me, boohoo. :)

Yes, I think that also sometimes, that people don't really try to understand what the other person said, instead they make up a meaning they like of what the other person said, and respond to that. They end up in total agreement, despite having diametrically opposing views. Everyone is happy! The trouble is it may go into the opposite direction too, and they may end up in centuries of blood feud, despite agreeing in reality on everything practically.

Reminds me of a woman that came down here to work at one point, you would never know she didn't understand a lick of Spanish. She would speak in English to another woman who only knew Spanish. And they would keep the conversation going for at least a couple minutes or so, until something completely different came up, or they would catch enough hints from each other to know what the other was talking about.

But the entire time there was no attempt by either of them to stop talking in their respective native tongue or actually understand what the other said.

I asked the English speaking one, why do you keep speaking to her in English? she knows not a lick.

She said, well you know you can catch alot of what is being said thru body language.

I guessed this included lip movements & vowel utterance?
