The tale of St. Peter was purely fabricated, it's not in the Biblical canon, can someone give me a good source as to why- and good history behind it- the inverted cross is anti-Christian.

The upside down cross is not anti christian. Saint Peter when crucified felt unworthy of being hung on the cross upright and did not want to be compared to Jesus. So he was nailed upside down.

Because anti Christ dont want to waste their time by looking for a good symbol, so they just pick a cross, and invert it.....

Just because it is not in the bible doesn't mean it is fabricated you must look at the oral tradition and reliable writings of the early christians......... and yes the inverted cross symbolized satan for some reason.

Yes. Peter's death is not in the bible.
So tell me how the 11 Apostles died and where? We know Jesus has 12 by the Gospels, and we know how one died. So how did the 11 died and where?
We do know all the Apostles died? How? Well they do not live forever. So tell me where the bible says they died?
The bible is not an historical or scientific book. It is the word of God as spoken by the prophets. For example,Julius Ceasar is not in the bible, did he exist? Did he die in the Senate?
I made my point. There is no way to prove or disprove how Peter died.

The upside down cross is perfectly correct. Even if you see it left side or right side or any position .. its still a Cross.

i dont think its history at all.
look at what type of people youre dealing with. they take things that are supposed to be symbolic and take them literally.
additionally theyre very basic in the head. good and bad, right and wrong, left and right, evil and holy. they deal with polarities. so obviously, like idiot in Chief Bush says, "if youre not with us, youre against us"
the polar opposite of a regular cross is an upside down cross. since the cross is all holy when its right side up then the pooposite of it (upside down) must mean evil.
try not to look for rational explanations when dealing with christians. try and to think of them like a culture that lived in the medieval ages. then things begi nto become more clear and understandable. remember: they ARE perpetuating a medieval system of beleif...maybe even pre-medieval.
so yeah....black & white, good & bad, polar opposites.

If it's not actually in the Book, why do you say it's fabricated? Were you
there?

actually, it's considered and antichristian symbol. i dont know why exatly. but i guess any symbol when inverted can be offensive.
