Satanists could care less about Christians. Christians shove their religion down everyone's throat and assume that religion and spirituality are synonymous with Christianity. Satanists and most other religions hold their ways sacred and don't try to use scare tactics to convert people. It is very insulting and arrogant to think that your religion and your religion only is the only "correct" one and if it isn't followed one will burn for eternity. Displaying religious symbols has nothing to do with making anyone angry. Have you ever considered that it could be insulting to someone to wear a crucifix around your neck? Of course not, because Christianity is the only religion that could possibly be the right path... *rolls eyes*

Well...your question is sort of stupid, however the truth is that if you actually knew the bible you would realize the fact that Peter was crucified on an upside down cross because he felt that he was not worthy to be crucified as Jesus was...now you tell me how an upside down cross signifies evil? It's a myth...an upside down cross is not evil...it's the people that's evil!
So therefore the cross is neither evil or holy...only a symbol! IT doesn't matter if it's sideways or upsidedown or straight up...it's still a cross! And idiots who use it upside down thinking it's evil...have psychological issues!
And truthfully to answer your specific question...christians should not get angry over such malarchy. Christians should already realize that someone who is a satanist already has serious issues...therefore it shouldn't surprise them or make them angry!
a recap: Upside down cross = Peter's way of being hung = Christian martyr = nothing evil
Therefore a cross is holy no matter how it's used! Satanist are just stupid...they don't realize the tool their using is actually the same no matter if it's upside down or straight up!

The book The Non-Christian Cross, by John Denham Parsons, states: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross. . . . it is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”—London, 1896, pp. 23, 24.

I'm not a satanist but I'll answer anyway. The inverted cross represents the opposite. It symbolizes that their beliefs are the opposite of the teachings of Christianity. They do the same with symbols of other positive faiths as well.
Note: When I say "they" I don't mean to make a generalization. Just as some christians don't use the cross, i'm sure it's equally true for satanists. I'm also sure that satanists are far less worried about what christians are up than christians are worried about what stanists are up to.

Like Christians, no two Satanists are alike, and what drives a Satanist may not be a driving force in the actions of Satan himself. Satanists on a large scale however take much pride in being counter culture, so to ruffle the mainstream liberals feathers excites them. They also typically revel in the idea that they worship a necessary evil, feeling it somehow points to a flawed plan in God's universe; a loophole in morality if you will. The use of the upside crucifix represents that. For the most part, I imagine any Satanists you would meet if ever are simply frustrated Christians who have not allowed themselves to understand a innately corrupt and deteriorating world like ours.

What is important to Satan is a wedge between God and those who believe in His Son.
It is important to Satan to create some reason for believers to doubt what they know to be true.
I can speak for myself.
It don't work with me.
It doesn't even make me angry.
Yes, I do tire of it, but anyone would tire of a barrage of the same old same old day after day.
When I tire of it, I leave for a bit and work on something else for a while.
I know when I return that you will still be there.
But there may be a few fresh thoughts by then.

Satan's best tool for attacking mankind is deception. Minor annoyances such as getting Christians angry by defiling the cross is just that - an annoyance. He's after bigger things like men's souls. The best and most effective way to steal them is by persuading them through their own arrogance and self righteousness into believing lies especially that there is no God or nothing greater than man.

Satan is not really impressed by upside down crosses or anything of that sort. All he desires is your destruction. He has been defeated already and all he can do is drag more people to self destruction through pointless anger and rage. Why do people prefer evil and self-destruction ? What is the point of satanist ceremonies. You tell me.

1 Peter 5:8 (King James Version)
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
Since God destroyed the enmity between God and man, we can come back to our Creator. Satan had this world fully under his control when Adam sinned but when the Second Adam, Christ died for us to bring us back to the Creator. It is important for Satan to capture as much people as possible before the Second Coming of CHrist.

Good question. I am a christian but I don't use the cross as my form of worship. Satanists really are self-centered and uninformed. They need to read Revelations and worship the one true Almighty God...........Jesus.
