Christians would have no objection to a person displaying religious symbols I take it?

You see I think religious symbols in public places can cause quite a lot of upset, to some of us a crucifix is as provocative as an upturned crucifix...it can lead to aggressive and violent responses can't they?

* Wrong, Christians say they are being persecuted because they cannot have crosses, Ten Commandments and other religious symbols on government proberty, but they are the first to deny pagan or other religious symbols of faith due to this being a Christian country. That is not my words, but what I see and hear from Christians everyday.*

In my own opinion is about a personal choice and it should be allowed. In France there has been a big turmoil because some girls just want to keep covering their heads in school. Is this so important? Or is it more important to learn? People should be free to wear what they want, from a religious costume to a mini skirt. Many hang a cross on their necks, it makes them feel better? So let them be. While this stays as a personal choice without the attempt of crossing the boundaries with others in terms of forced indoctrination or pressure, I have no problem with it. Welcoming diversity and respect for personal choices create peace :-)

True believers have some problem with any "religious symbols" as they are idols. If you choose to worship evil, and advertize it, you are bound to meet people who object. Is that your goal? True faith, and salvation comes from Scripture. No organized religion is close. There is a heavenly father YHVH. There is a divine/human Savior YAHOSHUA. The Seventh day "Saturday" is the special day for rest and worship. How does it look so far? do I need to go on? Eternal life is only available by grace received through faith. I give Him my sins, and He gives me eternal life. If I stay attached to my sins, I will end up where they will, which is the lake of fire in which sin and sinners will be destroyed!

The First Amendment begins by forbidding a state religion, so it is theoretically fine to wear and display symbols of any religion. All too many Christians try to deny this and force their beliefs upon everyone. Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Franklin who fought for religious freedom in our Constitution must be turning in their graves if they know what tyrants many Christians are.

You'd be a target for evangelists 24/7. I 'm telling you this for your own mental health.
But if you're a Satanist, you should have no reason to wear any symbol since you believe in no higher or lower power.

Sure. If it's intention was to identify the wearer as a follower of Satan.
We already accept a wide variety of wiccan and pagan symbols.

Yes they should be allowed even though it would be somewhat tasteless and would cause problems if they were going to be dealing with lots of christians.
I don't really agree with it, surely the only point in doing so would be to offend people for the sake of it, but I'd fight for peoples right to do so as its freedom of expression.

The inverted cross is not a satanic symbol. It is a catholic symbol that represents ST. Peter's crucifixion.

Legally... they can.
But mental case, hardcore, christians take offence to it. The cross is a symbol of death, it was and still is used to mark burial sites, and was used crucify people, long before Christ... so why cant it just mean the opposite of death, when its inverted... LIFE.
Modern Satanists live for life, not live for death.

Yes, it should be okay for them to wear an inverted cross. During the pledge of allegiance they should be able to say "Under Satan" as well
