Have you thought about why it is that certain imagery is more 'attractive' to people than others, especially imagery that is dark, foreboding, dangerous, or otherwise smacks of 'evil'?
It appeals to a certain aspect of the psyche. And advertisers know this quite well. |
AND why such imagery appeals to men while Pink Prancing Ponies are more likely to appeal to women? It is the way the male/female brains are wired.
And I actually like the top one -The Crusaders! It kind of reminds me of the opening battle scene from Fellowship of the Ring.

believing in vast conspiracies has nothing to do with being a hungry Pentecostal

Really it is all Denominations, Baptists are the potluck kings.

Not very vast, but I used to believe in half-vast conspiracies.

Actually that explanation makes good worldly sense, indistinguishable from a purely natural explanation (with which I agree.) Symbols can identify our ideology or preferences--and it's human nature to want to identify ourselves.
My original question was the attempt to coax someone into claiming that "evil resides" or maybe that evil can reside in satanic symbols--to the detriment of the believer who dismisses the object or symbols. So far, no one here. (And that's a good thing.) Some of the apostolics I knew and loved (say in the 80s) were way more superstitious about such things. ("Superstitious" is my word for it. Their word would have been "spiritual.")

Are you sure it was the 80's? Someone corrected me...
