    It’s so funny to me when Christians get upset at horned skulls, pentagrams, and such. Who the hell decided these things were anti-christian? I’m fairly certain that no creator god would be scared of horns (it’s on many mammals he supposedly created), geometric patterns, or the like. It’s so stupid and exclusionary.
