For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
In a town in scenic southwestern Colorado homeowners are battling over whether a Christmas wreath that includes a peace sign is an anti-Iraq war protest or even a promotion of Satan.
"We have had three or four complaints. Some people have kids in Iraq and they are sensitive," said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Lynda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs. He also said some believe it is a symbol of Satan.
Jeff Heitz, of the association board, sent a letter to Lisa Jensen saying "Loma Lynda residents are offended by the peace sign displayed on the front of your house. ... This Board will not allow any signs, flags etc. that can be considered divisive...."

Or they could put up a cross, which was after all an instrument of torture, terror, and state repression. That would make everyone happy.
what does a peace sign have to do with satan??? are these people nuts? you'd think they would want peace with their kids at war and all.I like what Yoko Ono had to say in her NYT ad. I wonder what "they" thought of that....
