Layout plane for the church is the same as the cross ? Bird is symbol for spirit, also used in ancient Kemit such as Horus ( Falcon) as bird ?

O.K. I thought we have 4 months until April fools day ! Anansi, you got to be kidding me !
If I was Catholic or was deep into Demonology this would have maybe meant something. For me a cross is a cross. Their are many versions of the Christian & non Christian cross from different time periods & places, so for me it was a form of cross nothing more or less. the same as with the dove, flying up or down, same thing.
Have you been watching films like the Exorcist lately ? As we know the Ankh is the oldest version of a cross, so I guess to many Christians & Muslims it would be pagan cross thus demonic !

Yeah the Church throw me off but the cross seems upside down many conspiracy theorist believe it's connected to the anti-Christ or there is something anti about it as Tom Hanks indicated  The Pope has been accused of such here is a link to what's out therewww.cephas-library.com/world_pope_black_magick.html |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Xgm1u_SF4So what else is new ! I've been hearing about the Catholic church, & Black Magic for ever ! Check out my You- Tube link, about a film called the "Devils" that came out in 1971 by film maker Ken Russell. I saw it when it first came out, &walked out, which I had never done until this film. It was banned in certain countries & states. Very disturbing look at the dark side of catholicism. They only have a few clips of the film on You Tube. If you can you should try & see the whole film. By you being in Japan, you might be able to check it out there, for they, from what I know, love cinema of all kinds esp. American.

Nesben I understand why you walked out that was pretty hard stuff to watch even in Black and White and I thought the Passion of the Christ was hard. |

You know Anansi, I would love to see this film( The Devils) now, I feel I have some years behind me to appreciate it, & to put it into context . Although the clip looked Black & white the film was in vivid color, which made it even more disturbing ! Technically & aesthetically, the film is brilliant, & was ahead of it's time. I'm a film buff & have always thought Ken Russell a true gifted artist of cinema.
If The Devils is ever re- released on dvd or blu ray, which would even be better, I would be one of the first in line for my copy !
