If there’s one thing I hate about horror movies, it’s the “demons will turn your crosses upside-down!” trope. 

Y’all know what I’m talking about:

Except apparently demons have the same understanding of how Christianity works as the author of My immortal, because guess what? Turning a cross upside-down is not blasphemy. 

It’s called a St. Peter’s cross, and it’s a symbol of Christian humility. That demon just made the room more Catholic.

Also, guess who else doesn’t have a problem with upside-down crosses?

THANK YOU

My god it’s bad enough you get edgy teenagers wearing/drawing these things everywhere “in the name of Satanism”

This is one so frustrating.

Even Supernatural made this error despite how well researched it usually is with real-world religious and occult symbols. 

Yeah, this was a few months after the great fire of Rome in which Emperor Nero blamed the Christians for

When peter was sentenced to death, he asked to be crucified upside down because he believed that he was unworthy of dying in the same way Jesus did

Ever since, it’s been a symbol of humility. Yet somehow edgy internet atheists and satanists think it’s a demonic rune, I guess

I love explaining this to people and seeing the looks on their faces…

I picture Jesus and Peter having a drinking game upstairs about all the times movies make this mistake 

Peter is never sober
