Theres the real reason
They also highlighted merchandise with “anti Christian designs such as pentagrams, horned skulls and other Satanic products.”
How pathetic can you get? Your entire religion is threatened by a printed tshirt? Weak.
Was that actually merchandise in the store? I just thought they found the designer for Target’s merch, looked up his website, and found the Satanic stuff there. Not that it should matter either way.
It’s extremely easy for an evangelist to make something into a satanic symbol. I don’t remember exactly how she did it but my grandma managed to make “zoso” (which if you’re not familiar with led zeppelin, each band member had a symbol and that was page’s) into some anti Jesus bs and used Bonham’s trinity symbol to justify it somehow.
I had an old grazy relative in the 90s (she’s since died, praise Kaballah Monster) who refused to go to one of our cousins’ homes because they had a “thriving fig tree” in their yard, which, as you know, is an affront to Jesus, because he cursed a fig tree. So, naturally, having a fig tree that is doing well is like, insulting Christianity everywhere.
We scheduled as many events as possible at said cousin’s home.
They get offended by the number 666. What’s 667-1? Somebody get the AG to issue a cease and desist to math!
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.
It has all of the hallmarks of a successful media franchise.
OG Jewish Christianity: The one-off movie that unexpectedly took off.
Pre dogmatic canon: That time you let Sony try to make a CD ROM version.
Post dogmatic canon: Bought out by a major corporation. Maintaining continuity becomes compulsory.
Islam: Darker! Edgier!
Gnosticism: A writer attends a cocaine party with his Neo Platonist buddies.
Crusades and Inquisition: DMCA for a different millennium.
Reformation: Fan fic writers rejoice!
Counter Reformation: Nuh uh!
Anglican Schism: What if we made this into a light hearted cartoon?
Mormons: Somebody tells a producer’s son, an aspiring writer, that there is no such thing as a bad idea. As it turns out, this is incorrect.
Modern Evangelicalism: Judge Dredd and The Punisher make tender love.
Worse yet, there were no products with pentagrams etc. There was a supplier that had a website with Satanic-esque products and Target was contracting for two items from their line that weren’t Satanic. They pulled those products before they ever hit the shelves. There also was an AI generated fake series of photographs of clearly Satanic merchandise that was, well… fake. I bet these fools took that fake story at face value.

I bought the pin in question. It says “Satan respects pronouns”. I’m gonna turn it in a fridge magnet.
Edit:
I bet these fools took that fake story at face value.
These are the morons who believed there are cat litter boxes in schools for students who identify as cats. They absolutely took it at face value.

I saw a car today with christ messages painted on the windshield, sides, and back hatch. I thought, “how insecure or fanatical do you have to be about your religion to do that?” The license plate said GOD [Heart emoji] [Person’s name]. I wanted to leave a note saying, “Lemme tell ya, [Person’s name],” but that’d be a waste of time and paper.
