Symbols Whos Meaning Has Changed


THE PENTAGRAM
Once used to represent religions such as Judaism, Paganism, and even early Christianity.. However, in the last hundred years or so Satanic cults used the pentagram.


THE SWASTIKA

The swastika is actually thousands of years old, and it is considered a holy symbol by many different religions. In recent times, post WWII the swastika is a renowned symbolic of the nazi party

THE CROSS

The cross has been used for thousands of years before Christ was supposedly born. And early Christians may have actually despised the cross because it symbolized executions. Instead of using the cross, Christians used the fish symbol to depict Jesus

UP YOURS

Once a hand gesture used to show that you still had your fingers, as in battle men would cut off rival archers fingers making them unusable. now it is an offensive hand gesture like the rude finger.

MIDLLE FINGER
The middle finger is commonly known as an offensive hand gesture. In modern day times it has become more common and accepted therefore changing its meaning to a less offensive hand gesture. Who knows maybe in the future will be as common as waving hello.
