If the 'hype' was false, why change the logo? seems to me it must have not been false at all.

God created the tiger, he did not create the false worship of it.
God did not create the Triquesta. That was created by the ancient celts to honor an unholy trinity.

Some people need to get a life and go witness to others instead of sitting in front of a computer spinning wheels.

You'd think someone who quotes 1 Thes 5:22 as frequently as SFIC does would be more careful about the symbols he associates with.
Oh no... that simply won't do. You have used a pagan symbol and identified yourself.
So if one can show you a naturally occurring Triquesta in the stars or a rock formation or a flower.... then you'll agree there is nothing inherently wicked or pagan about the symbol?
Or else it was noticed by someone in the form of a flower or stars or tree bark or.... Just like you notice the form of the tiger... and pay homage to the occult personalities it represents, right?

You mean like this one?
Incidentally, the word is triquetra, not triquesta. I tend not to take people seriously when they can't spell what they're against. Shows a lack of due diligence.

We should thank SFIC for opening our eyes to see the occult organization we are unwittingly under the influence of in the Province of Ontario and its subtle use of pagan symbology to corrupt us, claiming that it is based on the trillium flower. Fortunately SFIC sees through their trickery. What would we do without him?

Well, contrary to common belief, it's not actually illegal to pick triquetras, er, I mean trilliums in Ontario. I say we go into the bush and stamp out the paganism in our midst! (Or Weed-Whack it, if you prefer not to stain your shoes.)

you can laugh and mock all you want. Go ahead and see God in the pagan and satanic symbols while drinking your alcohol.

Let's turn this back-and-forth into a discussion of symbolism in worship, in general. We Baptists are from a puritanical tradition that tried to rid itself of all the symbolism associated with Catholics, Anglicans, et al. Many of our churches are rather barren as a result.
Are we robbing ourselves of part of the worship experience if we keep away from visuals? Years ago, my father-in-law decided he wanted to give our home church a brass cross to be placed on the Communion table (which is iself, after all, symbolic). This was severely criticized by some as "too much like the Catholics".
Personally, I like visual stimulation in the worship space, provided that it does not lead to superstitious practices. I would not want statues of the disciples, for example, just because that has led to the assumption that the statue itself possessed some sort of powers. I want the symbolism to point me to a spiritual truth and to remind me of redemption in some way.

SFIC, I knew it, you are a Calvinist.
This is funny now we are not only occultist, but now we are winebibbers too. SFIC you are sounding more like the scribes and pharisees that attacked Jesus everyday. I am sure you don't want to be counted with them as they falsely accused Jesus, your above statement has falsely accused the brethren. Shame on you.

Tony,
I mentioned the alcohol because many who are mocking in here also advocate the drinking of fermented beverages.
You can mock as well. God knows I speak the truth.

The difference between me and the Pharisees? They lied, I am not.

Standing Firm, I believe Peter had a similar problem. Only, his problem was with food, not mere symbols. Others had a similar problem with eating meat offered to idols.
What was the result of those problems. God told Peter that what He had cleaned Peter had no business refusing. Paul said meat offered to idols was just as nourishing as any other meat and the fact of it's offering had no bearing on the Christian!
I John 4:4 says, "Greater is He that is in me than the one that is in the world."
The reason I don't have to worry about pagan influences from our ancient past is that God has already won that battle! Those symbols simply don't have any power over a Christian, period. Except that power which we give them. And that is fear. If we fear a symbol or it's possible influence in out lives, then we have GIVEN it power over us freely.
You know I have a verse for that too: "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power..." 2 Tim. 1:7
