The inverted cross symbolizes St. Peter's crucifixion when he demanded to be crucified in this way as a gesture of humility towards Christ. What are *you* talking about? Probably the stupid "satanic" imagery that pseudo-satanic poseurs flaunt just to rankle fundamentalists who don't know any better. Yes, Q3A probably isn't professing a profound respect for the life and teachings of St. Peter, but that fact just reaffirms how hackneyed the imagery is. Q3A's imagery isn't about subverting Christianity, it's about looking "evil" and "cool." It's the theological equivalent of a rice cake, it looks substantial until you try to bite into it ;-)
