Peace Be With You

-The Bible, Genesis 43:23


Ok, first things first. This is a peace symbol:


And contrary to popular urban myth it is not a Satanic symbol, it is not anti-Christian, and it does not depict a broken upside down cross. It is a peace symbol, created by Gerald Holtom in 1958 as a logo for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in Britain. The two lines that form the upside down V is the semaphore flag signaling position for the letter N. The line straight down the middle of the circle is the semaphore flag signaling position for the letter D. ND = Nuclear Disarmament.


Lay one over the top of the other, put a circle around them, and you have the peace symbol.

Why am I telling you this? Because of this news story out of Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
