Aren't right wing religious nuts in love with nuking things? anything anti-nuke would be devilish to them...but leave it to them to make up a story to go with it about turning the cross upside down and breaking jeebus' arms off in the process...

mind you, this is the same church that got everyone together to burn John Denver, Simon And Garfunkle records...
Barry Manilow was Satanic because there is some verse in the song "I Write The Songs" that sounds similar to something Lucifer said in the bible - I forget which verse though.

Same with Juice Newton - "Angel of the Morning" is some biblical reference to Satan. I only ever heard them pick on Juice for it because her version was popular at the time (late 70s). I doubt they even knew hers was a cover and not the first...
