Almost 13 Things that were Once Considered Devilish Creations

The general hysteria about the threat of Satanism was not limited to the 1980s alone in the United States. If you go deeper into history, almost any objects or phenomena that are incomprehensible to people were initially declared the machinations of the devil. Musical instruments, forks, telephones and even football-many inventions were attributed to Satan.

Forks

The forks look slightly intimidating, like little pitchforks for little demons. Why would anyone want to put something like that in their mouth? And people all over the world began to believe that forks are a diabolical creation. Food was a gift from God, and the devil's tool should not defile it.

In the XI century in Italy, a Byzantine princess ate with golden forks, and people began to treat her with suspicion and even fear her. When she died of the plague, the people believed that God had punished her for using forks for eating.

Musical instruments

In the Islamic tradition, there is an ingrained idea that all musical instruments are invented by the devil. According to legend, Lucifer was jealous of Daud (the biblical David) because of his beautiful singing voice, so he tried to surpass his natural talent with the help of musical instruments. It was believed that music could damage faith and cause insanity.

Smurfs

Dungeons and Dragons Game

Once a book of this game was found at the crime scene, and the media began to expose Dungeons and Dragons as the root of evil. The game managed to make not only the imagination of the players work, but also the imagination of parents who took the book from their children, burned it and swore that they heard hellish screams at the same time.

The sign of the Pacifists

Cross

But it is not for this reason that the followers of the Church of the Great God believe that the cross is a temptation of the devil, which forces people to worship pagan symbols and false deities. Their logic is much more perverted. The Babylonian god of nature Tammuz is depicted with a capital letter "T", but the lowercase letter "t"looks like a cross, and there is a devilish detail in this.

Since the cross was not known as a symbol of Christianity before the Emperor Constantine, it is assumed that the vision of the Emperor Constantine was sent to him by Satan, and not By God. In addition, supporters of this theory point out that there were two ways of crucifixion, and the Bible does not specify exactly how Christ was crucified, and people simply assumed that he was crucified on the cross.

Telephone

Football

"Disney"

The company was accused of encrypting tempting messages and sexual images in its cartoons. Someone saw three sixes in the logo, which is why a huge number of people believed that Disney was related to the devil.

The science

Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study the starry sky, which, according to the church, was already sinful in itself. The representatives of the church refused to even look at it, as they considered it an instrument of the devil. But when Galileo suggested that the Earth is not the center of the universe and that it revolves around the Sun, this was the last straw. Instead of studying the scientist's evidence, he was accused of heresy in 1633, his scientific publications were banned, and he spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
