Hahahahahaha !
Pentagrams, Demons, the reference to Hell..... Nope this game has nothing to
indicate any withcraft/satanic symbolism.
The monsters in doom where created by the Devil (oops!!) "A very
misunderstood underachiever with an eccentric sense of humour".
The Swastika, well, after Hitler used it I'd say its a pretty evil
symbol now. No disrespect to any ancient Noridic sun worshipers, extremely
old Roman soldiers, current or former Nazi's or any other group that may or
may not take offense to calling the swastika evil, withcraft, or any said
reference to such.
But you want to know what is really scarey..... I mean REALLY,
REALLY SCAREY!!
All of this politically correct bullshit!!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
RUN AWAY!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!
