Brimstone Cross (+ Aliases)

What I love especially about the Leviathan cross (Brimstone cross, Satan's cross, whichever you prefer. I use them interchangeably because all its alias' represent the same message) is the origin. I think it's totally badass.


In the bible, there are three main mentions of Brimstone (now known as sulphur) and in all three of these mentions, it's made up to be seen as a representation of Hell - 'burn in fire and brimstone'. In essence, it was in relation to the devil and hellfire. Before LaVey adopted the symbol as the original emblem of his church, it was used as the alchemy symbol for sulphur. 

What's a better way to mock the hypocrisy of Christianity and represent the Church of Satan by using the bible's own symbolism against it? 

There are other associations too, as sulphur represents the human soul and life on Earth which is the base of Satanism pyramid - ethical egoism - plus sulphur represents masculinity, heat, and dryness, which is also associated with Hell. Secondly, Leviathan is a biblical monster that is associated with Satan. It often changes its shape in the scriptures but never in its characteristics: it is always shown as an evil monster who must be defeated to represent the victory of god over Satan; good and evil.
