The last two symbols are not satanic. That is a cross that I believe an apostle of Christ was hung on and the second is Wiccan, not satanic.

I thought the upright pentagram is Wiccan and the inverted pentagram is satanic.

The inverted cross is a St. Peter's cross, the Pope has a chair with one in it.

Its a pentagram no matter what way you flip it. There is no up or down.

People are always trying to cash in at Walmart with any of the stupidest things that happen. When I was there some people backed over some glass in the parking lot with bald tires...got a flat and called foul at Walmart. They ended up getting a free ride home in a cab and a free new tire via Wally world

Unless it's a specific reference to a St. Peter's cross (he was crucified upside-down), it's generally considered at best irreverent.

I don't know if the person who wrote that was just being a silly prankster or if it was serious, but writing stuff like that on a customer's car is simply neither professional nor mature.

“Who does that?” Jessica told CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. “I mean, what if it’s a curse?”

Really?

Glad you were able to chime in on that. I would just assume a prankster unless his snap-on toolbox transfers into an alter.

The question is; what are they sealing? I have changed oil for 35+ years and I don't use sealant.....

You're annoyed that the author used the word "told" there too? I don't think she was making a statement at all.

Uhhhhhh, the kind of guy who rolls around in a pit all day making $7 an hour? (Not that there's anything wrong with that - but to those with their pipe and monacle saying "That's haaaardly what I'd consider professional," it's berkeleying Wal-Mart people. Wal-mart. Were you really expecting "professional?")

It's Walmart's paint marker "sealed" engine deal. Just like if you were running a "spec" series with sealed engine rules to avoid tampering, they paint some of the bolt heads with a specific color or pattern to acknowledge tampering..... Same deal here. You wouldn't believe the stunts pulled to get new crap from Walmart.

Nope. I expect the lowest lifeform mouthbreather that couldn't figure out how to turn on a light switch at any possible employee position in the store. Just look at the people who "shop" there....

BTW, it's my understanding (and I'm NOT an expert on the occult) that a Satanic "Black Mass" uses an upside down crucifix.

I'm Wiccan, not satanic. No clue.
