Since the Hitler emoticons have been removed, do you think the Satan/Devil emoticons should also be removed?
I tried and tried editing to add the "other answer" option but I can't seem to do it...

I don't think they should be removed, and I never thought of them as satan or the devil. I thought of them as funny little pictures.

In reference to the thread this thread spun off of:
Hitler was a real person who committed real acts of atrocity.
Satan is a religious concept, and is only considered to be an actual individual by a certain segment of a certain religion.
The emoticons in question are cartoonish representations of a devil, who wouldn't even necessarily go under the religious heading "Satan."
(one of them
doesn't even have the usual devilish stereotypical features--i.e. spade tale and horns. It's merely cranky, has pointy ears, and red eyes.
Silly devil imagery of this sort has been used in everything from Looney Tunes to Halloween costumes.
I think it's benign to all but the most right wing Christian sects.
I like them and I've used them.
