Satanic Shirts??

Isaac and I were on a mission this weekend - to get him some new clothes that he and I both like and throw away (or burn...that would be kind of satisfying) everything he's been wearing. For some reason, the only clothes he owned that he was actually willing to wear were the ones that I hate: old baseball t-shirts that are too small, a hideous green zip-up sweater, too-tight Under Armor shirts - oh, do I hate his tiny Under Armor shirts, and jeans that are somehow too big and too small at the same time.

We went to Wal-Mart, and there wasn't much to choose from, but we did find a nice button-down shirt and a pair of khaki pants. Then, we went to K-Mart, and I was excited at first because there were all kinds of shirts that he liked. He's into the button-down shirts all of a sudden, and they had a bunch of them. As we looked closer, though, they all had these weird patterns on them: skulls, snakes, and other stuff that just gave us the willies. We picked out everything without that stuff on it and went home with a lot of nice shirts, but I couldn't believe that so many of the ones we originally liked had those scary images on them. I decided to do some research to see whether the symbols were Satanic, and guess what? They are.

• Probably the scariest shirt we saw was one with a ram's head on it, just because it was so obviously and intentionally satanic. A skull or a snake I could kind of dismiss as creepy but maybe not directly related to satanism, but a ram's head? To me, the purpose of that is unmistakeable. See ram's head shirt. The ram's head is used to represent Satan.
• Skulls are all over everything, and they are used as a symbol of death. Who is the prince of death? That's right, Satan. See skull shirt.
• Another symbol of Satan is the serpent, which is all over many of the shirts we saw. See serpent shirt.
• Closely related to serpents are dragons, which are also used as a symbol of Satan. See dragon shirt.
• Satan is also referred to as the prince of hell. Many of the shirts we saw had skulls, snakes, and other symbols on a background of royal crowns and crests. See royalty shirt. 
• Now, the eagle is certainly a symbol of our country, and it appears on our currency, and I don't want to sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist...but the eagle symbol is also used by Satanists. This hat claims to be a "military" hat, but doesn't the eagle look mean and creepy? See eagle hat.
• This one might be a stretch. But maybe not. Probably the most recognizable symbol of Satanism is the pentagram. Now, this claims to be a "star" shirt, but is it really? See star shirt.

What I want to know is, what is the purpose of all of this Satanic symbolism? Is K-Mart intentionally trying to promote Satanism? Are the graphic artists who design this stuff aware of the meaning behind the designs? Who runs this Route 66 brand, and are they just trying to cater to what they think kids are into right now, or are they actively trying to guide our kids toward an interest in the occult? What do you think? Am I crazy and overprotective, or am I on to something here?
