I just want to say there is nothing wrong with an upside down cross, what is wrong are the people who decided to twist it into a mockery. This goes back to Hollywood, they deemed it "satanic" and used it as propaganda in their movies and tv shows.
The truth of the matter is the upside down cross is a symbol of the humility of St. Peter, as he found himself unworthy to be crucified the same way as our Lord was and thus he asked to be crucified upside down.
It's okay there is a lot of things in the Christian faith that has been distorted and twisted into lies from what it is. Another good example is the rainbow, God's promise to us to never flood the world again distorted into a symbol for sodomy.

interesting, thanks for the explanation. and shows it's always better to not just assume, I should have read more about it.
although I still think she's mocking us, it's good to know what the actual symbol is.
