Brannon Howse: June 16, 2010

The peace sign is everywhere today. It is on shoes, shirts, dresses, lunch boxes, book bags, pencil bags, hair pens, posters and notebooks. What is the history of the peace sign? Should Christians wear the peace sign if it has a history that goes back to Nero, and then found a following with the Nazis and was placed on the tomb tones of some of Hitler's SS officers? What did the peace sign mean to the radical, pot smoking, long-hair, anti-war, pagan worshiping, peace hippies of the sixties? What connection is there between the peace sign and Lord Bertrand Russell? Who was Bertrand Russell and what was his worldview? Christians call into the program to say they were uneasy with the peace sign and they thanked Brannon for this information that they were going to now able to provide to their children.
