Are you sure they weren't derived from something else -- perhaps a source in common for the "traditional" depictions of the devil? There may be a common source for both, rather than one being the source of the other. Correlation does not imply causation. Did you ask the original Beastie artist for confirmation that he was consciously emulating images of the Christian devil, or did you just jump to a conclusion like the OP? --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --DocE+STaALJfprDB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkxOJG0ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUI+ACdE0L+sLAyCtNkpfSjZ5FcYK9H QJ0An12Evbe2cgBkwiH5BQGQIv0syBv5 =rSJj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DocE+STaALJfprDB--
