STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Cheap Monday jeans are a hot commodity among young Swedes thanks to their trendy tight fit and low price, even if a few buyers are turned off by the logo: a skull with a cross turned upside down on its forehead.

Logo designer Bjorn Atldax says he's not just trying for an antiestablishment vibe.

"It is an active statement against Christianity," Atldax told The Associated Press. "I'm not a Satanist myself, but I have a great dislike for organized religion."

The label's makers say it's more of a joke, but Atldax insists his graphic designs have a purpose beyond selling denim: to make young people question Christianity, a "force of evil" that he blames for sparking wars throughout history.

---"Surely, most people understand that we are not evil people," he said, laughing. ---

I used to give these folks the benefit of the doubt, but not anymore. What exactly does he think he would have to do to be deemed evil, sacrifice infants? Oh sorry, they actually do that don't they?

Christians will be rioting any minute now...

Sweden supported the Nazi during WW II so I would not be surprised at anything they do.

Calling homosexuality sinful is hate speech, but provoking hate against the Christian church is "ok". INSANE!

Let's see them try anti-Islam jeans. Oh wait, these cowards are only anti-Christianity because they think it is safe.

How many times is this article going to be regurgitated by the MSM?

Alright already, somebody hates Christianity...Put them on the ever growing list and when they are dead and buried let's get follow up article...

Muslims happily to rush into the spiritual vacuum of Sweden and Euroweenie land in general...

[denydenydeny]

I love these "edgy" and "daring" creative people who don't dare bait Muslims in the same way.

The worst kind of coward is the one who won't stop telling how brave he is.

o make young people question Christianity, a "force of evil" that he blames for sparking wars throughout history.

As in WWII for example... where evil Christian Americans captured Europe depriving it of highly moral,decent,Peace Nazis domination..for example?

His answer no doubt is ...yes

It's one thing to read about what the Bible foretold of Jesus and Christianity. It's another thing entirely to watch it happen. Time to pray some more...

("It's just supposed to be a bit of fun, some kind of anti-culture," he said.)

It's easy to take culture for granted. Very soon these people will get to see what happens when that culture is destroyed.

Well, if you're not a Satanist, then you're a liar who enjoys promoting Satanism.

I don't know how concerned I'd get over some jean-wearing, Swedish jackasses. No offense.

"I'm not a Satanist myself, but I have a great dislike for organized religion." but all of my best friends are.

LOL! Consider the source. ; )

Yet seriously, for myself, it's just the constant assault on all things Christian I read coming from Europe. Jesus said we'd be persecuted and hated. Europe doesn't seem to disappoint.

[brytlea]

Excellent point, one that most people don't get.

"Christianity, a "force of evil" that he blames for sparking wars throughout history."

Oh really....I suppose all the hospitals, missions, feeding programs and charity to the poor done in the name of Christ is also a 'force for evil' too? How much profits from the smarty pants swede jeanster sales will he devote to the poor? Just another leftist christian basher blind with hate toward the God of blessings. Mr. Swede Jean will leave a putrid legacy in history.
