I somewhat agree with what J said, in that he probably was messing
around with a satanic symbol. Guys!! THINK of what that song is
most closely associated with - and what Bono himself mentioned in his
first words of the film - Charles Manson.

And I certainly don't think Bono was "promoting" satanism nor was he
using it to "sell" (which is where I fully disagree with J). There's
this little phrase that goes: MOCK THY DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM
THEE.

That's what it was about, same as that's what MacPhisto was about.

Cheers.
