Alright, so I'm pretty new to the doom genre (besides Funeral doom, which I've always liked).  The image portrayed by many of the bands really makes No Sense to me.  I'm just wondering why bands like Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Cathedral, and Witchfinder General use upright crosses in their imagery when they have clearly dark/occult/violent/satanic lyrics.  Also, in contrast to these lyrics about Evil, why is there an apparent fascination with witch hunting?  Shouldn't they Hate witch hunters instead of Extol them?  After All, Witches were considered Satan's agents on Earth, so Witches and anti-christians should share common bounds.
