[quote:Bowyn Aerrow:MV8yMDkzNzMzXzM1MjUwNDI1XzM0RTM4NjEy] Symbols in and of themselves have no power. It is the faith of the person who uses them that gives them power. This is the typical underlying 'rule' for using talismans to block 'spirit' entities. Unfortunately the Keep (the Movie) was based off a book (poorly in many ways) thus a lot of the understory is lost, including that the talisman was for (it was not the cross of Jesus) and the relationship between the entity and the individual, which was important to know that relationship to 'get' why he was 'absorbed' by the entity.

Original Message
Back in the eighties there was a film called The Keep" in which a bad man held high a Cross of Jesus to shield himself from a demon. The monster took the cross from the bad man and crumpled it like putty and flung it aside. Then the demon absorbed /ate/subsumed the bad man.
My question is does that seem right, or even possible? Even though the man was crazy evil he shielded himself behind the Cross of Jesus so as to try and ward off a demon, and that means he is protected, right?
