I, personally, favor the second conclusion.
EDIT: Also, you have to think about who Monster Energy is marketing to. What better way to give your drink a "bad boy" feel than literally implying it is somehow related to the Devil himself?

Both your argument regarding subliminal messages, and the second option imply that everyone drinking Monster energy drink is familiar with the proposed symbolism used in its logo. This is undoubtedly not the case.

@ Axis Power - You're my dude and all, but is there any reason you got the face of someone who's a robot and are disguising themselves as a human?

Axis Power (Which I Could Find A Semi-Clever Way Of Pointing Out That Your Username Is Derived From Some Allegiance To Neo-Nazi's And Dare I Say It? Yes Hitler Himself!) Saying Nigga Is More Disturbing Then The Video.
Plus, The Cross Symbol Predates The New Testament By Thousands Of Years So Literally Hundreds Of Organized Religions Have Used A Cross To Symbolize Something Other Then The Christian Interpretation Of A "God". To Give You Some Context The Nazi Cross Is Also A Cross Predating The Nazi Party Which Goes Back To The "Stone Ages" In Which Different Interpretations Have Been Taken Including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism But Since The Nazi Party Decided To Use It The Western World Has Developed A Stigma Towards It.
Any 5 Year Old With Dial-up Internet Can Tell You This Lady Is An Ignorant Follower Regurgitating A One-Sided Narrow Argument Towards An Ancient Symbol And A Happenstance From A Language Where Their Bible Completely Goes Again Her "Christian Morals" And "Beliefs" But That Doesn't Seem To Matter To Her. She Can Pick And Choose Which Symbols She Decides To Give Meaning To And Which Ones She's Choosing To Ignore But They Would Conflict With Her, Or Whichever Asshole To Say All This SHIT's, Agenda.

And the controversy of religion never ceases. Christianity.. I believe in God and rebuke the devil so I didn't wanna believe it but once they brought out the Hebrew alphabet, it seemed like it was making sense but still didn't get gt deep into it
