They don't like what they believe the peace symbol represents, and, to them, it is not peace. It's an upside down cross with the limbs broken down. That's how they interpret it. It's slightly delusional, but it's a popular belief.
Do people really believe that?? I've never heard that before

My dad, among many others I know, believe this.
There have been claims that the symbol has older, occult or anti-Christian associations. In South Africa, under the apartheid regime, there was an official attempt to ban it. Various far-right and fundamentalist American groups have also spread the idea of Satanic associations or condemned it as a Communist sign. However the origins and the ideas behind the symbol have been clearly described, both in letters and in interviews, by Gerald Holtom and his original, first sketches are now on display as part of the Commonweal Collection in Bradford.

It's not that small.
I've gotten very close to meeting them. I didn't recognize the guy standing behind this bus after a show we had been to. Turns out it was SA.

Isn't "Peach on Earth, Good Will towards Men" a commonly quoted Bible verse during the holidays?
Quite.
That's not a Bible verse I'm familiar with. The sentiment is probably there but it's not a direct quote from the Bible.
Yes, it is.
It's from Luke. I think it's actually on Earth peace but most people say peace on Earth.
Edit: Yeah looked it up online:
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
