As Allan explained you have to use Math-Mode, but you don't have to use
the ugly \(\) or $$ as we have native mathmode in LyX #:O)

Look at the attached file where I fixed the stuff you needed :)

Q:      How do you play religious roulette?
A:      You stand around in a circle and blaspheme and see who gets
        struck by lightning first.

This is to test a list of object defintions:
\layout Standard


\latex latex 
'
\backslash 
(
\backslash 
Diamond
\backslash 
)'
\latex default 
 : indicates the vehicle initial position
\layout Standard


\latex latex 
'
\backslash 
(
\backslash 
Box
\backslash 
)'
\latex default 
 : indicates the final position
\layout Standard


\latex latex 
'
\backslash 
(
\backslash 
otimes
\backslash 
)'
\latex default 
 : indicates required stopping points
\layout Standard

'+' : something not using a latex symbol
\layout Description


\begin_inset Formula \( '\Diamond ' \)
\end_inset 

 : indicates the vehicle initial position
\layout Description


\begin_inset Formula \( '\Box ' \)
\end_inset 

: indicates the final position
\layout Description


\begin_inset Formula \( '\otimes ' \)
\end_inset 

: indicates required stopping points
\layout Description

'+' : something not using a latex symbol
\layout Standard

the above are all of type 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

standard
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

.
 
\layout Standard

If they are changed to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

list
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 Lyx cant handle it AT ALL.
\layout Standard

It can't can it! but from my reading of various TeX texts, imho; it's not
 supposed to.
 
\layout Standard

What I think you need is something like this ghastly hack with ERT which
 while absolutely horrible does in fact work! Don't forget the ``$'' signs
 as the symbols are math mode.
\layout Standard

I suppose it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not one should have
 to go through this kind of gymnastics.
 Europe will be awake soon and I'm sure they will have many opinions
