Lark I don't know about American Christians but in Europe or at least in my country pentagram isn't considered evil or a threat.
And thank you for your info on the pentagram. Though I'll take it into serious consideration when I have a more legit resource, other than internet. It's not that I don't trust your resources but everything can be written on the web, please understand me.
Anyhow I find all the 1 point up/2 points up pentagram a complete nonsense created during the Templar trial.
Please don't take this as an attack or any hostile action.
I would love to have a good intelligent informative conversation with you. You are a knowledgeable person.
I don't see what's so hard to understand about the whole 5 wounds of christ thing. 2 wounds in the wrist, 2 in the feet, and one in the side. 5 points, and it was said to be a protective symbol, the Reverend of my grandmothers church even agreed that this was true, that they are supposed to teach it in the schools in order to obtain a reverendship. Considering you are so knowledgable on the "illuminati" and the templars, you should know that the catholic church has hidden many things from people, so I can't see why this is so hard to understand or believe, or is it just me?
it is said that the pentacle/pentagram is a representation of the human body/ human condition. The reason i put it this way is because we are all made up of the five elements, and we are in the eternal cycle of constantly moving forward in the universe. You can read a bit about this is the wicca section.
to be honest i write "illuminati" because the TRUE Illuminati won't tell you who they are unless you are classified as "privilaged" no offense to you or anyone on this site who think they illuminati or think they know someone who is part of their elite group, but you won't truly know unless you are one and if I'm not mistaken, you are sworn to secrecy and aren't allowed to tell anyone anyways.
as for the jesus thing I actually did name 5, it was just broken down to be a little simpler, though I do like your wound description a little better. Either way you look at it though, because Jesus was a man, and the wounds were across the body, you can still place them as points of a star. fire, earth, air, water and spirit, aren't exactly dubbed out on the human body either, but they are still represented by the pentacle. It's just a way to represent an abstract thought form into something that is simpler and easier to understand (and that kids is an Allegory)
