A recent look into the eyes of ignorance has promted both questions and answers. So, let's talk about one of the more ignorantly feared symbols; the pentagram.
First, I am wondering when the pentagram became seen as evil / "satanic", if anyone knows. I always found it interesting that such a beautiful anf perfect shape was seen as evil whereas a cross, a sigb of horrific torture, suffering, and human sacrifice was not. Don't get me wrong, I undetstand the cross' importance.
The pentagram, spirals, and golden ratio are found all over. Plants, humans, galaxies, DNA, etc. The Greeks seem to have used it in their buildings and the Egyptians in the pyramids (no, the measurements aren't perfect, but we'te talking a primitive people). The orbit of Venus (aka the morning star (aka Lucifer)) forms a pentagram like shape. Even things like Sacred Geometry which tries to show the basic pattern(s) of reality seems to come down to hexagrams, which at the more basic level is two, overlapping pentagrams. Many religions have used pentagrams, including Christianity itself.
So, some questions for theists who look at the pentagram as evil / satanic (more like Luciferian); if the universe follows this satanic pattern so closely, would it not infer Satan is the creator? Or, perhaps, some sort of grand spiritual lie by those organizations that show the pentagram as evil? Obviously these are more rethotical questions just to get one thinking. After all, Christ even calls himself the bright morning star (Lucifer).
