To be fair, the original SJGames version (as well as the much later INWO, for that matter) clearly credits RAW & Shea as being a major influence on the game. In my humble opinion, their Illuminatus! Trilogy singlehandedly did more to tie the eye & the pyramid to the Illuminati than any other source prior to 1975. (and, as I've pointed out in other threads, there's no historical evidence the Bavarian Illuminati ever used that symbol anyway...)

Some say it means the omnipresence of God, or the Sun, or whatever. It means different things at different levels, including some rather sinister things.

Sure it does.

You're not contributing anything constructive. A quick trip to Wikipedia would do you good.

It's as constructive as your posts.

LOL I take offense to that.

It's not so much that the symbol is evil. It has been used to represent a non confirmed existing group called the ''Illuminati''. How ever if they did exist it is thought the ALL SEEING EYE is the symbol they use and they are thought to be a group of bad intentions for the benefit of themselves. They have used a GOOD symbol to represent their Masonic clan.
