God it makes me sad when people see the 5 pointed star as a 'satanic' symbol.
Now to educate you.
Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. The pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan
faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus, and it also has
associations within Freemasonry.
The pentagram has long been associated with the planet Venus, and the worship of the goddess Venus, or her equivalent. It is also associated with the
Roman word lucifer, which was a term used for Venus as the Morning Star, associated with the bringer of light and knowledge. It is most likely to have
originated from the observations of prehistoric astronomers. When viewed from Earth, successive inferior conjunctions of Venus plot a nearly perfect
pentagram shape around the zodiac every eight years.
The word "pentacle" is sometimes used synonymously with "pentagram", although their technical usages are different, and their etymologies may be
unrelated.
The 5 pointed star has significance which i can't talk about, obviously, but it has nothing to do with any anti-christ.

the "pentagram" you are talking about is known as the Badge of Order or more commonly the Star and Crescent. it has nothing to do with satanic
beliefs or any religious beliefs at that. it is a firm reminder of how us brothers are supposed to live our lives. the only way to truly understand
anything about us iis if you are one of us.
