I hope you're right about their intension of the GAOTU because I have never read or seen used this pentagram symbol (when inverted or broken) for anything other than in a "perverted" fashion and I would never dare want to use or display it as inverted on my door!

Today I saw a car with a Freemason emblem on the trunk as well as an upside down pentagram. Above the pentagram are the letters O B S.

It should aslo be noted the Pentagram has had various meanings since it's conception.
The most lasting has been as a symbol to ward off evil, though some Wiccans have also told me it stands as a symbol of man.
...De Vogel, Goff and Van Buren [1] tell us that the use of the pentagram dates back to Uruk IV (c.3500BCE) in ancient Mesopotamia where the general sense seems to be "heavenly body." By the cuneiform period (post 2600 BCE) the pentagram or symbol UB means "region," "heavenly quarter" or "direction". "That this symbol always has a specific unambiquous meaning continues to be an unsupported hypothesis."[13] It is found on potsherds in the location of Uruk (near the mouth of the Gulf), and more frequently on Jemdet Nasr (3100-2900 BCE) and Proto-Elamite tablets (3000-2500 BCE). [10] Examples elsewhere are infrequent. [2] [...]

I also use the Tetragrammaton (6-pointed star) - a very powerful symbol and it can only be used for good - from what I understand anyhow. The pentagram fits inside of the Tetragrammaton and it is completed with the cross (of the Kabala) inside of the pentagram.
