Answer 2

This is the kind of idiocy that turns people away from Christianity. You.

A Wiccan Pentacle is a five-pinted star with two points facing downward. During the 20th century, "Satanists" inverted the upright pentacle and adopted it as their own symbol. However, the symbol is most commonly shown with the head of a goat within the pentagram. This is the symbol you are afraidf of and has nothing to do with Wicca or Paganism.

Paganbism and Wiccan religions have nothing whatsoever to do with "Satanism" or any other Christian mythologies. They are an Earth-based religion that honor the both the masculine and feminine aspects of the world.

BTW: America was not founded on "Christian" principles, but secular ones. You will not find God mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, nor will you find the Ten Commandments. You will instead find the First Amendmant. Read it. Learn it. Learn about the descisions based on it. If you don't like it, feel free to move to South Carolina, Texas, or Alabama. Or Ireland. They've got plenty of openings in the IRA.

Answer 3

The symbol in question is a Wiccan pentagram, not a Satanist symbol. Wicca was started by Gerald Gardner in New Forrest England circa 1950. He was a nudist & masochist and basically created Wicca as a sex cult. Followers nowadays like to forget that part, and instead fantasize they have magical powers.

Adian Kelly wrote a book on the history of Wicca called "Crafting The Art of Magic" in the 1980's. Wiccans had a fit when it was published, and pressured Llewyllyn to take it out of print. It was supposed to be the first in a series of books. I think Adian Kelly probably summed it up best when he said this about the Gardnerian "Book of Shadows", the closest thing Wicca has to a sacred book:

" [M]any of the Book of Shadows rituals did not exist in 1954 (when Witchcraft Today was published) but instead were still being written. [T]he major sources from which the rituals had been constructed included: (a) Mather's edition of the Greater Key of Solomon; (b) Aleister Crowley's Magic in Theory and Practice; (c) Leland's Aradia (d) some Masonic rituals akin to those described by Duncan and those of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (aside from those transmitted by Crowley; and (e) Margaret Murray's The Witch Cult in Western Europe. There were also bits and pieces from other works by Leland, Jane E. Harrison, Gilbert Murray, James Frazier, and other great classicists from the 19th century. That accounted for EVERYTHING in the rituals! There was nothing left that differed in any important way from what you can find in those sources- - but that is NOT at all what Gardner had claimed!"

It's a religion where anything can be added in, where the followers mistakenly think they have magic powers, and it's not older than rock and roll, even though it's called the "Old Religion". Authors like Gavin and Yvonne Frost, Silver Raven Wolf, Raymond Buckland, Scott Cunningham crank out books about how to get love, money, and above all else "protection". The Frost's Magic Power of White Witchcraft says "Witchcraft Can Make You Rich in a Ghetto" according to the title of chapter 11. However, the Frosts themselves aren't rich. Coincidentally, they claim to have taken a "vow of poverty" according to one of their webpages, to explain why they apparently can't make their spells work either.

When I visited England (the birthplace of Wicca) in May, I found it was practiced mostly by juvenile deliquents, much the same way Satanism is here in the U.S. No one seems to take it seriously over there. An very knowldgeable historian I talked to in Kent, when asked about Wicca, told me I should try a pub!

Eventually Ronald Huitton wrote his own history of Wicca, called "Triumph of the Moon". Hutton is a history professor at Oxford, so he is not easliy dismissed. Even though some Wiccans have realized their history is a sham, they still want to cling to the "witch" fantasy by calling it a "reconstructionist movement". But you can't reconstruct something which never existed in the first place. Even so, these types still seem to allude to their religion being thousands of years old.

While it isn't Satanism it does borrow some elements from it, just Thelema isn't Satanism, but there elements of Satanism in it. Wicca uses terms like "witchcraft", "witch", "coven", "sabbat", etc., which are borrowed from terminology from the Gothic Satanism of the middle ages. Wiccan writers like Paul Huson and Raven Grimassi call "The Watchers" (heb., nephillim, fallen angels in Genesis 6) like Azazel (a demon also worshipped by Satanists) as Wiccan gods.

If you look at the graves of Freemasons, you will see that same symbol on their headstones. Yet another reason not to be a Freemason!

Answer 4

First This country WAS NOT found on christian principles. Most of the founding fathers were Freemasons and Deists. The first freedom in the first amendment in the Bill of right is freedom of religion. that means ANY religion. not just ones that You approve of. So how important do you think it was to our founding fathers if its the first thing in the Bill of rights?
And its NOT satanic.

WE NO NOT BELIEVE IN NOT DO WE WORSHIP ANY ENTITY KNOWN AS SATAN OR THE DEVIL. He is a christian concept.

Educate yourself. and stop being so narrow minded. If you don't like the fact that this nation has freedom of religion then you get out

Answer 5

Uh Jack? are you for real. Where in Gods' green earth did you leap from Wicca to Satanist? The two are not the same, and hello, last I checked, if Christians and Jews and Muslims can have their symbols of faith on their headstones, why not a pagan. It's his faith and the pentacle is one of the holiest symbols of his belief. Who are you to judge, let alone condemn another. Your questions often deal with half truths and lies, frankly you sir are a liar, a cheat, a muckraker, and a person lacking in moral character. You also go on to state that because the US is founded on 'Christian' beliefs, anyone else should just leave. It would good for you to remember that those 'Christian' ideals advocated and created slavery, on who's' backs the US was really built and guess what, they were not Christian. How you can call yourself a child God when committing such acts of sin, evil and deprivation of character is beyond me. I wonder if in fact it is you who are the one worshipping at the feet of Satan since you and you alone are spewing such lies.

Answer 6

The Pentagram is NOT satanic. It was first used in Jewish mysticism and was the Seal of Solomon. Many xtian knights wore that symbol upon their shields. It means many things to many ppl. Also, anyone who fights and dies for this country should have the respect given to them to have the symbol of their faith upon their gravestone. The Constitution says freedom for ALL. You are a typical xtian who wants freedom for a select few. Hypocrite. You are truly disgusting in oh so many ways.

You are ignorant. Read your history. America was NOT founded upon xitanity. Most of the founding fathers were deists.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the 58 Member States of the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France defines freedom of religion and belief as follows:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance."

Keep your stupidity and intolerance in your pants please.

Answer 7

The constitution does not mention God anywhere. How very interesting don't you think? The declaration mentions "creator" but doesn't say the Christian God was that creator. Our founders were free to take whatever religion they wished. MANY chose atheism (Jefferson, Franklin, Adams)... Where do you get your information that our country was founded on Christian values?


What disgusts me about this is that in our "free" country, they won't let him get whatever he wants put on his grave.

Answer 8

I was born here and I'm not going anywhere. Everyone else has pretty much said everything that I would say. That soldier deserves to have his faith recognized as much as any other. People like you are holding this country back from the greatness that it could truly be.

Blessed Be

Answer 9

I think it's awfully hypocritical for us to allow other religions to display the symbols of their faith on tombstones, but not Wiccans. How sad. I hope the fix this soon.

Answer 10

how come u cannot differentiate between a Pagan symbol and a satanic symbol. remember even Joan of Arc was termed a heretic due to the falsification of ...........

Live and let Live. enuff said. have a nice day.

Answer 11

Our country was founded upon the premise of equality to all and the right of speech and religion. If you are discussing man who fought in one of our armed forces in order to help you maintain the rights we fought for in the beginning then you are damn right they should be able to have whatever they want put on the tombstone. Just because they were wiccan, pagan, or satanist, does not detract from the fact that they fought for us, sweat blood for us and died for our cause. If you cannot handle that then perhaps you should place yourself on the frontlines. Then you can have a say in what goes on your tombstone.
