What is your stance on the Illuminati symbolism that is ever-present in American culture?

Question

The Pentagon, the All-Seeing Eye of Horus, various statue heights, the Bohemian Grove, etc. Why are they there? What is your take on them? I'd like opinions from all people. Taken in the Christian context that Satan is the true ruler of this earth, it makes a whole lot of sense, and I'm not one bit surprised at any of it, but I'd like other opinions from both Christians and non-Christians.

EDIT: these things are very real, whether or not they have significance. This isn't a place for mocking -- I want your opinions on them.

I am always looking for patterns, so when I see this line up with what the Bible teaches, it makes sense. Everything has a pattern. What do you make of it?

Answer 1

I'm one of the Illuminated ones.... *evil grin*

"We’d like to announce that we’re taking over the world, and will be running things from here on out through rational and scientific methods. We will use our collective expertise to solve all world problems, but it will require your full cooperation and that you bow to our superior knowledge at all times.”- Official statement from the Illuminati

Answer 2

It's not "Illuminati" symbolism, it's Freemasonry symbols, eg. the Washington Monument. Many signers of the US Declaration of Independence were Freemasons.

Masonic signers of the Declaration of Independence:
- Benjamin Franklin
- Robert Treat Paine
- John Handcock
- Richard Stockton
- Joseph Hewes
- George Walton
- William Hooper
- William Whippl

Masonic signers of the U.S. Constitution:
- Gunning Bradford Jr.
- John Blair
- Benjamin Franklin
- David Brearley
- Nicholas Gilman
- Jacob Broom
- Rufus King
- Daniel Carroll
- James McHenery
- Jonathan Dayton
- William Paterson
- John Dickinson
- George Washington

US Presidents who were Masons:
- George Washington
- James Monroe
- Andrew Jackson
- James Polk
- James Buchanan
- Andrew Johnson
- James Garfield
- William McKinley
- Theodore Roosevelt
- William Howard Taft
- Warren G. Harding
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Harry S. Truman
- Lyndon B. Johnson
- Gerald R. Ford

And forget that idiotic fairy tale movie, "The National Treasure". Freemasons are nothing but a self-serving "old boys club" that protects and promotes is members to the detriment of others more deserving and protects each other from legal consequences.

Answer 3

I'm not christian..but I was until I discovered the Illumanit, which invented religion. Most people that have responded are close-minded and at best ingnorant. If you really look at these structures and sybmols the truth of them cannot be ignored..by they are because its only one peice to a very big puzzle. If you knew the true history of the Illumanti and there agenda it would make alot more sense. I dont belive that Satan is ruling the earth, i beleive its more of a negative conscioussness that has been predomiant for a long time, but humanity is starting to understand its power and the energy's are shifiting. Look at the work of David Icke.

Answer 4

I don't think it means much of anything anymore. When most of it was created (the eye of horus, the pyramids on money etc) symbolism was much more powerful than it is now. Many people believe the founding fathers used symbols common in freemasonry (often touted as a cover for the illuminati) because they were all Masons themselves. Even if that were true, I don't it really has any impact on our society today other than to fuel conspiracy theories.

Answer 5

i think the presense of some of these things is interesting (thank you history channel). That being said, many myths and conspiracies work on selective evidence and hindsight. Many of the symbols are connected to the Freemasons, of which several founding fathers and more recent Presidents have been members. I would say though that at ABSOLUTE WORST, it is a secular conspiracy run by darwinistic alpha men to create a free world utopia that they secretly run. The horror! I guess if you're christian you could think that's Satan but whatever.

Answer 6

I do believe that they were created by the illuminati but I do not beleive this so called illuminati are the result of the devil sort of speak. I think they were just intelligent humans who were critized like most atheists are today for believing in something that was different than the majority. They had to hide thier beliefs and created a system of codes because it was either than being ridiculed or persecuted.

Do not forget Da Vinci was persecuted because of the things that he believed in, in essence he was forced to follow the masses and thus was not allowed to even paint the way he wanted to. His artistic creativity was limited in a sense. Its like clipping a birds wings.

I think the whole idea of Satan is ridiculous. If someone asked me to accept a billion dollars for doing something illegal I might consider it, is this devil temptation, I think not, I think its just human nature. However take the same context and ask if I would sell my soul in exchange for this billion dollars, I would say no.........so am I tempted? No, I am just human.

Does satan rule the world, no powerful people with nothing better do rule the world. Money = boredom because you have nothing left to strive for so you do things like join secret societies, push the envelope sort of speak, etc. I think the illuminati is nothing more than a bunch of rich people with nothing better to do than be part of groups.

Answer 7

You asked. Illuminated Masons. Underworld Satanic organization. Secret Society. They trick and seduce people into playing occult games and practices. This causes a spirit of the devil to enter people putting them into a spiritual bondage, witchcraft/ demonic powers or opression. Also known as the deep secrets of Satan. Thuse a person is taken captive. Their is a ceramoney and it is performed useing Transendental meditation. They use mind control as a form of torcher to get people to go threw this ceremony. Once you go threw this you are tricked into worshiping all Gods, this includes the Devil Beast and False prophet forget the rest. Idolatry is strictly forbiden Lowering the capstone referce to the spirit of Satan and Spiritual mark placed in and on the soul. Another way to control people. Mufia, Hells angels, Wiccas, New age movement. Its spreading like a cancer threw society. POWERFULL DELLUSION!

Answer 8

too control the planet and it's people ....yes I think so but there is nothing supernatural with being the riches people on earth . they may lack some morality but nothing is satanic short of comic books .fantasy has little to do with world domination except for propaganda to control the less intelligent and unaware.

Answer 9

i do no longer think of that that's unfavorable yet I do have faith that that's regressive. issues have replaced plenty via fact the days the place maximum Black families have been working classification those with solid morals and a schedule to circulate to church each and every Sunday. each and every race has its down fall or perhaps however alot of Black definitely everyone seems to be unsuccessful in each and every way, alot of Black definitely everyone seems to be progressing and examining onward and such.

Answer 10

When someone creates a tangible symbol thats supposed to represent something spiritual, does it really mean the spiritual thing really exists? no, its just some guy who created something.... some people buy into stuff but it never really means its true or not, believe what you want to believe about that stuff, just know that nothing like that is necessarilly true just because it exists..
