Thai...Pentagon is not Pentagram. Yes I know what it represents but these people here claim that Satan is harmless fun so no one cares I guess.

Strangely the pentagram did not have it's current meaning when Washington DC was designed. About the time Le fount (sorry, forget the spelling) was drawing the designs for DC, a book was written that included the pentagram as being associated with the devil. There is no evidence that Le fount (or his successor) was aware of this book or that he knew the author. The book was not widely published and was fairly obscure until Hollywood popularized it in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
If you take a few minutes to research the original designs you will see that it included many diagonal streets (any and all of which could be used to make various shapes). This "theory" has no substance to it whatsoever.

The Pentagram or Pentacle is a pagan symbol of magick and power. The five 'claws' of the pentagram represents the elements earth and fire. The two side 'claws' represent the elements of water and air. At the too of the pentacle we place the spirit as a guidance element. The Satanists turn the symbol upside-down and places the elements earth and fire to the top while placing spirit to the bottom.
Pentagon is not pentagram, if you ment that. Pentagon is a geometric element and it consists of five sides. The pentagram is not, so that's the story.

Yes, I know what it represents, and it isn't your conspiracy theory here.
The pentagram goes back to 3500 BCE and was used by the mesopotamian rules as a symbol of their power.
In ancient Greece to the pythagoreans, it was a symbol (both mathematically and mystically) of perfection.
To ancient Hebrews, it represented the Truth.
Up until medieval times, the five points of the Pentagram represented the five wounds of Christ on the Holy Cross. During these times the Pentagram, so criticized by modern Christians carried no evil implications at all and in fact was symbolic of their savior.
Constantine, whose mother Helena discovered the religious relic "The True Cross" chose to use the Pentagram on his seal and amulet. In the ensuing church that grew from Constantine's takeover of the Roman Empire, the cross became the chosen symbol of Christianity rather than the Pentagram.
The Pentagram as a symbol of evil......
Some believe that with the destruction of the Knights Templar by the combined treachery of King Phillip IV and Pope Clement V, the inquisition of the church begin. Starting with the Templars, whom fell under accusations of worshipping an idol called Baphomet. (some believe that if this idol existed at all it did not resemble anything like Levi's Baphomet.) Torture and death abound......the church began to destroy all who opposed the rule of the Holy See. Heretics, Pagans and Witches all met with the same fate of conversion or death.
It was during this time that the horned gods still worshipped by the peasants and folk people of Europe, became the accepted (by the Christian Church) imagery for the Devil. Therefore in the eyes of the church if the pleasants worshipped false, evil gods, then the Pentagram symbol (used as symbol of security) must therefore be evil as well.
Here's your history lesson for the day.

1) A pentagram represents the union of earth, air, fire, and water under the guidance of spirit. It is an inherently good symbol, just as a cross is. It is the inverted pentagram--spirit dominated by the four elements--that is evil, just as an inverted cross.
2) Washington, D. C. was designed with many symbolically significant devices by the Freemasons who helped create it. None of those symbols is a pentagram.
3) Freemasons do not--let me make this quite clear--do NOT have anything to do with Devil worship.

The pentagram is a sign of the five elements of life (earth, air, fire, water, spirit) It is not the symbol of the Devil as many misinformed people may think, but then again why do I even bother. These misinformed people like to stay ingnorant, and stay in their little hole believeing that they will go to hell for admiring a STAR

Yes, it is the star. It has been featured on countless national flags and emblems, and has magical associations in all sorts of pagan religions, and even freemasonry, which is supposedly linked to all the Washington conspiracy theories.
