Pentagram poll

[Paulos23]

There is a poll in the wiki rules discussion area that I think everyone here should be made aware of.


http://foru.ms/t6080283-pentagrams-acceptable-here.html


This poll is to see if pentagrams should be allowed to be posted on this site. You will find the wiki for it here:

Read the discussion and make your choice. Whether you agree or not please vote.

I think we already have enough questionable, fringe type areas already...

Christianity by definition, is Christ Jesus , alone, the way, the truth , the light without nature, wizardry, earth mother, crystals, and such to help...

I dont get why the pentacle is banned. It isnt an evil symbol.

Especially when the pentagram was a Christian symbol for many years:

The pentagram was used as a Christian symbol for the five senses,[8] and if the letters S, A, L, V, and S are inscribed in the points, it can be taken to mean a symbol of health (from Latin salus).[citation needed]
Medieval Christians believed it to symbolise the five wounds of Christ. The pentagram was believed to protect against witches and demons

I never realised the pentagram was banned until someone asked how I managed to circumvent said ban (turns out it had been lifted a while back).
The poll is ridiculous.

I agree, it is silly. It is just an attempt by the more conservative Christians to "take back" the site. Like banning anything is going to do that.
