The Wheelie Bin Of Beelzebub

[Martin^^]

Just wanted to show you my neighbours pentagram-decorated wheelie bin! (In hot pink, too - the pic doesn't really do it justice)
Sure smells ungodly...

 

[theFijian]

Nice though I thought a pentagram was a star within a circle as below?

 

[vespasia]

Nah...thats not the sigil of ba'alzebub.

Its a simple pentangle
HONEST.

 

[Kehaar]

Hmm, shows some flair for decoration with the stars, but they kind of let themselves down with the numbers, could have been a lot more artsy.

 

[Naomi4Christ]

It is slightly more tasteful that the sticky-back plastic clematis or ivy

Ah - didn't appreciate the significance of the circle.
Must pay more attention next time I watch those old Hammer Horror movies.

Yeah, if I looked at that bin I'd just think it was a couple of stars...and probably wish they'd done more & with a better shape.

 

[matthew241006]

They look like stars to me.
Nevermind, I'm sure you could call your council and have them removed. Vandalism of council property? Incitement to religious hatred?

 

[nvrbnunloved]

Hmmm, they just look like common or garden stars to me....

Some people get just a teeny bit sensitive about things like that.

Then you may want to indulge in a bit of head shaking

I was also expecting the number on the wheelie-bin to be '666'.

I'm sorely tempted...

Just wanted to say thanks for giving me a laugh!! The amount of arguments I've heard over refuse/recycling/etc lately in the press... I'm not surprised that the devil is around in there somewhere!

[EmberFae]

Its not a sign of wotsit...its a pentacle and a really wonky one !

I'm really surprised pentagrams are still associated with satanism (if that's what was meant by the Ba‘al Zebûb reference). Learn something every day, I guess

How come, did they do a corporate re-branding exercise? (or maybe it was corporeal rebranding)

There is a Wikipedia article describing its use by Christians as well as Satanists and Pagans. I guess since the expulsion of lucifer was BC, the devil worshippers have first dibs...

Perhaps I should've clarified a little better. I'm surprised a pentagram is automatically associated with satanism, particularly as the usual satanic depiction is an inverted pentagram Being an atheist, I'll stick with the Sumerians having first dibs on the design.

I'm not completely convinced satanism could be classified as a corporation either...
