- like beauty isnt evil in the eye of the beholder.
- evil is a cultural thing. you know the concept of the "NORM" and i dont mean
- Peters.
- i know that pentagram/pentacle have different functions depending on the
- runes drawn in them. but still culturally many of us are ingrained with
- the idea of the pentacle (inverted pentagram) as being of the darkside of things
- which may or may not be true. those of u who are not bound by culture or
- closed minds dont see it this way.
- unfortunately i have to stick to my guns. its like White/Black Magic.
- they exist. and u could use either to get an opposing result.
- but to say evil is christian is bull. Evil has to do with actions, that are
- not in accordance with customs of a tribe or peoples.
- And There Endeth The Lesson ....
