It’s kinda insane that the pentagram has been adopted to be a symbol for Satan (not that that would be anything bad) and be associated with all kinds of bad things. Its original use was to be a protective ward and stuff; not sure how its meaning could be tarnished so much.

Christianity and labeling anything they deem “unchristian” as Satanic. That’s how.

Because Christians turned it upside down and said “Oh wow… this star looks like a goat with horns”.
Hateful people fear what they don’t want to understand.
