I am particularly concerned with the meaning of the Pyrimid and "Bug" on the first thick black page, when opening the CDs double cover. There for all to witness is the Santanic Penagram, make no mistake about that! <br>[/quote]<br><br><br>Except that the pentagram as a symbol is much older than Satanism. It's true that some Satanists use the inverted pentagram as a symbol, but in general they have no idea what it really means. The pentagram has a long history, and it can stand for many things, most of which are benign<br><br>

<br><br>You cannot fuck around with Egyptian symbols and be profound or ironic, because there culture was extremly Evil! Creating a cartoon of the Egyptians, with your own touch is one thing, but using the symbols for real is beyond dangerous!
<br><br>Are you being serious? Just why was Egyptian culture 'extremely evil' Sure, they had evils such as slavery, but they were really no worse than other cultures. Any why is it dangerous to 'fuck around' with Eqyptian symbols? Are you worried we might bring the mumies to life? <br><br>Symbols by themselves have no power. The only power they have is what we assign to them. Therefore if you view a symbol as being evil, it gains the power to scare you. But if you view the symbol for what it really is (nothing more than a particular design) it has no power over you. In either case, no symbol can cause harm to you.
