I count five points on the star at the Olympics opening ceremony, not six, which makes it a pentagram, not the star of Remphan (commonly mislabeled as the star of David, whom never used any star symbol to my knowledge, particularly by the State of Israel whose flag it is on. Remphan, as far as I have been able to ascertain, is another name for Moloch, or Molech, whose worship required human sacrifice, particularly of firstborn sons. Exodus 22:29 NIV reads 'Do not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats. You must give me the firstborn of your sons.' There have long been associations between Hebrew tribes and human sacrifice, and I have read claims that the Canaanite storm god Yahweh also required human sacrifice, but have not deeply researched it. Certainly the sexual mutilation of sons and drinking the blood from the agonizing wound remains a core ritual in Judaism today, and parallels Exodus 22:30, in which firstborn livestock are to be sacrificed on their eighth day of life, just as sons are mutilated and their genitals scarified on their eighth day of life). The pentagram is widely thought to be symbolic of Satan, by whatever name (Lucifer,Beelzebub,etc.), and Satan is associated with hell, which is associated with flames and burning perennially. The central flame then symbolizes hell to me. The leafless tree, while vaguely resembling a menorah due to it's pruning into a planar shape, tends to engender winter, or death, as dead trees, and deciduous trees in winter, bear no leaves.

From now on I will imagine you resembling the post-divorce chad, since you were a gym instructor.

Testosterone has dropped by far more than 60% since the 1970s. Young men today have 25 - 30% of the test of the guys you're talking about in the 1940's. I am well into my 60's and I have more testosterone than many men my sons' ages.

I've always thought Courtney Love should be in prison.

Thanks!

Well, I am pretty far from a gym instructor now - I don't know if I could do ten pushups to be honest. I need to work on that. I agree about testerone, - it has dropped a lot, I just could not find a number on it at the time - but in hindsight, yeah, its dropped massive amounts -

About it symbolising hell - yeah, that is the vibe I get. Whether a pentagram or like a star of remphan, as you say - the vibe overall, is something dark - it all feels so wrong.

Thanks!

"...it all feels so wrong."

I think if feels wrong because it is wrong. These events are produced by the class of people that have accumulated vast wealth in a system that practices nepotism to favor the blackmailed and corrupt, so these events are paeans to corruption, because that's what is shared by the people with the lion's share of financial assets in the world.

Their principles aren't wholesome, aren't about being good to people, love, and affection. Their principles are utterly opposite. They are wrong and that's why they feel wrong.
