First, where does a Christian gets the meaning of the pentacle is from satan? You know what I mean, a star with a circle around it. They perceived the pentacle as from Satan. I read about those things that the pentacle is a symbol of pagan worshipper such as wiccan religion. Pagan is the first religion before Christian came. There is no satan during that time because they are all Pagan, like from Wiccan religion. Christian came and conquered Paganism and started calling those pentacle, a star with a circle around it that it came from satan.
Is this because Paganism oppose the Christian God so that's why, they invented the word satan to a star with circle around it? Is satan invented only by Christians because Paganism oppose the Christian God?
I am just curious. What's wrong with the Christian people who don't like people who were Paganism at that time? Is because they perceive Paganism as came from satan? How did they know that Paganism were worshipping satan. I don't understand. Now a days, do Christians still hate Pagan people?
How did satan came up from the Christian believers?

Early Christians stole most of the current festivals and symbols from the previous religions. What you are describing has nothing whatsoever to do with Satan or Christianity.
If any Christians believe in this symbol - then very simply, they are NOT Christians!

I think you are so right Lotterylover. I think it is shear ignorance, not knowing about idols or customs of other religions. I make it a point to learn more not only to understand better but also to understand my own religion and the origins of some customs Christians have.

The Bible doesn't talk about the Pentacle or anything else that is symbolic, not even some of the symbolic Christian symbols. Alot of people (Christians and non Christians a like) tend to think that the Pentacle is Satanic is probably because of media and the shear fact of not understanding. Many Christians think things they dont understand is Satanic some sects of Christianity would even say dancing is satanic. Not every Christian believes this nor do every Christian hate Pagans. I know I dont.

Actually I curious you said about pentacle wheather mentioned or not in the bible. I will check it out. Satan came out to Christian world because it is mentioned in the bible, in the book of Job 1:7 onwards. Her is the adversary of God according to the bible.
Not really hates to the pagans, Christians are open to share about God to them because they don't have god but they persist to accept might be.
