I don't understand why pentagrams on your underwear would be offensive to you. You have them on in plain sight on your Temple (even if they aren't the masoic symbols that are stitched on your navel, and nipples.

And I don’t understand why you are so obsessed with our underwear. And not just that you’re so obsessed but so completely wrong about it to boot. And whether you call them pentagrams or stars (as in the three degrees of glory: the sun, the moon and the stars) neither of them are on our underwear. Get help. Seriously.

Your ignorance is simply frightening. The idea of the pentagram being associated with the occult is a modern invention, much like the rainbow being associated with homosexuality. That you have bought into it is more proof that you know nothing of the ancient origins of your Christian faith. The five pointed star was used anciently to represent the “Sons of God”. The six pointed star was used to represent the “fixed” stars in the heavens. Both are seen on the Temple. The inverted star is also associated with “The Morning Star”. And, no, that doesn’t mean we worship Venus. The Hebrews knew nothing about that Greek god. Its symbolism is rich in the declarations of the Son of God coming from the east, which is where that “star” is seen in the morning- heralding the return of light and knowledge. And so it carries that same symbolism. Much like Jesus Christ taught in parables so that those who had ears to hear might hear- likewise, symbols are used generously in the Temple to both reveal and conceal according to the understanding one has sought from Heavenly Father and their preparedness to receive further instruction. Sadly, you severed those bonds long ago and now all is darkness to you.
