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!
