Thats the great thing luv, its not.
It means something completely different, a deeper actually more general human concept.
The pentagram when standing upright symbolizes the perfect human being.
Contimplate, my christian standards there was only one HUMANLY 'perfect' being.
Jesus.
Now, the pentagram is slightly off-set. representing the imprefect human-being, the 'norma'' human-being.
Now, the cross and the pentagram are both seperate GOOD symbols. myself as a Catholic follow Jesus, I as an imperfect being follow Jesus. BUT I am very open-minded.
I believe fully in the equality of every faith and belief if it is of a good set of standards.
Thus the connection of the christian and pagan holy symbols.
Each represent a good prospect, these two symbols more than any other holy symbols get the most crap from people.
They meet in the end as mortal symbols of a general faith towards a good life and a good world that is occupied and continued by imperfect human-beings who are led by perfect cpncepts and perceptions of a beautifully inhuman person/power.
That picture I did, I did unknowing of what I had created. My brother wasa wanting me to design a tattoo and I started looking at it and thinking it would make a cool tat, but he wanted something with deepset meanings, so I researched my own work piece by piece.
That is what I ended out with and it is the most deepset thing I have ever done.
So it is not contridictory at all, it fits in a unthought about way that makes perfect sense and means more than most could ever have realized =)
