    Heh. I’m entirely serious though. The sun god is easily one of the most important Pagan gods. Constantine, who founded the Catholic church, believed that Christ was the sun god come to Earth. It would not at all be out of place if that’s literally what it’s supposed to represent.

      Sorry for the shitpost then.

      More seriously, probably a representation of the masonic supreme being, I would guess.

        the masonic supreme being

        Also the sun god, or ‘logos’ as I’ve heard it, referring once again to Christ.

        And no need to apologize for a funny joke!

              A star? That’s Jesus.

              A lamb? Also Jesus.

              A lily? Still Jesus.

              A pelican? Believe it or not, Jesus.

                I mean, if you actually studied human history you might gain an appreciation for just how important the sun god has been in the development of society.

                The morning star is more of a title. The angel Lucifer was the morning star, but Christ claimed (or will claim) the title as his own in the sense that he preceds the return of God’s light. There is a reoccurring motif, especially in Revelation that Jesus exists to put right what Satan put wrong.

                Well, that’s according to the lucifarians that I’ve talked with. They seem to follow more of the gnostic interpretation of Christ than the Catholic one.
