Removed from category "Tetragrammaton"

A pentagram is quite a different thing than the Tetragrammaton. The Tetragrammaton is the Hebrew Name of God, written in four Hebrew letters, which is totally different from a pentagram. HHahn (talk) 12:29, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

The four Hebrew letters of the Tetragrammaton are written around the pentagram, as explained in the file description. AnonMoos (talk) 01:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, the pentagram has nothing to do with either the Jewish belief or Christianity. The fact that the five letters are the four of the Tetragrammaton plus another one, does not prove anything. Especially in a language that does not write vowels, there are more possibilites to compose different words with the same consonants.

On top of this, if you look at the links to Wiki pages that use this image, you see that most of them are related to satanism, Anton la Vey, etc. Once again: this has nothing to do with Jewish or Christianity at all! The fact that the name "Jesus" is mentioned in the file description is no proof either. There are plenty of books and other publications that are not Christian at all, but that do mention this name for some reason.

This entire image, including its desciption, being placed in the category "Tetragrammton" is a mere blasphemy toward both Jews and Christians!

Dude, you may not like how the Tetragrammaton is used, but it's an instance or use of the Tetragrammaton all the same, which is what counts for categories. It's kind of a circular version of File:Boehme-heart.jpg. Furthermore, see File:Rosycross-Tetragrammaton.svg, which also makes very explicit the connection between the Tetragrammaton YHWH and the mystic and/or occult "pentagrammaton" Y-H-Sh-W-H. Anyway, this pentagram (as opposed to the "Leviathan" one in the other image) is actually supposed to be "white" or "good", and so is not actually a Satanic symbol...

P.S. The author of Gawain and the Green Knight would be quite surprised to be told that the pentagram has nothing to do with Christianity! AnonMoos (talk) 12:04, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I created Category:Pentagrammaton for you; hope you're feeling better... AnonMoos (talk) 12:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
