	The new fiery jewel with it's pentagram item? Once again it is being shown with blood and murder........... Ugh.

	I'm not because they have other items that shows the pentagram not in blood. And the people on here that use it with the blood tend to do it to be edgy. Plus the pentagram is not a symbol of just one religion. What I find funny though is they recolored the Sylveon item black and red cat_whee

	But I'm trying to think of a time when they used a cross in a bad way, and I don't think there is one.

	Musical_Vampire_Socks what is the name of the actually item? i wish they used a different color then red for the symbol i have seen them use red before green with some leaves would have been much nicer, yeah i agree i wish they had made it diffrent I'm still trying to figure out the name of the item. I'm less up set with the red (my favorite color) and more so with the bloody hand prints and streaks of blood.

	Teagen Sirrus But I'm trying to think of a time when they used a cross in a bad way, and I don't think there is one. That's because there is no way to use the cross in a "bad way" just like there is really no way to use the pentagram in a "bad way". Plus the Satanists on this site would rather go for the pentagram over the cross anyway. Which is good because the ones that go for the cross usually don't understand the history behind it.

I guess, but they tag the items with hell and demonic. Which just perpetuates bad stereotypes yet again.

I can guarantee you that not all items on here with the pentagram are not tagged demonic or hell. And this is the last I'm going to say because you're not giving any thought to what I've been saying anyway.

I've had a really crappy week (I had a client attack me and then try to get me fired for attacking him, luckily I had a co-worker and a camera that proved I did nothing but duck and defend myself.) and I guess that item at that moment just rubbed me the wrong way, and if it had been at any other time I would have just shrugged it off. Thanks for chatting with me! Even if I frustrated you sweatdrop

	I've been away for a little bit thanks to laptop troubles so I totally missed this item. Personally I don't mind it so much because there seems to be an equal balance of 'nice' Pagan stuff and 'not so nice' Pagan stuff. The reason they probably wouldn't do the same with some of the more Christian flavoured items is because Gaia more than likely employs Christians, and the bulk of the people who use this site are probably either Christian or athiest.

	Does anyone know the name of it at all?

	Well the CI's name is Fiery Jewel...but I don't think that pentagram item came with it. Here's the original announcement and here's an item list. I did a quick check and I could not see the item in question with any of the items involved.

Very true, however, I think I remember seeing a bit of negative associations in a few (like 1 or 2) Christian-themed items- but it was subtle (e.g.: in the description, but still seeming like a regular Christian item). I'm just trying to remember what it was... :/
