Obscurus ace of the night Obscurus ace of the night Obscurus I remember reading somewhere that early Christians actually borrowed the Egyptian ankh for their symbol before they began using the cross. Or like the word amen, which is said at the end of prayer, is actually the name of a egyptian god. In which by saying his name every day with prayer you are really saying your prayer to him. I'm pretty sure that Akhenaten was an early proponent of monotheism (albeit sun worship, if I remember correctly). Maybe there's some connection there? Yep. It is the main reason for the day SUNday and why most churches will meet on Sunday.(because of worship of the sun god/gods) It's neat how everything just sort of comes together. Actually, "amen" means "So be it" or "So shall it be" in Hebrew. Relating it to a sun god is... weird? People typically go to church on Sunday, rather than Saturday (the Sabath), because Jesus was raised from the dead on a Sunday morning (Easter). This has nothing to do with Amen the Egyptian god neutral

This has nothing to do with Amen the Egyptian god neutral It's curious that Jesus was raised on the day of the Sun and that Akhenaten was a proponent of monotheistic sun-worship. As well as "amen" being both a Hebrew word for "So be it," and also the name of an Egyptian god. I see a connection there whether straight-line or archetypal.

If you're so interested, why not study World Religions? Haha I assure you Christians don't worship Egyptian gods or the Sun ^.^ Your interesting musings are coincidental. What's curious to me is your "interest" between the two.

What's curious to me is your "interest" between the two. Oh, I know that Christians don't worship Egyptian gods or the Sun. Christian customs and beliefs did evolve from earlier customs and beliefs though. That's why I find the connections interesting, however tenuous. It alludes to a deep human tendency to see the Sun as a Prime Divine, hence the association of many first-tier gods (and goddesses) with the Sun. I'm the kind of person that sees the similarities in things more than the differences. Similarities unite; differences divide.

No symbol is inherently evil. It depends on their purpose established by those who place it.
One could use the Eye of Providence for a personal reason. To attempt contact with the "all powerful and all seeing eye." They just act as outlets of meaning to those who are aware of them.
