Only commoners think all roads lead to Rome. In the fractional reserve universe, of which terrestrial economics is a vassal, all roads lead to Harare. Don't blame the all seeing eye: you keep voting for the scum that leech you dry.

Hexagonal snowflakes reflect 6 but I also see 1, 3, 7, 8, 21, 28, 720, 5040, one week--and Unity.
Nature's language is Number and here we see one example. One is everything, everywhere, everywhen, such as the six points of this snowflake and the central point representing 7, God's favorite number. This is where we get the 7 days of the week, the 7 chakras, the 7 notes of the musical scale, 7 primary colors, lucky 7. The Creator made Heaven & Earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Seven is the Eternal Virgin because within the first 10 numbers (aside from Unity) nothing penetrates it, nor does it multiply with other numbers in the decad to make another number cleanly. 7! = 5040, the combined radii of Earth and Moon in miles. 5040 x 2 = 10080, the number of minutes in a week.
Six is the number of the world and 6! = 720, a magic number used to create the Kosmos (Greek gematria value = 600) from the Cosmological Circle diagram--the squared circle is the basis and the link is on your right. 720 is the sum of the 12 x 60 degree angles in the first Platonic volume, the tetrahedron. The other four volumes are also children of 720. 6 is also two copulating triangles, male and female revealing the sexy nature of the universe. Think of endless opposites: summer and winter, spring and fall, night and day, hot and cold, dry and wet... 6 is a "perfect" number because it is the clean sum of its divisors: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 On a good day--and with the deliberately engineered unfolding global depression this is getting harder for many of us--ever get the feeling there is something inherently perfect about the Kosmos? Perfectly sexy 6 provides major clues. If you still can't find any, try looking in the 6 directions, up & down, east & west, north & south.
As we see here http://www.plotinus.com/gnostic_jesus_copy.htm a hexagon is also a cube. We see the relationship between 6 and 8: a cube has 6 sides and 8 corners. In this same David Fideler link, we see in the diagram the Spiritual Sun hiding behind God's day of rest, the point in the middle of the hexagram, the 7th day, or the physical sun.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. Twenty-eight is another perfect number because it is the sum of its divisors, 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14.
The world meets in a snowflake.
Six is the number of the world. It is also a couple of copulating triangles. Life is a mostly unacknowledged giant fuckfest. Six doesn't sound like sex for nothing. 666 is the physical sun. It is male, power hungry, wealthy and without the balancing influence of 1,080, the power of luna, it is totalitarian. No wonder the Illuminati worship 666. You don't have to study Freud to know that sex, sex, sex is always on man's mind. Bring art, fun, harmony, and balance back to life: Viva Khajuraho!

Don't just look at the pretty picture. Get a compass, straightedge, pencil and graph paper. Start creating yourself. Begin with Albrecht Durer's pentagram and hexagram http://www.geomancygroup.org/pentagram.html.
Pentagrams and hexagrams aren't evil. They are encoded in the universe. They manifest in many places such as flowers (p & h), the 8-year long pentagram-forming orbit of Venus around the Sun as seen from Earth, honeycombs (h), any set of seven identically-sized round objects (h), and Saturn's north pole (h). Now stretch your arms out, stand with feet apart and head up high (p).

The perfect Ratio of 1:1.618 that occurs everywhere in Nature. In this example I used the Corona (Latin for Crown) of a Stapelia schinzii var. schinzii flower (from Namibia, Africa), to illustrate Nature's divine Ratio. The Inner and Outer Corona, and Corolla Lobes (Petals) all conform to this exact Ratio.
The Golden Ratio (or Golden Mean) can be found in everything from human anatomy, to a nautilus shell, butterflies, insects, plants and flowers.
Architects used this formula (π / Phi) from the Parthenon to the Pyramids, and Renaissance Artists like Leonardo da Vinci used it for the Composition of the Mona Lisa.

John the Baptist is the last of the Old Testament prophets, according to the New Testament, and paves the way for the Messiah. "He must increase, but I must decrease." John, 3:30. John baptizes Christ and recognizing the Messiah tells him he needs baptizing from Him. Christ then preaches in Galilee while John does so in the Jordan Valley. Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Perea and Galilee arrests him. Herod's daughter Solome demands John be beheaded. What follows is what you see in Moreau's painting. (Salome is the woman standing.)

The christian conception of feminine sexuality turns on the opposition between virgin (good) and whore (bad).
This is very different from pre-Christian goddess worship.
The Goddess, in her many guises and manifestations, was the most holy figure on earth for thousands of years and yet she has been so successfully eradicated that the majority of western women have simply no idea that she even existed, let alone had the religous awe and captivating power that she emanated.
The return to goddess worship could be a reaction to the objectification of women on the internet and pornography in general.

Animated Documentary-Mockumentary about Evil in western civilization from Ancient Greece to present day.
After all the comments I feel like some clarification is in order, but firstly, to you guys that liked it:
Thanks, you've made my day.
The film was intended to show what people have believed in and pointed to as evil throughout history. It was meant to get you to think about what evil really is. It is meant to show that when we get too obsessed with "evil" we might end up taking part in it ourselves.
One has to separate evil and human cruelty. Human cruelty is people not being nice to one another. Evil is soemthing else, it is something we have created, a word and a concept for things that are not acceptable. It is a label for things that we do not understand and dont want to understand.
But is evil really ever a complete explanation for anything?
A lot of bad deeds has been done in the name of good. The people that did them ment good, are they evil?
OK, and finally,
This video is not meant to:
-blame wester culture and people for all the "evil" in the world. I'm european, and thought that I better stick to my own history.
-blame religion for all the evil in the world.
-claim that God is dead. (It is simply a reference to the philosopher Nietzsce, look him up.)
-offend anyone, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
-claim that Elvis was evil.
-be an exact and complete account of the actual events that has taken place throughout history.
This was a student project, hence the "unfinishedness" and abrupt ending. I ran out of time. I might update it later.
It was animated frame by frame in flash and composited and textured in AfterEffects.
