The way the pentagram is used today is truly ridiculous. It seems people tend to pursue this design more for aesthetic purposes than anything else. Just draw a Pentagram and arbitrary assign its points five baseless values, pay no mind to the effect. It is a child's plaything. Aside from that...
Imagine if I were to make a complete copy of your entire physical body, down to the last atom, which would have your exact memories and thought processes, then have you interact with that copy. Then imagine if I were to destroy the original you, where would your conscious go?

This is the age of fertility. This is the age at which most pregnancies...
The system doesn't rely on eugenics to meet its goal. It simply cuts off an energy which does not desire to perpetuate. No gene modification required.
About it being "sinful", I'm not exactly the type of person you would find kneeling at a pew.
I don't believe in ghosts per se, but I do believe in energy or charged residue of living or once living entities. To call that a ghost is a bit of a stretch.
