The Star and Crescent

I'm a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Our badge (membership pin) is referred to as the Star and Crescent. By chance (looking at the back of a Kappa Sigma desk calendar), I was reminded of our ideals. Specifically:

The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman ... a man of honor and courage ... a man of zeal, yet humble ... an intelligent man ... a man of truth ... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God.

I can't think of a more succinct statement of the type of man I'm trying to become.

Here is another theological question for you. You have one man who has lead a pious life ever since he was a small child. You have another man who has commited murder. The pious man assumes he will get into heaven and is close to God. The murderer prostrates himself before God and begs for forgiveness. Who gets into heaven? Different religions and I don't know the answers for all of them think differently.....ect....
