Do you believe things because you think those things are true?
Or do you believe the things you do because you fear the implications of the alternatives?
Hint: If you EVER say "I'd like to believe X", then you can be sure that you're not seeking after the truth.
Instead of dismissing that which you disagree with, I would suggest just doing an honest search for the truth. It takes a lot of courage to do that because you'll have to come to terms with the fact that you were wrong about some things. Just pursue the truth and have the courage to follow it, despite the implications. I once believed like you do right now.
Pattern recognition is a sign of intelligence - not ignorance.

We ALL construct false truths for ourselves. It's part of the fallen human condition. Our job is to find these lies and weed them out of our lives. The fact that you're so quick to deny even the possibility that you have this flaw is a good indicator that you've got some blindness in this area. Swallow your pride a little bit. None of have it all figured out. Myself included.
Regarding the Bible and truth - yes, it is true. I just don't buy into your dispensationalism.

Star of David, Hebrew Magen David (“Shield of David”), Magen also spelled Mogen, is a Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star. It appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the State of Israel. The symbol—which historically was not limited to use by Jews—originated in antiquity, when, side by side with the five-pointed star, it served as a magical sign or as a decoration.
In the Middle Ages the Star of David appeared with greater frequency among Jews but did not assume any special religious significance; it is found as well on some medieval cathedrals. The term Magen David, which in Jewish liturgy signifies God as the protector (shield) of David, gained currency among medieval Jewish mystics, who attached magical powers to King David’s shield just as earlier (non-Jewish) magical traditions had referred to the five-pointed star as the “seal of Solomon.” Kabbalists popularized the use of the symbol as a protection against evil spirits.
The Jewish community of Prague was the first to use the Star of David as its official symbol, and from the 17th century on the six-pointed star became the official seal of many Jewish communities and a general sign of Judaism, though it has no biblical or Talmudic authority. The star was almost universally adopted by Jews in the 19th-century as a striking and simple emblem of Judaism in imitation of the cross of Christianity.
The yellow badge that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe invested the Star of David with a symbolism indicating martyrdom and heroism.

I would say the six pointed star was adopted by kabbalists which were a certain group of jews, certainly doenst represent all jews as not all subscribe to mysticism.
Solomon used it as his seal and he became involved in divination via his many wives.
The proliferation of this symbol is a concern now it has become associated with judaism, the zionists adopting it. when the nazis had forced the jews to wear it, they did not really have good associations with it, as it was wearing this symbol that actually condemened them.
is it mark of the beast? the hexagram number is 666. it has six sides, six points and six corners.
