	As there is a song on the [[Soundtrack (Season 4)\|Season 4 soundtrack]] called "The Cult of Baltar", is this really just a BSG wiki [[BW:TERM\|descriptive term]] anymore, or can it be considered official?

			:A good question. On the other hand, the BSG 3 soundtrack uses "All Along the Watchtower" and not our descriptive term (given that no one ever names "[[The Music]]"). I'd keep it as a descriptive term but note McCreary's use of it (and maybe note Roslin's name for it when calling out [[Tory Foster]]'s behavior). --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 22:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

JubalHarshaw: Is this still a descriptive term?

	Does anyone else think the cult's symbol looks like a modified version of the Aries astrological symbol? I just kind of assumed it was sort of expanding the general early Christianity allusions that pervade the cult, by taking a symbol of their oppression (not that Aries and Ares are the same, but using something maybe associated with the Sons of Ares like early Christians adopted the cross) and subverting it as a symbol of solidarity. Probably going out on a limb there, but I see a ram in that symbol.
