I always thought it was more that angels were friggin terrifying. The "wings and halo" thing is a fairly modern conception; Originally angels were horrifying abominations.Tanni wrote:Originally, demons didn't have that much an evil connotation than they have nowadays. At least the word ''demon'' sounds very peasant to me.

Angels, as they were, were something sublime and something dreadful to gaze upon. They got turned all cute and such recently. Charubim, for example, aren't supposed to be fat kids with vestigial wings.

From a tattooist's point of view, everyone should get at least one tattoo, and the more one gets, the better! But there are lots of people who don't like getting a tattoo!Ossicone wrote:Wrong.Pe King wrote:Let me fix this therapists that is what I have a problem with.

Supermarkets want everybody to eat food, so they make money. I think most people will agree with me eating food is good.

If you know when to stop! The quality of supermarket food may not be very good, too. Better to go to the bakery.Wanderer wrote:Supermarkets want everybody to eat food, so they make money. I think most people will agree with me eating food is good.

Or both. Leviticus whips by in a haze of mitzvot, and then before you know it you're shaking in your boots as a many-angled-one touches your mouth with a hot coal. So, yeah. Angels are fucking scary. I always imagined them looking more like Safer Sephiroth than like Putti.Trailsend wrote:Only if you flip through the pages really fast.

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I once heart about a famous american indigenous term for something like ''end of the world'', denoting a big catastrophe once seemed to have happened in american indigenous history. I didn't remember that term, and it was no information given about the kind of catastrophe happened. Can you help me?

The Hopi indians have "the Return of Pahana" as their end-times prophecy, which most of which has "come true"...Tanni wrote:I once heart about a famous american indigenous term for something like ''end of the world'', denoting a big catastrophe once seemed to have happened in american indigenous history.

If by
you mean not at all, then yes it's relevant.which most of which has "come true"...
Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Well, the "prophecy" (a term which I use lightly) was only revealed in the 1950's... so it was kind of moot to reveal it when the details of the prophecy already "came true".MrKrov wrote:If byyou mean not at all, then yes it's relevant.which most of which has "come true"...

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
means something here. As in nothing at all of it has come true unless you got some secret and radically different version. I care not when when it was made. You're full of it is what I'm saying.not at all

None of which is relevant to the original question.
And anyway prophecies are usually so vague they can be interpreted to fit any point in history that they are brought to attention in.

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
It was an indian indigenous language term, just one word, IIRC, and it was somewhat longer than the typical English words. And it refered to a historical event most likely in pre-columbian time. It could have been something like an ecological and/or social desaster.Bristel wrote:The Hopi indians have "the Return of Pahana" as their end-times prophecy, which most of which has "come true"...Tanni wrote:I once heart about a famous american indigenous term for something like ''end of the world'', denoting a big catastrophe once seemed to have happened in american indigenous history.
