Lamb of God: Horus, Christ, and the Labarum

The development of the Sun-god archetype in Early Christianity was shaped by the preceding language and symbolism of Egyptian and Greco-Roman religions. When Constantine first beheld the vision of the labarum, the prevailing patterns of syncretism had already provided a shape and direction for the form that the early Christian Sun-god would take. It was represented by the Greek symbol of Chi-Rho.…

Friendly reminder to everyone that biblically accurate angels also include angels that look like men. Not all angels appear as terrifying multi eyed thingies. “Be not afraid” is not said only when they appear as terrifying multi eyed thingies. You would also be freaked out if a beautiful man appeared to you whilst you were alone in your house praying to God.

WHAT’S YOUR ELDRITCH LUCIFER’S PERSONALITY LIKE?? Sorry if this question makes no sense

Tbh I cooked up a whole narrative for it (because I'm dying to fill non-existent lore)... But it's so long and scattered so I'll yap about it someday.

Anyway, here are the ideas I revolve with:

All of these are just from random thoughts focusing on the ' BAD ' side + curiosity idk " my physical shell can be torn apart, smothered, stretched, bent by my own mind " (Angel Lucifer): Innocent face, underlying horror. (Canon/demon Lucifer): One body, that feels like two souls.

- somehow I can connect this with the ideas in Angel Luci's behavior LOL im too sleepy to fix a timeline for it atm.

Evil is a part of him that can't be erased so he learned to overcome it, but never fully accepted it. So upon his silly demeanor, beneath are the true reasons why he is banished from heaven. Sob story? Yeah, that's what they believe in...

Bro lives with this eternal punishment and I'm about to make that reason worse.

Ted saying that no driver has had this level of attention on them since Michael Schumacher...

Gentlemen, a short view into the past; Max's debut season, his Red Bull debut, the literal rule changed as a result of his debut in the sport... oh and everyone and their mother calling Kimi Max 2.0 and Toto's second chance at signing debut!Max since he failed the first time around...

this fandom's contempt for alicent's relationship to her faith is something else. i kinda get it, seeing as we're living in a society (at least in the west) that has moved progressively further and further away from religion, but like all things about this show that would be better if we put on our medieval sensibility goggles......there is nothing wrong about alicent's commitment to the faith of the seven. like. believing and clinging to and trying to observe the faith of her late mother is not a point against her that you can gleefully make without looking like an idiot, i can't believe i have to say it. and whether or not she is "living up to her standards" or "being a hypocrite" is neither here nor there. if a woman who was manipulated by her father into marrying an old ass man while still a girl, forced to share his bed and have his children, who had no friends and no one present she could actually trust wants to put on a seven-pointed star and wear it as part of her armor and go to the sept on the regular to pray, then she fucking deserves it!!!! this is why religion exists, you absolute heathens!!!!
