I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

stuff that is old is probably racist but that doesnt mean that you should stop reading it because Bad Ideas do not deserve to be forgotten, they deserve to be slapped up on a wall and made fun of . people stupid enough to burn books dont seem to get that and instead lean towards getting mad at surface level poo poo

an argument on whether friend of the family jim is racist, forever

Like I said it doesnt come up a lot if you just read his fiction. Huck finn is more explicitly racist than any of the cthulhu mythos stories. People just like getting mad and yelling about poo poo. If they actually gave a gently caress about stopping racism, there are much better targets than a hundred+ year old dead dude who was scared of black people, science, and space.

:agreed: tho.

Another example, the demon goat devil thing is just a demonization of Pan:



:nws: cuz raunchy rear end Romans/Greeks lol: http://i.imgur.com/VQrIrav.jpg


Also Lucifer means light bringer and there's a ton of similarities between the story of his fall from heaven and the story of Prometheus.

Actually Lucifer is just a direct translation from the Hebrew name "Hillel Ben-Shachar" (shachar means dawn), mentioned in Isaiah 14:12, which probably refers to the king of Babylon and his eventual fall from grace. The verse was adapted to fit with Christian theology.

This is similar to the more famous case of Isaiah 7:14, where the Christian sources have it as "a virgin shall conceive", virgin being a translation of the Hebrew almah, which just means young woman.

Probably depends on who is translating I suppose?

quote:

Lucifer (/ˈluːsɪfər/;[1][2][3] loo-sif-ər) is the King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל in Isaiah 14:12. This word, transliterated hêlêl[4] or heylel,[5] occurs once in the Hebrew Bible[4] and according to the KJV-based Strong's Concordance means "shining one, light-bearer".[5] The Septuagint renders הֵילֵל in Greek as ἑωσφόρος[6][7][8][9][10] (heōsphoros),[11][12][13] a name, literally "bringer of dawn", for the morning star.[14] The word Lucifer is taken from the Latin Vulgate,[15] which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer,[16][17] meaning "the morning star, the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing".[18]


The OG Hebrew script prolly does come from the king of Babylon originally, but at the same time the Christian version of Satan has a a lot of similarities to the Prometheus story.

Fire - Apple
Brings knowledge to man - Brings knowledge of sin to man
Fall from Olympus - Fall from Heaven
Both defy their god
Chained to a rock for birds to eat organs for eternity - Eternal damnation

It's almost the same exact story actually.


e: although I *think* it is all based on Babylonian poo poo in the first place anyway which is prolly why they are similar to begin with
