Gripweed posted:Im tired of people talking about biblically accurate angels. It's just one of those dumb meme things. Angels show up all the time in the Bible as normalish dudes, but because Ezekiel saw some Wheels within wheels every trivia brained dullard feels the need to let you onto the psuedo-esoteric knowledge they've picked up.

Well the point is that angels are not nice people who went to heaven and got wings. They were created directly by God before he created the world. Satan is an angel.

Everything in a Monotheistic faith was created by God. It's only when you get into Dualism or Gnostic thought that says some things were made by a bad dude version of God as well.

Christianity is a weird one because it's a monotheistic religion whose leaders spent hundreds of years attempting to explain how one logically be both fully human and fully divine. They probably would have loved the idea of the half button press in Mario 64 speedruns.

She also originated from a satirical poem from around a thousand years ago. She’s, in the timescale of Judaism, not all that old

Adam and Eve were the first created by God, but later when Cain is cast out he goes to live with a bunch of other folks God created I guess sometime between Eve and the Abel Incident.

doverhog posted:Love the confidence that the thousand year old poem is somehow a less reliable source than what ever other sources you have from that time and/or before. I mean, yeah? That's literally a basic tenet of historiography. Sources closer to the event tend to be more accurate that sources from hundreds of years afterwards. There are exceptions of course and you need to account for the political and social pressures faced by the writers at the time, and you should see what's better supported by the archaeology and other sources, etc. But it's still a decent guiding rule of thumb. And if we're talking about a poem from 1,000 years ago, early medieval sources are not typically known for their accuracy about classical history.

In Norse mythology the first Humans, Askur and Embla, are made from driftwood that Odin and his less famous brothers find on a beach while exploring the planet they just crafted from the corpse of a primordial giant that is in some versions kinda sorta their great grandfather. . Because of this the old Norse word for undead/ghost was Draugr which means wooden log or dead tree.

Here's a lovely kind of elitist opinion: I wish people made their own jokes instead of just parroting a phrase or something from a meme. People treat these like "inside jokes" but it's not an inside joke if everyone on the Internet has seen it. Biblically accurate angel -- interesting connection you made there, first time I saw it!

People treat these like "inside jokes" but it's not an inside joke if everyone on the Internet has seen it. Biblically accurate angel -- interesting connection you made there, first time I saw it! There are fundamental differences between trying to be funny, parroting a phrase, and sharing a meme. I agree that making your own jokes is more effective when you're actually trying to be funny. That said, reposting a meme is more like saying "here's this thing I saw that I thought was funny" than actually trying to be funny. As far as parroting phrases goes, are you talking about in general, on Facebook, or on the forums? If you're talking about the forums, I don't see how our catchphrases could not be considered an inside joke. The forums aren't nearly as ubiquitous as Facebook, the catchphrases require at least a LITTLE context, and they definitely (usually) seem more like "here's this silly thing we all know about that I thought was apropos" than actually trying to be funny.

I like the parroting of phrases of SA stuff because that is sort of an inside joke we're all part of. In real life I get the same annoyance whenever someone mentions Scarface and then we all gotta do our Scarface impressions and bond over it like it's not a ubiquitous thing.

part of the charm of that particular social bonding ritual is that everyone does it slightly differently and also badly, so you get to bond over being bad at something together (unless you practice, in which case you're a freak! a freak i say!!!!)
