Hey, adapt and overcome! Which is why I mostly paint.... LOL.... those Iron Warriors and Vampire Counts armies will probably be finished sometime around 7th and 9th editions, respectively ;-)

Oooh, good call. Add "anything by Pedro the Lion to the list :-)

Wasn't the point. The point was, the way some folks equate homosexuality with every kind of sexual perversion is flat out lying.

Oooh, good call. Transmission and Isolation are also good ones....

Sadly that's the nature of internet forums in general.... heh... it's from a short story. One of the characters is a sculptor who makes things out of garbage and scrap, calls himself Gomi no Sensei, which the story translated as "Master of junk/garbage". Given some of my artistic endeavors...

1: Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 2: A Quitter - Rasputina 3: People Ain't No Good - also Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (as heard in Shrek 2!) 4: When I Go - Over The Rhine 5: Mary's Waltz - Over The Rhine Okay, this is a narrow list of artists but this is off...

How so.... nyo? (sorry, LOL... just put 2 and 2 together with your icon :D )

As Luthor said, "I can't stop the birds from flying over my head, but I can stop them from building a nest in my hair".

I should clarify..... in their original mythological/folkloric frameworks, gnomes/mermaids/salamanders weren't considered elementals. Some more modern magic systems treat them that way (basically treating them as metaphorical symbols for elementals or somesuch), but old european cultures just...

You're right..... I always get the greek and roman names mixed up :-p

Precisely!! :clap:

Actually only 2 of them are. Thing is demons exist. Gnomes don't. That's my point.

Yes we do. But for me part of that is looking at and testing everything, finding God's fingerprints in the wider world where I can. As opposed to throwing out anything "marked" by a non-Christian culture and calling it demonic. If one's going to do that, one needs to find different names for...

I am using common sense. My point is I see no reason, based on Scripture or common sense, to believe that the various monsters and gods in world mythology are actually demons (implying that Satyrs, Centaurs, Fairies, Goblins Oni, Vampires etc. actually exist and are agents of Satan), or that...

1) I've been a Christian for a few years, Rock. I know about being called to Holiness. 2) Please define the "appearance of evil". Paul said to "avoid evil wherever it appears", but a lot of people misapply the KJV translation of that verse (that being 1 Thessalonians 5:22). We ARE talking...

*double-posted. Sorry :blush: *

Yes, but my point is I don't see biblical backing for the idea that pictures of mythological creatures are "demonic".

PreCISely. IIRC, little girls are sexually abused more often than boys, and typically by a member of the opposite sex. Unfortunately, the preconceptions of pedophiles as "dirty old men" or gay men trawling for little boys are largly flat out wrong. (and before anyone mentions NAMBLA...

I think there's a big difference between pictures of mythological creatures and pictures of demons, as well as a difference between elements from a false religion and "demonic things". I don't think a picture of an Oni or Kappa constitutes "demonic content", in part because that implies that...

I did. Growing up and as a very new Christian, all I heard in my parents' church was "sex before marriage is bad". I never got any council until some time in college about the good and Godly purpose of human sexuality and how to treat it correctly, beyond "don't have sex before marriage". It...
