Those are Ophanim, giant flaming wheels with eyes, who support the chariot of god according to Ezekiel.



Only the lowest level of angel is supposed to look human, and even them that's not consistent across all sources. Winged humanoids were a Roman motif that got worked into Christianity as it spread throughout the empire.

Angels are really, really not a major topic of discussion in the Bible. The number of supernatural characters in the book not named "God" is actually pretty low, and tons of our heaven/hell imagery comes more from Dante than anything.

I hope they keep making more weird old testament movies. We're getting Exodus, but I'd love something like Elisha. Some kids made fun of him for being bald, so he had God send a bear to devour them.

Elijah would make for a pretty decent movie too.

Well angels play a big part in the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. God sends angels as messengers and all the men in town gather around Lot's house to gang rape them. Lot, being the holy man he is, offers his two teenage virgin daughters to be gang raped by the whole city to protect the angels. But it's cool, the town says no, they'd rather rape angels. Then fireballs come down from the sky while Lot and his family play City Escape (level 1). But then Lot's wife turns around (which she was STRICTLY told NOT to do) and becomes a pillar of salt.

The story ends with Lot's daughters assuming they're the last three people alive on earth (because they're dumb). They decide they need to repopulate the earth. So they get their father drunk and rape him. They get preggers and pop out children named Moab (leader of the Moabites) and Ben-Ammi (leader of the Ammonites).

It's 21st century Hollywood. They're going to go through with the sequel, but it's not going to faithfully follow the source because (a) we can't have nice things, and (b) see "a".

They'd better, as that's the whole point of the story - that there are no "good" people and "bad" people - we're all both at once, and separating the world into "them" and "us" is pointless.

Renaissance art was commissioned by the rich and powerful of the time. The images of Christ, the angels, and other good biblical characters were modelled on the commissioner and their friends and family. The images of demons and tortured souls in hell were modelled after the commissioner's enemies.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I assume the "I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face" is supposed to say "I like your smile, but I won't like you if you step on my face."

I think it makes sense; it's a vaguely humorous and interesting way to say "keep off the grass", and maybe being different is enough to get people to not ignore it. I don't think "tiny grass is dreaming" and "the grass is smiling at you" are even mistranslated.

I think it's pretty much that, basically "I like your smile, I dislike you stepping on my face". Verb conjugation is hard for Chinese speakers. Also interestingly that's 100% not even close to what the Chinese says ("[This] tiny grass is alive, please be compassionate").

quote:

The "tiny grass is dreaming" one is weird, because even in Chinese it's all kinds of hosed. "The grass is smiling at you" could also be translated as "The grass is smiling at you, asking you to go around". But essentially yeah, they're both pretty neat and do their job - you're not going to forget or not notice them, after all.

My guess is that she's pulled, and just dashed off to the loo to shave because she didn't bother doing so before she headed out for the night. (I know girls who have done this.)
