You mean other than all the crosses?
It's pretty obvious Lang was trying to make a point here.

You're kidding, right? That's all you do.
You are not very self-aware, are you? I'll grant you that you are very intelligent. But your arrogance and superior, know-it-all attitude kills it and makes you ugly.
Nothing personal, dear, but you just have a bad personality all around. It's very unattractive and off-putting. You have no sense of humor. *Snickering* to yourself is not a sense of humor. Taking things in the light hearted sense they are offered and the ability to laugh at yourself and make others laugh, is.
I suggest you grow one.
There. That is my attempt at helping the human race, one old crone at a time.
No.
Of course you have. You're like 97 or something, right? You've known that word since before electricity.
That's not the point. You saw me use it in a post and ten minutes later you used it. You are a dirty copycatter and I will not stand for it.
Someone like you that has to dumb herself down to converse with us mere mortals can use her own damn words, I expect.
The apple represents KNOWLEDGE, GOD didn't want then to have.
Even though there are many people, a bit later in Genesis, Adam and Eve were alone in the Garden of Eden, so just WHO did Eve have sexual congress with, besides Adam, and what was her payment? And don't say the apple!
Your egregious inferred defamation is now beyond the pale.
How many girls and women have you had sexual congress with, devoid of a sanctified, legal marriage ?
Not that there are many hard up females in the world who would consent to doing the act with you, I trow.
You're a nasty little child, inside of an adult's body, and a pervert to boot.
Misused word ( “feminism” ) for a SUFFRAGIST Movement.
You need a class in reading comprehension. Go reread what I wrote.
"When they go low, we go high," is not a Hillary phrase. It's a Mooch phrase.
Do you even follow politics?
Just curious.
The apple represented knowledge, yes. It also represented acknowledgment of their nakedness and shame of that nakedness. Someone less naïve than you can conclude that it represented sexual knowledge and to take it a step further, virtue. The eating of the apple represented a loss of innocence AND virtue.
Come on, lady. Use that big brain you won't stop bragging about.
There are many lessons to be learned from the stories in the Bible. And many ways of interpreting them.
You mean other than all the crosses?
It's pretty obvious Lang was trying to make a point here.
>>No, it hasn’t and neither has “human nature” changed any since the dawn of time!
And that’s what Lang’s artwork - festooned with Masonic and religious symbolism, is illustrating.
Human nature is a cycle.
Sure the state-of-the-art technology changes, but the collective tendency to worship those created things... it can be seen persistently repeating throughout history.
>>Do you always throw Bible verses at people, no matter what the topic of conversation is?
Do I?
XX + XX = FAIL
XY + XY = FAIL
XX + XY = Human
The thing about women being the "civilizing influence" is actually rather a newish invention, but yes, it DID work most of the time.
OTOH...religions, of all kinds, and sometimes "the state" were the means of imposing rules and civility upon mankind, before that; though many times that didn't work either.
In ancient Sumeria, there were such laws governing behavior.
August tried,too, by laws, which only sort of worked, but didn't last past his death.
The Ancient Jews had religion and religious laws.
The Catholic church had a massive amount of laws, which many have now been changed or just ignored.
The Protestants, too had rules/religious laws. Most of which have now, also been subsumed into ridiculous acceptance of garbage like same sex "marriage". *spit*
And last, but most assuredly not least, your constant, unremitting attack on me, as a stand in for the lunatic Feminazi harridans, is disgusting beyond words.
Misuse of a word which proved nothing at all.
I don't have an ilk. I am singular.
I'm Batman.
Get someone else to "FIX" the sentence as well as yourself.
>>Many thanks for those links!
The “links” were generic searches for the relevant terms:
Metropolis Occult Symbolism
>>I did post about the Thune Society and others in Germany

It’s all related.
Well actually, harridan. I initially attacked your defense of feminism. You began the personal attacks. Go back and check if you don't believe me. I realize that you aren't a so called "feminazi" but you do defend it.
I'm all about first wave feminism. It's the second and most especially the third wave I have a major problem with. Those ideologies are destroying us. You don't seem to see that and see an attack on feminism as an attack on women. You are wrong in that.
And your lashing out at men who hold my position is bizarre for a conservative woman.
That's my take.
You are not a kind and generous woman.
You are not a helper.
The whole ‘knowledge’ reference in that story has also made me wonder about that too. Since in the bible the words of ‘knowing/knowledge’ in a relationship often referred to sexual intimacy.
