We think it’s a cute child with a bow. In Roman days the bow was deadly and would be seen as a weapon as we would view an AK or AR. Furthermore falling in love was seen as leading to tragedy and loss of reasoning.

To them, Cupid was an irresponsible child with an AK47 randomly shooting innocent men to their destruction.

He’s from Greek mythology.

However, yes, he’s been commercialized as something he never was...

Cupid caused global warming, social injustice, and knocked over my trash cans!

We kicked St. Valentine off the Catholic General Roman Calendar in ‘69.

I didn’t expect ya’ll to create demon fear on Valentine’s day, but should have. Thieves of fun and joy.
Prior to St Valentine the holiday was called Lupercalia.

There is no Cupid. However, I must acknowledge the demons that I exorcize from my body while sitting on the toilet. Happy VD everyone!

“Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me an’ you told me boldly
That some day, well, I’ll be blue”

-Buddy Holly, “That’ll Be the Day”
