    It's actually pretty simple: Ancient people were just plain superstitious and ignorant.

    Or in other words: they were very stupid.

    • They believed that "sacrafice would please god.. (maybe make it rain?)" Can you imagine your zerglings pulling this shit? I'd delete them immediately for being so freaking wasteful and stupid! (Apparently stupid people thought god had a nose sniffing around on earth and he "liked the smell" of burning flesh. Pretty weird stuff.)
    • They believed in "dragons"- becuase they were ignorant and stupid.
    • They believed in a "chosen one" - again, because they were ignorant and stupid.

    It's fun, really. Imagine playing Age of Empires and your empire is the ancient Jews.... Everytime you get a shipment of food, they burn half of it to keep you happy and the dragon away! Wouldn't that make you happy?

    So that means The Bible likens satan to some mith, or something people thought up out of their ignorance... That cant be right to do that can it.....

    So that means to liken satan to a dragon in todays times, doesnt mean anything to us... And For it to mean anything you would have to have an understanding of other miths and stuff??

    Awesome references! I can remember the squishy noise the zerglings make now. (Must go and play starcraft now!)

    Funny I was just remembering a buddy of mine that had a dragon. It's name was Puff, and it was a magic dragon. They lived down by the sea and they used to frolic in the ocean mist........

    This is slightly profane, so NSFW but it illustrates the points about the dragons quite nicely.

    What i want to know, is if there were never any bones or evidence found that dragons existed,

    It was never meant to be a real being....Where's your imagination? it is like the Balrog in Lord of The Rings.....a fearsome fiction intended to represent evil.

    Hintoflime......These "stupid" ancient peoples built The pyramids and constructed Empires.....

    Why hasn't Ziddina commented on this thread yet? I would have thought this subject is right up her street!

    You're right! The dragon of revelation may very well have been based on THAT she-devil.
