I saw the movie Dragonslayer in the theatres when it came out. I thought it was awesome and had the coolest looking dragon, even by today's CGI standards.The way it moved and flew looked so realistic considering the model and stop motion technique used to film it
'course I was a kid at the time and such things intrigued me
Dragons? Where is Zid?
Zid is offline until Sept/Oct. I've been updating her on all the dragon talk. She is sorry she is missing it.
Did I ever mention that my real name is Daenerys Tagaryen?
Justitia - I love the series and I want to get the books.
As for these winged creatures/angles/visions/ .... well you see my take on the bible is figurative / spiritual. All these kind of things along with a host of others symbolise our state of consciousness and are not literal. The bible is not literal...it simply can't be, otherwise, well many many a scripture would just be absolutely horrible (stoning children, cutting up people and sending a limb to each tribe, rape, torture - all in gods name)
LouB,
"All these kind of things along with a host of others symbolise our state of consciousness"
Yep,, to identify with them as literal can cause ego inflation and a host of other problems.
LouBelle - if the biblical attrocities were literal would you reject it?
Wow Aguest you sure are hilarious, I love reading your posts they always make me laugh, your a class act in your obvious attempt to try to' put some light' on this subject, and with kindness, I felt it in your opening paragraph. I truly think it is just your intent to be 'seen/heard' and your exacting ( but to me still mainly peaceable and with good will) personality is an acquired taste, often misinterprated.
My father whom I loved, he was always pissed off at me for being to 'airy fairy' with talk that did'nt make sense to him because he was a VERY practical man,a cold hard facts man, his handshake was set in stone type of guy. Sadly we just did'nt get each other, fought all the time yet to this day he is still the man I have the most respect for in my whole life's experiences by the way he conducted himself in life.
Ammo - if you find AG hilarious then that is odd. Care to point out any of her funnies? This board is seemingly overun with odd these days.
Hi Q, I don't want to 'Get into it" with you but yeah I find her very funny, I read her stuff and hear it in a Julian Clary voice and piss myself, if you can't see the humor, I can't help you, seeing all this well interactions -quite heated as well- seem quite simply put a case of completely differant realms of emotions within ourselves, some people only think and react or purposely navigate a path, throughly governed by thought and logic alone-fair enough, but does that make it the only path to conclusion, or even the more superior just because of its mental transperancy. I don't think so, thats about all I got for now, I just got home, had a bong and jumped on here but I am bailing as I could regret what I'm saying ....at a later date soooo Have a good one
That well what ever it is i offered on a plate above :-)) to you is just my personal view, I realize it may be too simplistic and quite possibly up for ridicule, I apologize in advance to AGuest for associating and sullying her name by my perhaps, unintended ignorance.........sire.....
