  As above  
  Asmodeth. Lilith. Loki. Lucifer. Hera...    My Livejournal||My Ultimate Game collection||Necro-File''s Lair of Despair;  Hey. All the names of my computers are listed. Ignoring Hera and Loki. I WOULD have named a computer Loki except I don''t want to sound like a crazy fanboy of a particular MMORPG who has a server named Loki.Pants.  ;  Whoop-de-do sir!  ;  All of the names, with the exception of Hera, are names of great demons (basically the many names of Satan in different cultures).  ;quote:Original post by Necro-File   (basically the many names of Satan in different cultures)    Satan is a figure of semitic mythology and has no direct equivalents in other religions. Lucifer was the name of Satan before he chose to walk the path of evil. Lilith, a demon of Jewish legend, is a completely separate entity to Satan.    poppet dumass[ Cannabis mythology | Nested quotes | HTML Character Entities | M$ ]This post was made from Mozilla Firebird  [edited by - Voice Of Tango on May 26, 2003 1:12:40 PM];  Hera is the ancient greek Olympian "mother" godess.  ;quote:Original post by Voice Of Tango    Satan is a figure of semitic mythology and has no direct equivalents in other religions.

Many cultures have an equivelent to Satan, in that the diety is 1. evil, 2. is in the underworld. Satan/Lucifer just happens to be the christian/jewish equivlent of this evil diety.  ;quote:Original post by Necro-File  You are obviously, what most people as, an idiot.  What exactly does that mean?    poppet dumass[ Cannabis mythology | Nested quotes | HTML Character Entities | M$ ]This post was made from Mozilla Firebird;quote:Original post by Necro-File   Many cultures have an equivelent to Satan, in that the diety is 1. evil, 2. is in the underworld.    You said 'the many names of Satan in different cultures', which implies that it is the same deity - just with a different name. Besides, Loki lived in Asgard with the other Norse gods and Hera lived on the lower slopes of a mountain near Olympus. Lilith isn't an equivalent because she coexists with Satan in the same legends.    poppet dumass[ Cannabis mythology | Nested quotes | HTML Character Entities | M$ ]This post was made from Mozilla Firebird  [edited by - Voice Of Tango on May 26, 2003 7:54:30 PM]
