The Devil

In your mind's eye, how do you picture him (or her, or it)? Sometimes, not always, but sometimes I picture Lil Hot Stuff, you know, that old comic book character with the tail and the pictchfork and the diapers. lol.

Mostly I picture him as an unattractive man who is very tall and thin and wears all black.

You?

he's probably good looking and looks very like something that can fool a woman's eye..even a man's dream to be like him.

Yeah... I agree... Like tall dark and handsome with amazingly enticing blue eyes...

good morgan.... i think the devil looks like the most delicious yet fattening feast of fried chicken and mash potatoes with melting butter on them and fresh baked bread dipped in honey and artichokes with more butter and chocolate cake with chocolate chunks and chocolate sprinkles next to chocolate pudding...

everything that's tempting but bad for you.

Someone who disguises themselves and uses the pseudonem of Suzy Q! OOH AHH!

Cute! He will be your next boyfriend I am sure!

Defintely wont have to fool Phoenix, she'll do him willingly!

LOL! i like your "example" lawgoddess, it really does make sense tho x)

Suck up!

Lena, You know you are crazy bout me LOL! I know you missed me! Tell me the truth!

yeah im crazy enough to kill you

ummm.. back to the devil... considering my religious convictions... i think the devil "looks" like anything that that is wrong but tempting.... my example was the feast that is oh so good and yummy but will rot you from the inside out... also, i tink a person is attracted to the splenders of a feast and forget the fact that so many people are dying of starvation and can do somehting about it... it's just a metaphor but it's the only one I can think of

lol, I've thought about that too, Gwen! It makes perfect sense.

Well everyone, thanks for your thoughts, this has been interesting, mostly an intelligent discussion save for the devil's actual appearance on this thread (Lawgoddess, loved your post! lol, so true, so true).

It's weird, why do I picture the devil as being unattractive when most of the ladies picture him being attractive? Strange...

i picture the devil as xena.

You know, it's sad, but I am the devil. And I have a devil stuffed animal that my one and only ex gave me. Time to sound like a whining schoolboy (but aren't I?): Why does the Devil have to look like a frickin' goat?! On a slightly more serious note, though, my family used to own goats- and sheep, too- and the goats would kill the lambs. Survival of the fittest, y'know? And they filled two fields with so much crap they'll never be the same. Goats are one of the greatest natural fertilizers the world has ever seen- but they're pretty good at lawn-mowing the weeds they helped grow, too.

You know, I'm not really creepy. I think this post sets me off on a bad foot for this particular board. What I meant by all of this was simply that mythology sets the devil as a goat man thing. Well, legally I'm a man. Astrologically, I'm a goat. I have a Capricorn teddy bear by my bed. That's that. I don't wear a yellow slicker, I don't have a sickle, and I do NOT know what you did last summer, so please, fear me not. At least until I get out of college and compete with y'all in the job world! Mwahahahaha.....(teehee!)

I didn't know goats kill lambs, that makes me sad. 😢 Oh well, if it happens naturally, it must be for the best...ever heard two cats "having sex"? Wonder why the female screeches and screams? It's because the male cat's erect penis actually has tiny barbs on it. Imagine the pain. If you're wondering how I know this, a close relative of mine is in the veterinary field...that means I'm full of facts I probably could have lived without knowing for the rest of my life.

Now, on to the negative imagery associated with the astrological sign of Capricorn. I can't tell you why the devil is equated with goats, Josh, but finding out why sounds like a fun side project for me to do, so thanks 🙂 I'll be poking around to find out...and don't beat me to it, or I'll inject you with my lethal tail-poison, you overachieving, evil, sickle-weilding lamb-eater 😉

You have a capricorn teddy bear? I want one...actually I want a scorpio one, that would just be strange if I wanted a capricorn one. Where, pray tell, does one go to find such things—

LoL... Josh... you're not creepy... more like amusingly peculiar.

Josh, I think the goats are associated with the devil because of their eyes... Or, that's what my mother told me when I was 5... I want a LEO teddy bear!!! Or actually, wait, that would be more like a stuffed lion... I have a few of those, but more wouldn't hurt... I'm glad I'm a cat only in astrological turms though (that's disturbing pheonix). And josh, you are creepy!!! (just kidding ;P)

lol
