He made angels unsexy so wouldn’t be distracted by them…!?
God is neither man nor woman.
But I bet it has holes.
Straight to
jailhellExcept God is referred to as “He” in the Bible?
Nonbinary people can use he/him pronouns, too, if they want. And God’s pronouns have a capital H, so I guess you could make an argument that they kinda sorta are neopronouns uwu
There is probably no gender neutral variant in ancient Hebrew.
Isn’t the top-left image Cupid (i.e. a god)?
Nah, that’s a generic cherub. Reasonable question because both are depicted as children.
That’s a putto, which has intersection with depictions of Cupid and cherubim. Biblically accurate cherubim look like this:
Proginoskes, a cherubim in A Wind In The Door by Madeleine L’Engle was quite annoyed that cherubs were depicted as putti.
Eros is young and boyish, but regarded as adult, and Apollo (his rival in Olympian archery competitions) likes to mock him for looking childlike.
Oops, I was confused as well!
He made angels unsexy
If that was true, Lot wouldn’t have had to beat off a crowd with his desexing stick and offer up his own daughters to be fucked instead of the angels that came to visit him.
In that story, the angels took the form of men. Apparently super hot men lol.
Most of the biblical descriptions of what angels really look like are fucking terrifying.
If I remember correctly, he didn’t fight the horny mob at all, he offered his daughters to them.
They weren’t horny. It was a ritual of dominance and exile, much like tar-and-feathering. In the days of the Hebrews, death by snu-snu was a common way to dispose of unwanted strangers. The whole encounter was a symptom of the wrongdoing of Sodom, specifically, of hording wealth and failing to welcome the stranger and the immigrant, failing to uplift the poor and feed the hungry and treat the sick.
Fixating on buggery is to distract from modern societies that repeat these same acts of wickedness (looking at you, United States). Wanting to snu-snu the angels was essentially the equivalent of children-in-cages policies today.
Only now, human societies, especially the United States have harnessed the power to raze cities with fire from the sky.
Oh and women who read the story of Lot and his daughters see that he got drunk on his own and raped his own progeny. This act is so common the US has PSA billboards about it (e.g. Your Daughter Is Not Your Date! ). Victim-blaming is also typical.
