Super edgy, man

I thought demon horns were influenced by the Pagan god, Pan.
DocSolomon
Ostensibly, the only difference between an angel and a demon is allegiance. Angels are terrifying, hence their greeting “be not afraid”.

Nice. But what about hoofs?

hooves on underworldly creatures is mostly greek mythos I think

Yeeeeah. Angels, according to some scripture, looked like this
Literal, actual angel descriptions of angels exist in the Bible and I want the drugs the authors were on when describing them

How do you describe something that is immaterial? lol they did the best they could haha
Dude. They were clearly on some next level drugs. Read Ezekiel 1.

TagaryenFangirl
I like that idea
BritishBatman
Neat idea, but the way this is written sort of points towards god being the bad guy which is a bit overused imo
dasklaus
Not really, it's just that blind obedience to a higher power no longer sounds good. God was always an asshole - people just liked it 1/
like that in the old times. The idea that god is moral, or good, or loves us all, is fairly new. Originally it was more about his power. 2/2
PhailRaptor
I always felt this about New vs Old Testaments. God's relationship with humanity did a 180 that made no sense.
DisneyMoreDisney
New in comparison to what? That concept has always existed in Christianity, and existed in Judaism before that.
Then it's the morals and expressions of love that have changed. A lot.
Crazyhulkz
The concept is no way new. people just tend to flock to the religion that has a set of guidelines.
10 commandments still seem pretty normal. Caring and protecting people still seen as an expression of love. I think you're wrong.
Rexli78
To be fair their are noticeable changes in God’s attitude from the Old to New Testament. But that could be choked up to humans
There are for sure. But the entire Jewish religion of the time was based on being God's chosen and loved ones. Not a new concept.
Misunderstanding God’s motives and viewing his actions through the lenses of a vengeful war god.
YourWaifuIsTrash
In the bible, the angels that fell did so because they refused to accept God's total control. Even there, he's described as all-ruling yet >
The angels that fell did so because they refused to accept that God would humble himself and become a lowly human - it was pride.
benevolent, so the description here seems pretty fair to that depiction - angels as puppets of God, who is supposedly all-good, and demons >
as edgelords that did whatever it took to break free of him, even though he's probably the good guy anyway.
crazypyro23
Pretty sure you're confusing Paradise Lost with the Bible. Most of the motives and characterization come from Milton, who was trying to (1)
write something of the scope of the Odyssey or the Aeneid, except for Christianity.
It makes sense when you default your source to the bible, but there is countless literature that have different interpretations.

They are all the same entity. Daimon greek for guardian spirit (angel).
ThomsonI
That's why some older texts refer to Michael as "archdaimon." It was Lactantius who divided angels and demons into their modern sense.
Yeah, but there is a distinction between loyal angels and those that fell with Lucifer. Same way American and British humans are the same >
species, but there are clear distinctions in where they live, how they talk, what they do, etc.

I don't think God will grab their horns. he'll write mystery/suspense/romance novels and drink whiskey and snap his fingers to kill them.
kamehameahahahaha
What if he's using the angels as candles in the study?
ThisUsernameWasntTakenIGuess
Nah, He'd just say something like "Alexa, turn on the light", and then there'd be light.
He'd probably think that the light was good and not do anything else for the day

Nightcaste
No That's a hoovalu.
kojenk
the higher you go up the angel hierarchy past archangels the more abstract they become. to a point you run into celestial angels which are
never meant to interact with humans or souls.
But the archangels directly approached and communicated with humans? Or are there angels above Michael et al?
there are angels above the Archangels but they aren't meant for human interaction, just heavens internal goings on. Seraphim are the highest
and are supposedly beyond human perception. They're depicted as angels with half a dozen or more wings. Or faces covered in wings.
Shoelebubba
Some of them are described in a way that makes them look like nightmare fuel. Like tons of arms, rings, eyes and such.
InsaneDeman
+1 Doug Adams reference
IGoByMeme
Bayonetta did a really good job with the angels I feel.
Keydan
Like, just a big bundle of wings and light with a face... or wheels within wheels of fire with eyes.
One of the bigger debates in historical angelology was "bodies or no bodies." The body side argued that angels (and demons) were made from/1
a "refined" matter (imagine room-temp plasma). "No body" side described them as static "intelligences" (basically a complex of unchanging/2
ideas). Most Early Church Fathers were either "body" or silent. (Pseudo-)Dionysius the Areopagite is the main source for the "no body" /3
arguments in Christianity, using Neoplatonism to read the Bible's (and Early Church') description of angels in a symbolic fashion. In the/4
middle ages, Bonaventure argued for bodies while Thomas Aquinas argued no bodies. Judaism has had similar disagreement, though leaned more/5
TheMostModestMouse
Giant. Fucking. Flaming. Rings.

Yea angles are some abstract shit. The whole birdman look is fairly modern

I don't consider 200-300 CE to be very modern in relation to Christianity, however, the wings are just symbolic.

JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Oh pfft, that's nothing. The seraphim and the living beings were worse. Same with the archangels.
1metalnation
Archangels, physically strongest combatant badasses. Seraphim, if they open any of the 6 wing covering their bodies, you just fuckin die
Instantly turn to ash is the lore I think.
inyourheadunderyourskin
I forget the name but there is one that is described as swirling light highest in rank of angels. The description makes me think of a galaxy
I remember the eyes upon eyes (The cherubim) and the six wings (Seraphim, I think) but not a combination.
Svalbarter
Interestingly enough Cherubim were actually sphinx-like creatures with female heads and lion bodies.
Pentacus
They may be thinking of Ophanim, which have their consciousness contained in a wheel separate from their freaky multi-faced body
IrateCanadien
The Thrones are the wheels covered in eyes IIRC
WhyAmIHereIShouldBeWorking
What kind of lovecraftian nightmare christianity have you been praising?!
BetterDeadThanRed
The bible. Seriously.
It's in the bible, Ezekiel 1. They are describing a throne, but it doesn't have wings whatsoever.
The Thrones in Ezekiel 1 are described as hovering, concentric wheels covered with eyes.
Undrave
How do you sit on that? :p
Respectfully, I guess.
Ezekiel 1, but it doesn't have wings.

AlkeneThiol

FillerNameToFillTheBox
The bizarre look of angels is one of the things the Ancient Aliens theory relies on
Hmm I see I'm probably just describing an end game boss design I had for one of my DnD campaign heavily inspired by that ofc

I do think a popular interpretation of a "throne" is a mass of wings and eyes.
So where was this fucker during the events of Evangelion? :p

One of the bigger debates in historical angelology was "bodies or no bodies." The body side argued that angels (and demons) were made from/1

Yea angles are some abstract shit. The whole birdman look is fairly modern
Bibulus
The birdman look itself isn't, but the idea that that's what all angels look like is

I don't consider 200-300 CE to be very modern in relation to Christianity, however, the wings are just symbolic.

I know right, they can be anywhere from 1-359 degrees.

Isnt there one where its described as an orb covered in eyes with like 6 wings?
Theman098
Thrones. Fucking nightmares right there.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Oh pfft, that's nothing. The seraphim and the living beings were worse. Same with the archangels.
1metalnation
Archangels, physically strongest combatant badasses. Seraphim, if they open any of the 6 wing covering their bodies, you just fuckin die
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Instantly turn to ash is the lore I think.
inyourheadunderyourskin
I forget the name but there is one that is described as swirling light highest in rank of angels. The description makes me think of a galaxy
TotallyNotTheNSAGuys
I remember the eyes upon eyes (The cherubim) and the six wings (Seraphim, I think) but not a combination.
Svalbarter
Interestingly enough Cherubim were actually sphinx-like creatures with female heads and lion bodies.
Pentacus
They may be thinking of Ophanim, which have their consciousness contained in a wheel separate from their freaky multi-faced body
IrateCanadien
The Thrones are the wheels covered in eyes IIRC
WhyAmIHereIShouldBeWorking
What kind of lovecraftian nightmare christianity have you been praising?!
BetterDeadThanRed
The bible. Seriously.
wintervoices
It's in the bible, Ezekiel 1. They are describing a throne, but it doesn't have wings whatsoever.
YourWaifuIsTrash
The Thrones in Ezekiel 1 are described as hovering, concentric wheels covered with eyes.
Undrave
How do you sit on that? :p
SorDavos
Respectfully, I guess.
wintervoices
Ezekiel 1, but it doesn't have wings.
pancreas
that, my friend, is an alien spacecraft
AlkeneThiol
Shit like this just makes me think angels were robotic drones sent by aliens or time travelers.
FillerNameToFillTheBox
The bizarre look of angels is one of the things the Ancient Aliens theory relies on
DoctorPitt
Hmm I see I'm probably just describing an end game boss design I had for one of my DnD campaign heavily inspired by that ofc
j4bberw0ck
I do think a popular interpretation of a "throne" is a mass of wings and eyes.
Undrave
So where was this fucker during the events of Evangelion? :p

One of the reasons I prefer the rebuilds. The angel fights were just amazing to look at.
GoodBadGibus
Holy crap, Lovecraft eat your heart out.
wintervoices
I'm inclined to believe Lovecraft did draw some inspiration from the angelic creatures in the bible. Evangelion designs weren't off either.

Yeah religious symbology was one of the major themes of the show lol

Fear not, my child. I said fear NOT! Why are you trying to hide from me?!

ItsJustACoincidence
You had me going until you told me an infinitely powerful being would get pricked and hurt by some horns.
TakayukiHayashimizu
you can actually hurt someone, or hurt someone
fitlex
It's symbolic, like bite the hand that feeds, struck down by your own creation, etc
BluebellRhymes
In some religions "gods" are not always infinitely powerful. Why does he have angels?
RedOvermorrow
well he also needed people to carry him in a box with some sticks on the sides so
ItsJustACoincidence
Haha no. That was just some rocks he stitched a bit of writing on after they had been smashed to bits.

She just looks like a regular person who happens to be small.

A midget is very short but has normal body proportions. Other types of dwarf tend to have odd proportions, like short limbs OR short torso.

So.. a midget?
