David and Goliath?

Even though my name is in pink, I do know enough of the Bible to know that (King) David had a fight with Goliath, and defeated him. Is that maybe the reason, that there are a fair amount of kids that are named David, but none (or at least very few) named Goliath? Because, most people have names of people from the Bible i.e Mark, Matthew, John, Peter, Ruth, etc. . But Goliath is mentioned in the Bible as well, albeit not in a good way. Is it just that because the Bible portrayed Goliath as a nere-do-weller, that many parents do not choose to name their child that?

I really don't get that either though, I know some people named Cain, and Cain killed Abel in the Bible. So why does he have more "rep", so to speak, with names, than Goliath?

It was produced by Lutherans, and it is a fact that Lutherans worship Satan. Additionally, I was outraged by the talking dog, which further proved the Satanic nature of the show.

I also thought the boy's trousers were too tight.

And the homosexual tension between Davey and his Negro friend, Jonathan Reed, was palpable.

*Not like a hippie. I didn't smoke "grass" and sing "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "If I Had a Hammer." Rather, I wrote angry letters to my congressman demanding the show be removed from the airwaves and that its creators be publicly executed. I also stood on street corners yelling at passers-by about the evils of the show. If a passerby was immodestly dressed, I yelled about that, too.

Because goths hate Jesus, they often think that Cain would be a good name for a kid. This also explains why goths shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Re: David and Goliath?

How about the name Saul? Would that be ok?

Re: David and Goliath?

I remember that show.
I hated it.
Davey and Jonathan seemed queer to me. Like any second they were going to reenact a late-career John Holmes movie. The very idea of an interracial friendship is blatantly anti Christian.
II Cor. 6:14--Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

If you knew anything about Christianity, you would know that Goliath was part-demon. He was of Nephilim seed. The offspring of Devil's.

It would be like calling your son 'Satan' or 'Beelzebub'. How many people do you know called 'Lucifer'?

Re: David and Goliath?

But I mean like everyone, not just Christians. Wouldn't there be a possibility that a satanist would name his/her son/daughter Goliath or Beelzebub? That was my initial question; has Christianity helped change general society enough so that you'd be labeled a "freak" or "hellspawn", even by non-Christians, including satanists, by naming your child Belphegor, Beelzebub, etc.?

Re: David and Goliath?

Well Satanists name their kids all kind of stupid things.
Heres a Satanist whose parents named him Marshall of all things.
He's in Hell now.

What's the reason to mention Goths?? It doesn't even correlate with each other.

Re: David and Goliath?

Because Goths are Satanists.

Amen. We don't want goths raising any more Cain than they do already.

Saul turned away from the ways of the Lord at the end of his life, so that would be a terrible name. Now Solomon, that's a name for a child if you're considering a Kings of the Hebrews theme for your kids.
