There are devil-horns and crosses?
Leviticus 13:44 He is a leprous man, he is UNCLEAN: the priest shall pronounce him utterly UNCLEAN; his plague is in his head.
2 Kings 6:25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

The girl in middle appears to be a bit adventurous with her hands.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
Proverbs 19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Ezekiel 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Proverbs 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Genesis 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Song of Solomon 1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

All Swedes are perverts and forced to be lesbians and homosexuals by the socialist government, just like Obama is trying to do here in America with the Prop 8 decision.
Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

I think those girls look very nice, every guy wants to date a blonde lol I think it's a sign that God is at work in their lives, speaks well of them somehow. I don't know maybe that anyway NEVER MIND! lol
I like our system over here, it feels like we are sticking together and I would rather an a red-hot iron spike driven through my chest, heart, intestines than change it for what you got.
And I don't consider myself communist, I don't idolize Mao or Stalin or whatever, in fact we don't ever use the word communist over here, and the communist parties here are exceedingly small and not represented in our equivalent of the Congress, though we have some racist ones which are shaming us all with their lewd comments and lack of concern for others..
That's how most people see it over here I think.

ps. Those aren't devil horns, which would be goat horns, those are cow horns, and what the vikings used to wear traditionally, on their helmets. The Minnesota Vikings pay tribute to that, it's a symbol of manliness, in the sense it shows strength and brawn.
It is related to local costumes of other kinds, in a sense, it's culture and NOT religion, that's all. Here some more European costumes:

Oh, so now it's blondes you're after. I'm getting the feeling that you would bed anything that would let you (or you can surprise).

Yeah, you may want to curb that because I know if the wife heard that she would go Beserker on your butt so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. Let's look at the logic, the Vikings were warriors, would a warrior actually go into battle with what was essentially handles on their head?
The whole horn thing was a lie started by catholic priests in order to associate them with Satan, so in fact yes they are "devil horns".

The whole horn things comes from the fact, that in the Bible, there is often used the contrast between sheep, which are obedient (to God in metaphor) and goats, who are more disobedient (to God in metaphor) so the devil was given horns in popular imagery to make use of that and show the images biblical relevancy in explaining spiritual matters, something like that anyway.
The reason the vikings wore bull's horns on their heads was because it gave them the impression of being charging bulls and at the time, in Europe, a bull was about the most fearsome animal. Indians have used bear tooths to decorate themselves, Mayans have used jaguar pelts to show manliness, etc, I suspect fishermen use shark's teeth to the same effect, in third world countries.
Here is what the Romans would wear into combat, at least the leaders:
Is that anymore practical? It's about sending a symbolic gesture, in this case, a horse's mane, because a horse is a strong animal, as a brush, as a symbol of discipline and rectitude, that's my first thoughts anyway, you can find history books that will explain it better and use sources from the time. By the way, there is a Roman centurion mentioned in the Bible, he would have had something like that, and Jesus would have known about it. It's all tied together. History and faith.
Why do you constantly brag of the manliness of your wife, Seth. What is wrong with you.
Regards.

Sheep don't have horns? Have you seen traditional Israeli breeds?
Sheep have horns.

Growing up as a kid you probably imagined yourself at one point or another as a marauding Viking warrior. Of course, naturally you had your impressive horned helmet carried into battle as well. But is this helmet a myth popularized by Hollywood, or is there some historical fact to it? All archaeological evidence suggests that Viking warriors did not wear horns on their helmets.
Of course, there are practical reasons for this as well. Any battle smart warrior would know that having horns jetting out from your helmet would give the enemy a place to grasp and throw you around. In battle, Vikings wore standard Sutton Hoo type helmets that did not have horns. Before the horn myth was made popular, Viking helmets were shown to have wings on them. This is also not historically accurate.But where did these myths come from? Old texts suggest that priests may have worn headdresses with horns for religious ceremonies. They may have been worn for decorations as well. However, what got the myths going was the ancient Romans and Greeks who came back from Britain saying the soldiers and people wore outlandish headdresses and helmets.
Also, Roman generals and soldiers claimed that the Gauls and Germanic tribes often wore helmets with horns or antlers, and often whole animals on their heads for intimidation. This part may be accurate to some extent, but it does not mean the Vikings raided towns with their fearsome helmets. However, this is probably where the Viking Horn helmet came into being. Of course, this tradition and myth was passed down from generation to generation by stories and pictures.
In the modern world, Viking helmets are portrayed with horns not because they are historically accurate, but because they make good looking costumes. Who wouldn't want an intimidating, blood thirsty Viking warrior wearing a horned helmet?

Weren't you the one that said she was abused? That she should stand up to me because I beat her? Yes it was, here it is.

Second, I'm sorry he beats you. But you don't see it that way. To you it is correction. But still you recognize there is something like abuse. For me it is a bit confusing.
Can I ask, why do you misbehave? You mentioned not wanting to give over control of the household? Can't you just work on that? Isn't that preferable to getting beat? I also am not sure I understand, you want control of the household, I thought you shared it with your husband and you worked for each other?
I wouldn't slap anybody for that, I find that when someone is misbehaving you can often say something that will make them behave, remind them of their place.
What do you think your sin is, in the mistakes you make around the house?

So which is it? Is she manly? Or is she abused? As far as my pride for my wife. I am proud of her like a man with a spirited horse is proud of it. She is not one that could be tamed by the weak willed. She takes a strong hand, but when under control you have a wonderful woman that you can be proud of. That and I really find it funny how much she hates you.

You've got a lot of imagination son, I give you that.
Only problem is that the Vikings didn't wear horns on their helmets...

We are not forced yet, but heavily encouraged by the government.
This does however not apply to the imigrated mooslem part of the population and is yet another proof on the secret agenda to destroy all white people.
I am still not sure if it's the masons, joos, catlicks or commies who are the instigators behind this agenda.

Which part of Europe is that last costume from?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

We have a thread about the Faroe Islands here. Until that thread was posted I hadn't even heard of it.
I also didn't think puffin feathers were that long.

I could be wrong and if that's the case I stand corrected.
But the vanity of the faroe people is so great, that their ingenuity when it comes to gluing things together knows no limit.

Cow horns? Is that some sort of a sodomite symbol; "come and milk me"?

All this talk about historical helmets and who wore what horn is missing the point: In TODAY's visual language, horns mean satanism. Period.
Sadly, mixing devil horns with Christian logos even happens in America:
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
