Lazarus...
« on: January 24, 2012, 11:31:51 AM »
Hey all! I've got a question that's been bugging me for about a month now and I wanted to know if someone knew something about it...

Lazarus...I've seen the name in Batman, ME2 and Doctor Who and it all has to do with rebirth or fighting death...this can't just be a common coincidence...does anyone have any ideas?
Have you any idea how a raven is like a writing desk?

It is a reference to the Bilble. Lazarus is a person who Jesus resurrected back to life.

I find it sad when Bible references aren't caught.

No offense, but still its worth a read, just to understand Western culture at least.

But yeah References like this are made all the time.

Ehh...im growing up in a very "this is right and you can't deny it" kind of area for Christianity...the fact I don't believe it makes me "a excrement stirrer" kind of put me off attempting to read it through.

I usually get bible references though XD this one just escaped me

I know the type of Christians you reffer to. They set a bad example for the rest of us.

Even I facepalm around them..

The kind of Christians you are talking about are the ones that are most widely known in at least around these parts...and with "these parts" I mean Scandinavia.

But now I got a little curious here...what other parts of Christianity are there? If the Bible is right, then of course you can't deny it, or the entire religion would crumble to dust.


Dammit, is my mind trying to lure me into religious debates? Just forget about it.

Fun things like Elisha's *extremely* justified roid rage at the town of Bethal.

I poke fun at my local Christians. I ask them what colour would Jesus have been and stole one of their coloring ins they give to the kids and coloured him what a person from Jerusalem would look like :D
