Signs of the time!

This here is another signs of the time! Starbucks, hmm doesn't seem harmless enough does it? Well when you do research you find, its a depiction of the pagan sex goddess Ishtar, Ashteroth, and false god with many names.
But see though in this dark world, you see the Evil One's signs all around us. But something we can always look for is...

The Brazen Serpent, which is often found some where around or on the Paramedics or Firefighters. It means safety, and that is exactly what Jesus did. He was similar to the Brazen Serpent, as too when we look too him we are healed of our wickedness and sins. It's amazing, how when this world seems so of the Devil himself. There are these little signs God shows us throughout the world.

That's right, Starbucks is leading the heretic revolution, the head CEO actually is a blasphemous seven-headed beast, you figured it out chief. What would we do without you inbred retards figuring out these grand mysteries.
Um, that second sign is a cadeucus. It was a sign of Hermes and Asklepios, both Greek divinities associated with healing.
I'm starting to wonder if their ultimate concern is really with good and evil. It's sounding more like mere holy/profane (as in "set apart" and "not set apart")...
I would have pointed this out in the RR thread, but the poster already made it clear he's done discussing his "signs are evil!" shpeel:
The Blue Cross logo actually looks a lot like the bronze serpent built by Moses in the Bible. You know, the one that God imbibed with powers of healing for whoever looked upon it. It seems logical that a Biblical symbol of healing would be used for a medical insignia, right?
The "Starbucks" logo is a mermaid.
The serpent and staff is a symbol of wisdom and protection.
And... wait, wait, you just called Jesus a serpent, there! WTF?
You know, maybe we should encourage this thinking to keep the nuts out of the cool places.
Did you know that Godiva chocolates glorify a woman who dressed immodestly and didn't show proper submission to her husband? Yeah, that's right, no chocolate for you!
You fundies are really digging at the bottom of the barrel to find something to demonise, aren't you?
The Caduceus has been the symbol for medicine and physicians for centuries.'
Starbucks is a funky mermaid.
What next? The dust bunnies under your bed (or between your ears) are depictions of Cthulu?
I guess we should be glad they didn't get their hands on the original starbucks logo. you know, the one with the boobs.
This here is another signs of the time! Starbucks, hmm doesn't seem harmless enough does it? Well when you do research you find, its a depiction of the pagan sex goddess Ishtar, Ashteroth, and false god with many names.
Where do you people come up with this stuff?
Shouldn´t the serpent rather be a sign of evil for you rapturists?
Don't stop there, Evangelist16... Remember:
The peace sign is an upside down, broken cross, and the Olympic Games' use a symbol that was derived directly from the pentagram.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus
I know that, y'know, actual research and LEARNING THINGS is beyond the ability of these fundies, but if anyone's interested, the wiki article on the 'serpent and staff' symbol is quite fascinating.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius also describes the nature of the confusion between the two.
Either way, if these fundies had actually done ANY research, they'd quickly know that they have FAR MORE to fear from doctors than coffee shops!
And your point is? Starbucks isn't trying to get people to worship their logo, and besides that it's a siren from an old woodcut in a book.
And question: Did you actually research the origin of the medical symbol?
Your Bible says that eventually, people started to worship the Brazen Serpent instead of God, and it had to be torn down. You people really ought to try reading your own Bible sometime instead of waiting for us atheists to come by and teach it to you.
The Starbucks logo is a melusine, a mermaid with two tails. There used to be a larger image of her inside the little circle but idiotic fundy scumbags like yourself complained that it looked lewd often enough that the company changed the logo in the hope of shutting you the fuck up.
There is no pleasing you, is there?
Wow. You really need to brush up on your iconography. Ishtar is not the goddess of sexuality or sexual love. She is a fertility goddess, among other things. You might think of her more as a goddess of motherhood. Compare her to Mary as far as icons go.
The serpent on the staff is a symbol of Apollo, the Greek god of the craft of healing. It was the Greeks who first pioneered healing as an art and many of our traditions, including the Hippocratic oath, come from that period. (as an aside, the staff of Asclepius was granted as a symbol due to his relation to Apollo who is frequently shown with a single python and a lyre.)
But then, I would expect no less from a Fundie than to have no idea what they're talking about as though they were an authority.
its a depiction of the pagan sex goddess Ishtar, Ashteroth,
I'm just not seeing how that's a bad thing. And did you just call JESUS a brazen serpent???
Demodocos--BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey, Evangelist16? I'm afraid the board of Starbucks can't hear you for the sound of their cash registers ringing in the profits, to a tune they've composed entitled "We Don't Give A Fuck What You Think, Tinfoil Hat-wearers".
As for the medical symbol, why not write a lengthy essay on the subject? Don't know if it'd become as much a bestseller as Dan Brown's books, but it might get a mark or two if submitted on www.fanfiction.net .
In summation: You're a paranoid cuntbag, and no-one gives a fuck what you think. Now go kill yourself, Evangelist16.
Jesus is like the Brazen Serpent?
So, one day, he will be declared obsolete, unneeded, and worthless. Then he will be broken up and disposed of.
Read 2 Kings 18:4. It describes what became of Nehushtan, the bronze serpent that the Israelites worshipped along with their god.
"It's amazing, how when this world seems so of the Devil himself. There are these little signs God shows us throughout the world."
You start off talking about these being signs of false gods, then you tell us these are "little signs God shows us throughout the world." Why is your God showing you signs of false gods? Or, are you possibly just making a mountain out of a tiny speck of a mole hill?
Yes indeed, signs have intrinsic meaning apart from what we assign to them. (According to superstition, sympathetic magic, and pre-school children.)
As an ex-Starfucks barista, I take great (?) joy in informing you that the logo is a SIREN (hence the two tails). The original logo from the Pike Place store, and still seen on House Blend packaging, had breasts (gasp!) and a belly button but idiots like you complained and so now it's just a stupid bint with two tails. Deal.
Well, I rather like the idea of you people finally giving snakes some good press, but you're completely mistaken about the origin of that symbol, so I can't give you full points.
And Pepsi changed it's logo to show it's in league with Obama the antichrist.
And Zoodles had a cock and balls on the label
And the peace sign is a broken cross
Really, for godly people, you see evil and demons everywhere.
The second one is the rod of asclepius (not to be mistaken for the caduceus, which is two serpents wrapped around a winged rod), in which the snake is supposed to represent the nature of drugs as both helpful and harmful if I remember correctly.
As for the Starbucks logo - it's a mermaid, idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
