Religious manics come under occult assault from anthro animal art

[a pigeon]

Ursula Vernon (once a moderator at Yerf, attends [furry] conventions etc etc) produced some artwork for the New Jersey public library summer reading scheme:

On a small forum for people to discuss the end times, someone made a thread about it:

So my twins went to public school school last year (never again!), and a couple of days before the last day of school, they brought home a flyer promoting the Public Library summer reading program. As you know, the Public Library is Govt. I was shocked by the picture on it- a man/goat rising out of waves with vacant eyes who is holding a scepter/rod in one hand, a book in his other, and he has three killer whales in front of him (he is standing) tied to the loop of his belt. My husband was also appalled, so he looked it up to realize that this horrendous picture is being promoted at EVERY public Library across the USA! So This image was probably passed out at all the public schools and seared (subliminally) into childrens' minds. We got this around June 2nd and the oil spill was Aprill 20. It looks like the "beast rising out of the water" as written in Revelation.

Choice responses:

Sorry, please excuse the sarcasm outbreak. I just get very upset at the loss of normal and innocent things, like being able to take your child to the library without an occult assault.

This poster is also hanging in the bank where I work and many other businesses in this town. I can't stand to look at it!!! The really sad thing about it is, I am the only one there it bothers!!

there is several clear references to pagan gods in this picture :

- the sidonians had a god coming from the sea.
- horus the egyptian was often represented as a ram with a serpent (see thumbnail). Notice in the picture of the link , the staff with the goat head in the hand of the ram.
(maybe the magicians at the pharaos court had such staffs ?)
- neptune of course , the 3 killer whales representing the trident

when you get in the same picture a ram (or a goat) + a serpent + a trident , it can not be more plain who is it that inspired this woman.

Seeing that this picture is everywhere, the illuminati occult must be behind it. I'm relieved that my children will NOT be in public school anymore. Now I know why God told Lot to leave to the mountains!

I note that Ursula Vernon also wrote on her blog that some other artwork she did for the scheme attracted a response:

In addition to the main poster, I did a bunch of little spot art that went into various T-shirts and bookmarks and tote bags and stuff.

[...]

at one point I found myself doing a shark covered in tribal tattoos [...] The shark became a bookmark. I thought no more about it.

And then the very good-natured librarian wrote me, eyes rolling audibly–and I shall not mention name or location to protect the innocent–to say that one of her patrons had become concerned because those squiggles! They looked like Arabic! And the patron had used the bookmark in her Bible!

You know, not a single person has said “By the way, your poster is a GIANT GOAT GOD RISING FROM THE SEA! Repent, sinner!” and thrown holy water. I was kinda braced for that. I had a little speech prepared about the mythological representation of Capricorn as a sea-goat and the Tropic of Capricorn and so forth. (Actually, a couple people wrote to ask what the inspiration was, but they were all very nice about it.) I mean, heck, back in that regrettable period when Mom was married to a crazy evangelical, unicorns, rainbows and stars were secret Satanist signs,* along with the moon and the Beatles. Had they had their way, goat-kind would have been exterminated, and the loss to our collective cheese culture the price we paid for virtue.

So I was ready for that. I didn’t agree with it, but I was ready for it.

Tribal shark tattoos resembling Arabic…that was not something I was expecting. (The librarian was very clear that she thought said patron needed to get real things to worry about, but wanted to give me a chance to address it.)

People are crazy. With or without religion.

Fundies done been trolled.

I'm big on being tolerant of the religious, and feel that there are few things that are more annoying than a loudmouthed atheist. However, believing you're living in the end times seems to be a really quick path to massive brain damage and acting like an even bigger dick than anyone who professes to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ could possibly be without said brain damage.

One wonders, if they believe they're living in the final days before the Rapture (oh just imagine, we get to go to Heaven without the fear of dying! It's hax mode for Christianity!), why she bothers to give her kids any of that thar book larnin' at all. Learning about heathen ideas like the water cycle (yes I did once know a family of fundies that thought the water cycle was heathen blasphemy because "God makes it rain") won't be of much use to them when they're suddenly transformed into fully grown naked adults in the kingdom of Heaven.

Ironically half the reason public school do push old pagan works, especially Greek mythology so damn much is because there are so few modern followers of it. They can paint Zeus are pure fiction and still address issues like fate and prophecy in a manner that won't piss off anyone's parents.

It's kind of telling who claims all the nutters in America when Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists don't protest dumbshit like this.
