Seeing as Shiva is the goddess of destruction, do you think she's got lots of knives?

Don't make me get all technical on your ass.
I'm not a dumb fuck ass.
I'm just a fuck ass.
Shiva, like many of Hindi deities are both male and female, sometimes portrayed as one of the two sexes, sometimes portrayed as literally half male half female.

For some reason, when I think of destruction, knives, and bombs, I think of females, so I just happened to use the feminine.

way to dodge the fact that i'm right ;)

epilepticemu February 9 2005, 18:30:53 UTC

oh, and that also includes the fact that you're wrong

xandiwillflailx February 9 2005, 18:32:15 UTC

or the fact that you thought it was a woman and just were LUCKY that Shiva is considered both.

good job.

No, I happen to be proud of the fact that i'm learned in various religions. I went and spoke to the Mormons of my own accord!

I've spoken to the Mormons as well. Good guys. They know their stuff. And though I'm a prime conversion focus, they ran out of Mormon Bibles, and Agnostic I remained. They were good at dealing with people who are intentionally difficult too, like myself and friends. Evidently, it's a fact that Joseph Smith was visited by Jesus. Even though, as near as we could tell, there was no ocular proof corroborated by anyone else.

They didn't know what ocular ment either.

i was kind of confused when they started talking about how they were Jews and how the Aztecs were mormons....i just kinda tuned out.

Actually Shiva is male and married to Kali, his feminine half. And Shive is an aspect of Brahman, one of the three main gods who create, sustain, and destroy the world in its continuous cycle.

Oh my god people, i'm not wrong, get over it.

"Shiva's nature at once transcends and includes all the polarities of the living world and she/he is often depicted in both male and female costume."

And yes, Shiva is part of the trinity, but her role of the 3 (when looked at individually)is destruction. We are in agreeance on your 2nd point, so why make it? It is moot.

"The role of the personalized Brahman is coloured with death and destruction."
