Let's Get Biblical, Biblical. I want to get Biblical

[xbeyondinsanex]

Sorry for the sort of non-sequitur, but I was, er, meditating on the Rolling Stone cover early this morning and it occurred to me that really, that's not a snake. That's a serpent. The Serpent.  It's some serious Garden of Eden-style coiled around the Tree of Life shit.

So, in the creation myth/literal truth of God, the serpent tempts eve to eat

oh i definitely think it was intentional

[xbeyondinsanex]

Yeah, I thought so too, but I didn't see anyone bring it up. Maybe it was in some comments, but I thought having a discussion on it might be fun. And ironic.

im trying to figure out what the butterfly means as that i believed was photoshopped in afterwards

[elephant_box]

No, the butterfly was definitely there.

Intentional bordering on cheesy. Except nothing is cheesy when you are Adam Lambert, just fabulous.

[xbeyondinsanex]

True. The idea of biblical images used in conjunction with Adam just makes me hurrah.

[xbeyondinsanex]

Yeah, I mean, there's the snake=phallic symbol thing, but the snake being a symbol of temptation and um, godly...knowledge. I think it works.

I think someone may have put some drugs in your weed...

"Cause this picture is making me want to commit some highly original sins, Genesis style. "

hahaha

Though I do think it was intentional. especially because his name is Adam.

[xbeyondinsanex]

Right. See, Michael, we can love Adam in a godly way too.
