What evidence do you want again? You have once seen cripple walk out of wheelchair on TV.
you have heard and seen many miracle done in the name of Jesus'. You are blind to see the truth just because a demon has possed you. You will know the truth when you leave this earth. you will cry for a chance to come back here just to worship the Jesus' you condemn now. But it will be too late..
Repent. Repent..Repent

Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess
Athena to place on her shield . In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion .

Incase you don't know

The Versace logo is the head of Medusa, a Greek mythological figure. The logo came from the floor of ruins in the area of Reggio Calabria that the Versace siblings played in as children. GIANNI VERSACE CHOSE MEDUSA AS THE LOGO BECAUSE SHE MADE PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE WITH HER AND THEY HAD NO WAY BACK.

Stop The Rape: #justiceformedusa grin
how do y you propose we get justice for her when the r would be judge (Zeus ) is a rapist and brother to the accused, the one whom caused her is a Neice to the accused, the rapee is a devotee of the curser, the other alternative to justice (hades) loves fear and confusion

Hmmm 1981... welldone sir...quote author=DamnnNiggarr post=90295936]Damnn niggarrr!


I watched "clash of the titans"(1981) but didn't understand much about medusa till i watched "clash of the titans"(2010) before i could decipher what really transpired between Athena, Medusa and Pesaidon.
What I understood in this whole thing is that, Athena could not curse a god rather, vent her anger on a poor mortal,
and it's a crime to be beautiful, even now and then.[/quote]

Bumped into this. A good read
Who knows the story of Medusa? Yes that ugly lady with the hair of snakes. The Gorgon who men dared not look at else they turn to stone. Do you know her real story?! Well I'll tell you!

When I was in school, I was given a project titled Myths and Legends. Well naturally I settled for Greek mythology and Medusa hit my interest.

I always thought she was evil and all but this is
the true story.

So Medusa was the most beautiful girl in her town. Her hair shone like gold. All men wanted her but she never gave in. She caught the eye of Poseidon the god of the sea and didn't give him the time of day. Well what did he do? He raped Medusa in Athena's temple. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war.

Now the sad part was Athena was so enraged by what had happened that she cursed Medusa. Not the man who raped her no! Cursed the poor girl who was raped. Turned her into a creature that no man would ever look at again without dying and turned her beautiful hair into snakes.

Now some have claimed that Athena cursed Medusa to protect her but in all my research and even the writings of the poet, the story was consistent.

When I found out the truth behind Medusa, I changed my project and turned it into a tribute called 'Misunderstood'. I recreated her tombstone, changed her garments and created a pendant with her face on it.

Needless to say that was my best project in school and it was on display.

Now to bring it home. Isn't that what happens these days? Both here and abroad? A girl is raped and instead of going for her attackers, you blame her and slut-shame her. Claim she brought it on herald?

When you think of Medusa you think of an ugly Gorgon.

When I think of Medusa I think of a beautiful lonely girl the world failed. Just as the world is failing women today.

From what i know Poseidon was in love with athena and when Medusa joined the temple Poseidon had his eyes on her.after doing the deed Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon because of jealousy and anger.

Poseidon wasn't in love with Athena.
They were rivals.
They even battled over who the city of Athens would be named after, Athena won and made the sea god a sore loser
Probably why he went after a priestess swore to serve her temple and raped her.

engrchykae:
yes you decided the message.
Athena couldn't curse a member of the top three Olympians, Poseidon,so she cowardly cursed a mortal, innocent girl.
Anyway Medusa had her revenge on the gods when her head was used to destroy the Kraken,the son of Hades whom the Olympians have been using to instil fear on humans.
The death of the Kraken, enlightenment and advance of science,ushered in the end of the rule of the Olympians and the beginning of the age of Man.
Myths are highly coded Truth
I love Greek myth so much.

Athena was a actually jealoused because medusa caught the eyes of Poseidon and she had a thing for him too.she was betrayed to cos medusa was kind of her servant too so it was personal.
Which is why I enjoyed beating him to death in God of war 3.

It's called Greek "mythology " for a reason.
But biblical encounters are documentary with solid proves.

Where's the proof that Samson power is his dada or Mary was a virgin or Jesus is God or Jesus walked on water or shark swallowed Jonah?

Poseidon did not rape medusa he seduced her.looks like the atlantians were players,Poseidon broke Athena's heart since she can't do anything to him she took it out on medusa.that is what i know from my small knowledge of Greek myths.

Worship God.
For the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy.
It will be like film trick when you leave this world.
You will mourn with gnashing of teeth and cry for a chance to be back in this world just to worship the same Jesus you condemn now. But it will be too late.
REPENT

According to your god, you'll end up there if you commit little sin such as telling a lie, cursing, malice, anger and all other things.
So that is left for you to worry about. grin

Your rigid mind set reflects mental colonization
The point is IT IS DOCUMENTED.
It does not have to satisfy an EXTERNAL definition of Documentation. In your worldview Documentation is framed by what the white man calls Documentation.

You need to change your mental paradigm

IFA is alive in Cuba,Venezuela,Brazil,Miami

Just look at the 4 DOCUMENTED gospels in the bible. Even those contradict one another

And your liberal mindset was not quick to see where I said I prefer the combination of both- documented and undocumented .
Colonization is not outrightly bad it has it's pros and cons, it depends on what you do with both Mr LIBERAL.

The whole point is documented according to your understanding is a colonial construct.

It does not have to be written down to be "documented" that is a notion your colonised mind cannot fathom

Our oral tradition according to you and your colonial masters are UNDOCUMENTED.
They are not

The European mind may lack the capacity for such psychic Documentation because it has allowed the faculty to atrophy through excessive reliance on pen and paper.
People like you adopt and adapt that mindset and see it as the arbiter of reality.

Collective biographies are documented in the mind just as reliably as they are on paper.


There is a correct way to pronounce Adetimilehin.
It is recorded in the minds of Yoruba people and transmitted from one generation to the next
That is Documentation
