How do you see it as cruel?
My answer is in Bureau.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

patiently waiting for Jilli to chime in on Fields of the Nephilim...
I was in a meeting! Totally not my fault.
Anyway, I've read so many fantasy and/or horror novels that feature something called the Nephilim that I can't keep straight what is stuff from the bible, what is from non-fiction research books, and what was completely made up by Storm Constantine and others like her.

Trust my rage
I've not been here for a Nephilim discussion before, but I think it's cool that it comes up enough around here to be a repeating conversation.
I've been absent all afternoon because I've been putting together the very cute baby dresser that arrived this afternoon. So far, I have the drawers 80% put together, but the dogs have waited patiently for me to walk them before dark, so I will go.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
juliana, could I tag this:
Lyra, tag away, sweetie.
Had never heard of the Nephilim before today....

Trust my rage
There's a Madeleine L'Engle book that involves Nephilim. I really enjoyed it when I read it many years ago. Beyond that, for all my years of church and Sunday School attending, I've never discussed the nephilim before today.

I think an X-Files episode involved Niphilim, too. Another of those Scully as Defender of the Faith eps.

And I heard that to the tune of "They got the mustard out!"
They darned well better, considering you just bought it.
