Why is Satan always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?

Horns--That%26#039;s what cows, rams, giraffes and the like have. And pitchforks? That%26#039;s what farmers and gardeners use for....stuff. We have a pitchfork ourselves in our garage, for garden work.





So why is the devil, or Satan, always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?

Why is Satan always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?
Satan was adapted from the pagan Horned God, also known as Cernunnos, Pan, or Herne the Hunter.





When Christianity was spreading, it took many pagan holidays, gods, and goddesses and incorperated it into their religion to make Christianity an easier pill for the pagans to swallow. Saint Brigit is case-in-point, formerly the celtic goddess Bride. The Horned God became Satan. Samhien became Halloween. Etc.

he is so very attractive....and she is indeed a real taste
Reply:Epona%26#039;s answer was pretty good.


But my ex-wife doesn%26#039;t look at all like that and I always kind of associated Satan with the way she looks and acts.


Put a pitchfork in her hands and it would make little children have nightmares. Me too.

What's a dilemma and how to get stuck on the horns of one?

Any links or photos would be appreciated.

What%26#039;s a dilemma and how to get stuck on the horns of one?
A dilemma, which is Greek for “two premises,” has been likened to the front end of an angry and charging bull.





Just stand in the way-- beware- physical ailment is most likely to occur.
Reply:Hahahaha .... TD and USS Badger (FF1071). We were tied up to the pier in Pearl Harbor. The USS Goldsborough (DDG-20, a battle veteran)





You see this is his dilemma is not remembering correctly time structure, he really only served on the %26quot;Hunley%26quot; . Gee he is really old.
Reply:sounds as though you are stuck on the horns of a serious dilemma.





it is a cheap, tough new car. the Dilemma, great gas mileage and the horn plays your all time favorite song.
Reply:a dilemma is not something that can be touched by another, they tend to be hermits and are illusive. They dwell in the back 80 of the wildest territory untrodden by humans.


Dilemmas are similar to Mooses, they have antlers instead of horns. Lots of little branches stemming from one root.
Reply:?????????
Reply:Its not an animal!! A dilemma is a situation with no clear answer, a quandry, or when someone has a decision but isn%26#039;t sure what to do. To get stuck on the horns of a dilemma is a figure of speech. Situations can blind-side you - kind of like getting gored by a rhinocerous horn!

Reply:Story time...It%26#039;s hard for me to choose a favorite...here%26#039;s one I wrote down just the other day. I don%26#039;t know what made me remember this.





I was Petty Officer of the Watch onbaord the USS Badger (FF1071). We were tied up to the pier in Pearl Harbor. The USS Goldsborough (DDG 20, a battle veteran) was coming toward us to tie up along side us. I was watching the proceedings. The OOD has his head up his asp, looking the other way. They called out %26quot;Heaving Line!%26quot; and threw the monkey paw right at the back of the OOD%26#039;s head. I watched the whole thing, in slow motion. It was a perfect throw. The nylon wrapped lead ball was heading right for the bullseye. For a few seconds, I thought about what to do. I really wanted to let it land on the mark. I never took my eye off it, or him. About a foot from impact, I reached up and snatched it out of the air, with a POP! in my hand. The OOD turned around and asked, %26quot;What was that?%26quot;





Nothing, Sir...





The people who watched later complained about my interference with a perfect shot...

How do you tie a bandanna like the gangsters with the horns in the front?

lol @ like the gangsters.

How do you tie a bandanna like the gangsters with the horns in the front?
haha, follow these steps right here and you%26#039;ve got yourself some gangsta a$$ bandanna wearage, homes! If you wanna tie it backwards just pull it around, so the knots are on both sides and tuck the front under the back.

Reply:You tie it backwards.
Reply:Fold a bandana in a triangle


Take the long straight edge and put it to the back of your head at the base near your neck, then take the 2 cornersbringing them around to the front tie them around each other once. Then bring the triangle point to the middle of your tie and tie it in a knot and tuck the corners under. Good Luck
Reply:Hahahaha if your asking how the gangsters do it, your obviously posing.

What is the specific type of classical music that is mostly horns, no violin, no piano?

I%26#039;m looking for a way to find music similar to the opening music in %26quot;CBS Sunday Morning,%26quot; if that description helps

What is the specific type of classical music that is mostly horns, no violin, no piano?
I don%26#039;t know if you mean to listen to or to play or what, but try searching for %26quot;brass quintet%26quot; to get the best and biggest variety of music. There are other types of brass groups, that that%26#039;s by far the most common.
Reply:It is not a specific type just the same type of quartet or various size ensemble written specifically for horns. Most of the major composers wrote such pieces.

Do young goats horns continuously break off and grow until established?

I have a young billy goat and he tore his buttons off a couple months back, now his horns are growing in and are about an inch long. But they are fragile and very loose. He actually tore one off today. Will his horns grow back and become thick and stable. Or will he be a one horned goat?

Do young goats horns continuously break off and grow until established?
Are they horns or scurs? Bucks that are disbudded as babies will often grow scurs (partial horns). Scurs don%26#039;t grow in solid like regular horns, and they will occasionally knock them off with headbutting things. Scurs will often grow back after being knocked off, but they will never be solid like regular horns, and some goats will knock them off and regrow them throughout their lives. It%26#039;s normal.





If he was never disbudded and has a full set of regular horns, I%26#039;ve never seen anything like you are describing. Sometimes the horns will shed their outler layer as they are growing but they usually don%26#039;t completely fall off. Do you have goat minerals available to him at all times? Weak horns could be a sign of a mineral deficiency. It may or may not grow back.
Reply:They may or may not grow back.





Some goats just never get their horns back after they break them, but I have seen some grow back.


He is young so their may be a chance.





As for the fact that they aren%26#039;t strong, I%26#039;m not so sure that they will grow back stronger, they may but there is probably a reason why his aren%26#039;t growing in properly.





You could just totally dehorn him and then there would be no more worries, but If you want him to have his horns I would try and put him on some sort of nutritional supplement to help strengthen his horns.


Horns and feet can sometimes show that something is lacking in the diet.


Not to say that, that is the issue or that your goat isn%26#039;t healthy, he may just be missing those few extra minerals.





And be very careful that his horns dont grow back incorrectly and start twisting the wrong way, as toward his skull where that can lead to major issues.





Good Luck and I hope everything turns out well.

What is the difference between Horn Tweeters, Compression Horns, and Piezo Tweeters?

What are the pros and cons of these 3? Thanks!

What is the difference between Horn Tweeters, Compression Horns, and Piezo Tweeters?
Power handling for one.





Typically you won%26#039;t find horn tweeters or compression horns in car audio. They are more for home or professional use.





Piezos are usually very low power and are often found in toys, smoke detectors, etc. You know how ear piercing smoke detectors are...

Maybe I should film it for America%26#039;s funniest home videos. Watching the kids scatter at the playground sounds like a load of fun to me.
Reply:No, but I saw a cat last summer who had obviously gotten into something because he was shaved close except for his tail, his head and his feet, he looked like a cartoon lion.
Reply:I%26#039;d be willing to bet that, although they don%26#039;t complain much about their owners doing that...if you could get their %26quot;real%26quot; doggie opinion on that...





They%26#039;d want to rip your throat out, and get a new owner...





(I base that on the fact that when one of those poor dogs is alone with me %26quot;dressed up in a doggie sweater and mohawk,%26quot; and looks me in the eye when his owner%26#039;s not around...his eyes and expression are saying to me...

How can i run around my area without people staring and honking their car horns at me?

Does anyone know how to go for a run or bike around your area without people staring and being dodgy to me? It really pisses me off when i try to go for a run and wierd people stare and follow me and i just want to chuck something at them urrgh! I feel really unsafe so can you help me? I would love to go unnoticed. Thanks x0x0x

How can i run around my area without people staring and honking their car horns at me?
Hun honestly you can do what the top one^^ said above, but it wont work for long. That was the second worst thing i dealt with when I ran around my area SO honestly the solution- do it in your own home. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET FREAKIN PLASTIC SURGERY





Get a treadmill or a stair climber or something to just use in the privacy of your own home. I mean being violent may scare someone off temporarily- but sometimes thats how you get stalkers on your hands. And assault charges.





Good luck
Reply:Hey dont get me wrong but maybe you are doing some thing to get this attenion.Musiq512856 call me.
Reply:It happens to me too.





Your best bet is to go to a nice park or specified running areas- I have a local one that%26#039;s over a small highway.
Reply:you might need to spend the money on the plastic surgery to correct that deformity. Sorry. :-(
Reply:find a local park in your area to jog-this helps me a great deal. my park has even put markers up to allow me to track how far i am jogging and i feel totally safe b/c it%26#039;s mostly moms and their kids-i%26#039;ve never been followed or whistled at.





you can also try the local high school or college track field-sometimes the school will leave these areas open so the public can use them





my bf also flies rc airplanes at a local flying field and when he flies his airplanes with his friends-i%26#039;ll jog around the field (his friends know better than to say something or be rude).





if you have a friend that is willing to jog or bike with you-try that as well. safety in numbers is always best.
Reply:well i%26#039;ve found that looking as unattractive as possible seems to help. i%26#039;m pretty sure it happens to most people. coz i%26#039;m in the same position as you, it happens constantly. run down side streets where there isn%26#039;t as much traffic, oh and don%26#039;t go for a run between 5-6 there tends to be lots of sleazy trady%26#039;s coming home around that time.
Reply:What are you wearing when you are running around your area? Are you doing anything to provoke this attention from other people while you are running around?
Reply:don%26#039;t run in something like tight tanks tops and short shorts..obviously they%26#039;ll be checking at your breasts bouncing up and down (stupid guys) and your legs..so when i run i usually throw on some windbreakers (they keep you cool too) and a thin sweatshirt..my ipod and maybe my hood up. if not you could drive somewhere like a park and run there.
Reply:Carry a stick or pepper spray! If they piss you off, beat the bloddy shite out of them
Reply:Three words: STOP BEING PREPPY! Obviously you%26#039;re not trying in the least to %26quot;disappear%26quot; so to speak. I agree with the other girl. Light capris, light jacket, hood up, iPod. Stay on the side walk and focus on yourself. This way people will know you%26#039;re actually exercising, and not just running around like a maniac. If people still continue to give you wierd looks, give them a slight grin and a little nod, unless they%26#039;re total creepos that you dont want to mess with.
Reply:Stay on the sidewalk.


Run in the opposite direction of the traffic so no one will follow you.


Don%26#039;t run wearing heels.
