Ahhh thankyou... I sit corrected. ^_^  hmm i better say some other stuff,
dont want to be a "metoo"...  hmmm how about Evangelion.. whats its origin?
nothing to do with Evangelising, Evangelical or any such thing... *shudder*
Sometimes I wonder if the masses of biblical/religious/mythological
symbolism in EVA was put in to have meaning or for the express purpose of
screwing with our minds.. I'd prefer the later myself... but then i like
that kind of thing (Key the Metal Idol, Please Save My Earth, X, The Lost
Highway, etc)
