I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, Bonfire. I don't think there's anyone here who enjoys being bombarded with semi-random Bible quotes. Feels kinda trollish.

Why should we care?

Oh, I don't know about Harry cursing her; But it's great to see that you have knowledge of both modern and "ancient" fictional characters.

I was pondering Galadriel's three golden hairs that she gave to Gimli: Chains are like braids

Do you know the scripture Ezekiel 7:23
Ezekiel wrote:Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

I prefer modern fiction.

Galadriel is modern - The Silmarillion
Her stone lights up in the spider den like Mahonri's
Sheba is the spider without Saul once Man reigned
The pestilence in the tombs is her love

Actually... I don't really prefer modern fiction.

I prefer reality.

Do you eat manna or mushrooms or meat?
Reality includes stories which become truth
