I love them.

Maybe this helps: http://www.biblegateway.com/
On this page are hundreds of versions and translations of the Bible.
I found it when I was reading an English book in which the Bible was quoted quite often and I looked in my German Bible and the meaning was different.
So I searched for the first German translation of the Bible which is supposed to be directly from the original text. Again it was different.
It's funny. You can collect a dozen Bibles and pick from each the translation you like best.

A little example:
in one version it says (in short): One who annoys children will be punished.
In another: One who hurts children will be punished.
"Annoy" is supposed to be closer to the original text but "hurt" makes much more sense.

Seems we I have a nice discussion started. I looked through a few books. One only mentiones the biblical Lilith. But in another I found what you wrote. "a female demon or wind spirit" it says. Alternatively there's an account saying Lilith was another name for the Goddess Kali. A third suggests that Lilith comes from the word "lotus" and she is one of the "lotus Goddesses" of Egypt and India. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much reliable information left today. And many get mixed up with modern legends.

Frasier: I had a look at the first episode. It seems nice. I just can't stand series with this arteficial laughter when it's supposed to be funny.

No, Eve was made later out of Adams rib.
I think Lilith is more known to Jews, in the Christian Bible it only says that God made man and woman equal but later comes the story of Adam and Eve.
I read so much about different religions and religious views that I never really can remember were I read what. ^^'
I just liked the story because Lilith left Eden because she didn't want to obey Adam. She insisted that they are equal and she doesn't have to do everything he wants.
She didn't back down and had to suffer for it and since in everyday life it's not that simple to stand your ground, too, and it sometimes has consequences when you stay true to yourself I just thought it would be a really cool name.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I don't know "Fraser". It started when I wanted the name Lilith, like the first woman who was made by God as an equal companion for Adam.
But Lilith is always already taken, so it became Lilithiana.
I already learned that it's much more relaxed to gather seeds than the hunting in DC. I love it!

Hello, I'm Lilithiana but you can call me Lilith.
I read a lot and I knit.
I don't really play PC games, only Dragon Cave. One day I saw a pretty flower in a signature and so I got here.
