    For those who think unicorns are only mythology:

    Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? (Job 39:9)

    Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? (Job 39:10)

    Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. (Psalm 22:21)

    He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. (Psalm 29:6)

    But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. (Psalm 92:10)

    And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. (Isaiah 34:7)

    God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. (Numbers 23:22)

    God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. (Numbers 24:8)

    His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. (Deuteronomy 33:17)

    If the bible says it, it must be real ... right?

    I mean... alot of that can just come from the ideas the unicorn represented in traditional stories... but point taken.

    Wow, you can point out discrepancies in the Bible and present them in a manner that implies everyone else must be ignorant of said discrepancies? You must be a genius!! Or...a 16 year old.

    Didn't you say on another post that you wanted more intellectual, balanced discussions on religion? Because something tells me mockery and belittlement aren't the best places to start if that's really your goal.

    Some people are Christian. Some people are atheist. Some people are none of the above. It might be a good idea to just accept this reality and move on with your life.

    The word "unicorn" is most likely a misinterpreted word in the bible, just like "shem" was in the old testament.
    We're lead to believe that "Shem" means "name" and for us to ascend to heaven we must make a name for ourselves.
    Now when this is interpreted properly through the language it was taken from you get - for us to ascend to the heavens man must make a rocketship for himself.

    The bible and misinterpretations. Lol.

    In biblical times rhinoceroses were often referred to as unicorns. As well as any other single horned animal. Many of the one horned animals alive then have been extinct for a LONG time. Having a single horn was a symbol of great strength, and the fairy tale unicorn you are thinking of hadn't even been made up yet.

    This thread has made you look foolish. Good job buddy.

    Is it any better to blindly bash religion than to blindly follow it?

    There are actually two theories of the meaning of "unicorn" found in the King James Bible. One is that it is a misleading translation or mis-translation of the Hebrew re'em,which is better translated "wild ox". Since the wild ox in profile or relief representations appears to have one horn, the Greeks gave it the name monokeros or "one horn" (unicorn in Latin). The word re'em was translated in the Koine Greek Septuagint as monokeros.
    Other scholars think that the unicorn was actually a rhinocerous, which has a dominant horn on its snout.

    in the old days they trained unicorns to go up and down the streets and pick up trash with their horns...

    very similiar to how the flintstones had a mammoth outside the kitchen window for wilma to use as a sprayer...

    it was very common to have various animals as appliances in the olde days

    Wow, you must not understand sarcasm, fun, or humor, and demonstrate that by making the above statements.

    Pull your panties back up and relax.
