Help[Opinions] Re: Delilah
in reply to a message by Parthenia
"the Biblical Delilah doesn't bother me as I am not a Christian though I can see why it would bother someone who is religious "
Out of curiosity, why would it bother you more if you were Christian? I don't believe in ancient Greek myths, but I wouldn't use Phaedra or Oedipus as names. Regardless of belief, I wouldn't want my kid associated with something negative like betrayal, false accusations of rape, or incest. It just seems messed up. For me, a similar principle applies for Delilah.
Weirdly enough, Lilith doesn't bother me that much although I probably would still never use it. Maybe its because vampires are mythic creatures whereas betrayal and abuse are things that exist in the real world even if the famous exemplars are people of legend.
