LOL.
so babies are atheists?
i dont think that makes sense either.
Babies are atheists lol. They don't believe in the existence of god.
Yeah, just like atheists, they don't know better :D
Atheism is knowing there is no God. Agnosticism is not knowing if there is or not. It still implies some kind of conscious opinion about theology. Babies are just ... babies.

You must first believe the lie to truly see the truth.

Well if you look at the replies - there's your thousand words. Your post is like saying: "I don't get why people post pictures with zero words in them." It's the discussion that comes out of the pictures that says the thousand words.

And by the way, words are technically pictures.

Saturn Devouring His Son, by Peter Paul Rubens: + Show Spoiler +
I'm guessing to a certain extent that they're named satan in the context of a christian europe? Both are illustrations of Cronus devouring his children because of the prophecy that he would be overthrown by his offspring (Zeus) like his father (Uranus) was by himself.

Nah, Cronus is referred to as Saturn in those paintings because of the Roman god by the same name, not because of Satan. Greek and Roman names were pretty interchangeable. Both were the son of the sky and earth (Uranus/Gaea for Cronus, Caelus/Terra for Saturn). Both deposed their fathers and married their sisters. Both were the fathers to the gods proper. Both mothafuckin' loved them some scythes. Couldn't tell you why they went with Saturn specifically for the name of the paintings, but... eh. Why Ozymandias and not Ramesses?
And since we're talking Greek, let's close things out with my favourite depiction of Nike:

Jones is correct. Both the head and arms were destroyed, as well as one wing (they made a replacement based on the intact wing). While the head was never found, one damaged hand has been recovered.

No pictures this time. Fuck. Most everything I can come up with are just shots of clearcuts going back a couple decades.
I like things.
