Are dragons really evil or is that the way people see them.?

Dragons have been depicted throughout history as guardians, messengers, destroyers, and the embodiment of Christian evil. None of that really matters in the 21st century.\n\nDepending upon what specific dragon(s) your collection represents, they could be either...or none. \n\nYour dragon art, in itself, is not evil...any more than a framed print of Gustave Dore's work from The Divine Comedy would be evil.\n\nPeople that look at a piece of art and declare it is evil really need to relax and keep their opinions to themselves.

People fear what they don't understand .. So they call it evil ... \n\nOr make excuses and say it was gods idea.. (I really love that one )  Human's are really stupid when they don't understand what is going on around them ..

Depends on who is around.  Generally Dragon likes to remain rather subdued, but with certain people in certain situations, she lets her wild side run free. ;)

That depends on the Dragon they don't suit all of them.

Evil is as evil is perceived.  As a counselor, I have found that too many people judge the world from their own character faults.  Those who feel the US is evil fear freedom, because it holds them responsible for their own actions.  They fear democracy because the are so unsure of themselves, they cannot believe that others are capable of making wise choices.  Or, they are just so STUPID as to think THEY know it all and therefore ought to be the ones to rule the earth.  Anyway you look at it, anyone who cannot see how well off we are in this country has a whole lot more problems then we can address here.  What really scares me is the attitude of the news media toward democracy.  It affords them all they have, yet they act as if it is the greatest curse we could offer the world.  Let all the news commentators who feel it is foolish to try to give others the opportunity to govern themselves go to Iran, or North Korea, or Darfor.

I remember reading somewhere one time that the faeries were mischevious and could be evil while the fairies were good...

Sorry, I think they are mythical creatures.  Nice to think about, but not real.

Check Chinese stories.  They use dragons in many of their stories.  You can refer to http://www.starfall.com/n/level-c/chinese-fables/load.htm?f\n\nYou might want something other than this, but it gives you an idea of where to look.  Dragons are referred to by nearly every civilization.  You shouldn't have any trouble finding something you want.

Depends on the culture.  In some cultures, dwarves are evil, in others they are both good and evil dwarves, just as there are evil and good humans in the same culture.\n\nMany cultures have dwarves as the best metal-smiths ever created, such as the Norse.\n\nYou have the good dwarves (gnomes) that protect gardens, make good shoes, etc.  You have in Irish legends many differant types of dwarves.  Some good, many evil.  But, in many cultures, they are considered evil only because the dwarves' philosophy and moral outlook is different than humans.  It really doesn't make them evil per se, but in our moral concepts, we consider them amoral or evil.\n\nAnother reason some cultures consider them evil, it is because of human nature.  Humans always have to rationalize behavior that is anti-social (IE, thieving, murder, etc), and unexplained happenstance causing failure.  What better than people that are small enough not to be notice that can cause a plethora of ailments, problems and failures.

I don't think that they are "evil". I have never got the impression that other people thought that either. \nThe stereotype that they are stupid is often correct though.

Hot elf chicks.  Hey, we dragons have unique tastes.  This is actually similar to a question about what women thought about dragons that I posted awhile back.

I investigate them. I believe in a wide range such things---spirits, ghosts, demons, elves, lephrachauns, faeries, pixies, dragons, sasquatches, aliens, non-organic beings, etc. I have investigated all of these thinsg and experienced them with my own senses. \nHowever, for many people it wishful thinking. For example many people come to find these creatures through a fantasy that they exist--because they want them to exist. Howver cultural pressures also play a part in it. Many people believe in god just because their parents did and everyone else they know does.

wow, that seems like a very good point. and other people's answeres just strengthen that the things that people say seem are obvoulsy evil, probably aren't because that is not the devil's style.  Like they think the crazy rockbands are evil and stuff. And the people who dress weird. But they aren't really cuzz evil is much more elusive. Like if I am going to smuggle drugs through the airport Im not going to dress "suspiciously" I won't have blue hair, and black clothes and stuff. so when I do dress like that people should just leave me the $@#@ alone.\n   And you don't get any bonus points for being kind and mercifull to those who are your friends, and whorship you either. It even says that in the bible. Everyone is nice to their friends. So when gods nice to the people that praise him and stuff,, so what?  Both of the are pridefull. I still don't see what makes god's pride better than anyone else's.

I would think that the nearest thing we have to actual dragons might be crocks and gators. There is also the Komoto dragon,which is huge enough to eat humans too. I can't say that a dragon is a total myth. The Bible refers to satan as not just a serpent in tbe garden; but as a dragon. Job has the best description of all. Start with Job 41:1 and read through to 41:34 for a description of a dragon. Real or myth? You must decide.  Job 41:18-21  18.By his neecing  "sneezing" (see Websters) a light doth shine and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning (A red sunrise?). 19.Out of his mouth go burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out. 20.Out of his nostrils goeth smoke as out of a great seething pot or cauldron. 21. His breath kindleth coals and a flame goeth out of his mouth.   Sound familiar?  Also read Neh.2:12 about "dragon well." Isiah27:1  "the serpent, the dragon of the sea."  Rev. 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in the heavens; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns upon hid head.  Rev. 12:9 and Rev.20  =========================================================  Unicorn is mentioned 6 times in the Bible.  Numbers 23:22  Numbers 24:8; Job 39:9  Job 39:10; Psalms 29:6 and Psalms 92:10 where the horn of the unicorn is mentioned. I cannot make up your mind or the minds of others who may read this, but it Is in the Bible, in black and white. ============================================================And tho it does not say computer/telephone/cable tv/ or satalite tv. It does speak about it's being in existance in the last days.  And I quote:  Rev. 11:8 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations (the whole earth) shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies be put in graves. (At the end of this time of 3 and 1/2 days these dead prophets will stand up alive and well again and the whole world will see).  Cars?  Nahum 2:4 The chariots (cars) shall rage(speeding/road rage?)in the streets. they shall justle ( bump/wreck or crash) one against another in the broadways (streets/interstates?)they shall seem like tourches (headlights on after dark?), they shall run like the lightenings (any thing that can or could run faster than the fastest horse drawn chariots of the day, would appear to run...Like lightening...right?)=========================================================== Now, I will not demand you believe, but it sounds as if someone knew about the future (back in the day....) Maybe you should also check out John the Relelators description of a  trip God took him on into todays time. And he watched wars and many other things he had not words for. I'll let those wanting to know about it look in  the  sources below.

This all depends on the culture you turn to for the answer.  In standard, elves are seen as good.  It is only a few cultures that have elves, or elf-like creatures, as evil.

Evil... in my opinion is an overused term which encompasses all things and actions perceived to extraordinarily cruel or unjust.  What do I think in real life is evil?  I really don't know.  You see I'm in college and my way of thinking has been a little skewed lately... I guess Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, the IRS...

I wouldn't call it evil because it works for some people. It shows them a way to live a better life. Allow people to believe and live as they choose just as you would like to be treated with that same respect.Spread love and light up the world.\nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People
