The REAL Rainbow

[kerravonsen]

"And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."
-- Genesis 9:12-16 (KJV)

Oh God, yes! As a teenager, I remember feeling like the rainbow had been torn away from me and was made to represent something that made me nauseous (i.e. rejection of God). Even now, it's hard for me to just look at it and enjoy it as visually pleasing and scientifically amazing.

Thanks for the reminder! :)

You mean they were trying to steal it back then too?

I remember the first rainbow bumper-stickers and rainbow flags showing up back then, yes.
