The name "Venus" has its roots in paganism. It's the Roman god of love and sex. Interesting choice.

Reading your Sola Scriptura is not my priority. Your Protestant sect reading the Scriptura does make all of you filled with hatred and lies. Why is that? Your education standards behave like wild animals filled with anger and hatred. I would not welcome that to my home.
I have my own Catholic Bible I read it every day, where there is love to one another as commanded by Christ.

mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond the Greek Aphrodite; she was a goddess of victory, fertility, and even prostitution. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Greek Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranus) and his blood fell to the sea. This latter explanation appears to be more a popular theory due to the countless artworks depicting Venus rising from the sea in a clam.
DIVINE LOVERS & CHILDREN
Venus had two main divine lovers: her husband Vulcan (Hephaistos) and Mars (Ares). There is a myth concerning Venus' and Mars' love affair and how Vulcan cunningly trapped them in bed with a net. Therefore, Vulcan and Venus had a loveless marriage and no children. Albeit, the goddess of love and sex was not barren; she had many children from different gods. With Mars, she gave birth to Timor (Phobos) the personification of fear who accompanied his father into battle, his twin Metus (Deimos) the personification of terror, Concordia (Harmonia) the goddess of harmony and concord, and the Cupids (Erotes) who were a collection of winged love deities who represented the different aspects of love.
The Roman poet Ovid recounts that Aphrodite bore Hermaphroditos by Hermes, who was the epitome of effeminacy and androgyny. She also bore with either Hermes or Zeus, Fortuna (Tyche) who was the personification of luck and fate within Roman religion. Venus is ascribed as the mother of the minor deity Priapus (a fertility god often characterized with an absurdly large phallus) by Bacchus. According to Pausanias, the Graces were thought to be the offspring of Venus and Bacchus, but more commonly their birth is credited to Jupiter and Euynome. However, the Graces were part of Venus' retinue along with the Cupids and Suadela, the goddess of persuasion in the realms of romance, love, and seduction.
MORTAL LOVERS, CHILDREN, & DESCENDANTS
Venus had several mortal lovers as well. The two most famous would be Anchises and Adonis, but she was also the lover of the Sicilian king Butes and mother to their son Eryx and Paethon with whom she mothered Sandocus, who fathered Metamorphoses' Cinyras. Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book X) recounts how Venus fell in love with the mortal Adonis (either due to his beauty or Cupid's arrow) and besought Proserpina (Persephone) to care for him until she came for him. The two goddesses both grew enamored with the mortal, so they fought until Zeus decided that Adonis would spend one-third the year with each of them and a third wherever he pleased. Ultimately, he spent his time with Venus until he was killed by a boar.
Is this now you Radiance3?

Rose, you have a very filthy imagination.
I'm talking about science.
Venus is a beautiful planet floating in the universe. Venus is the 2nd planet from the sun, next to earth.

bahmer, or nuclear bomber, you copied and pasted your rant. What you are talking about is the opposite of me. I believe, if I am Protestant, that is how they behave.
On the contrary, I am the opposite.
I am a Catholic. A very conservative Catholic.
I follow the Catholic virtues required of us.

I love science and that is how I selected Venus, a beautiful planet shining up there in the galactic empire of the universe.
You can think all the dirty imaginations, since that is what you do every day.
Get away from me. You don't stay close around me. Dirty bahmer [bomber]

You mean the rant about Venus? That wasn't a rant it was a piece discussing who and what venus was or is depending on your view of her in mythology.

How else would you think? That is why for the remaining years of my life, I am doing activities the help the least of my brothers and sisters. And that even reaches further away from our neighbors.
I love helping my neighbors, except the wicked ones. Psalm 1:1 "Blessed are those who do not keep the company of the wicked."

You put up the name with an avatar and no meaning as to who or what the avatar was, The avatar was to small to determine what it is about so one has to assume what the avatar is. Pardon us if we misread your avatar nut we went with what came to mind regarding a female using the name Venus. sorry if we misread it but you gave no clue as to what you were thinking and we are not mind readers on hear. Next time be more specific to avoid problems like that.

Idiot Nuclear bomber, I've said many times, the BEAUTIFUL PLANET VENUS, shining up there in the galactic empire. Science is a beautiful thing, but still under God.
