In Religion
Darts play an important role in ancient symbolism and mythology:
- In the book of Ephesians, the "armor of God" passage (6:10-18) compares faith to a shield which can "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one".
- In Norse mythology, Loki tricks Hod into killing his brother Baldur with a dart made of mistletoe.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what
Is a theatre? are they two and not one? can they exist separate?
Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion,
O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
