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:
“A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this—that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made—not to understand—but to feel—as crime.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
