I was always curious about this. Death is a natural process. But, is there an entity out there will the robe, scythe, skeleton thing going on or is that just a fabrication of man? any thoughts?

If there really is no skeleton with a black robe and scythe, where did people get this image from?

Where did the image of god looking like Zeus come from? What's up with the easter bunny? Why didn't nero shed a few pounds on his statues? Who knows. Skeletons are associated with dead, throw on a black robe & a big blade & you have a scary mother ******. So, there you go.

At least as early as the Geek myth of Heracles Death wore a black hooded robe. One of Heracles great feats was beating death in a wrestling match. Perhaps it is not of Christian origin at all as this myth is older than Jesus Christ.

Here is a pic of Heracles fighting Death in his black robe. Why Heracles ran around naked all the time is not readily apparent. Perhaps he was the worlds first streaker. lol.
