Didn't say it was. I quoted the Bible verse in response to Nanner's mentioning of some scene from Ghostrider.

Legion is a transliteration of the Greek word which means "thousands" which is dirived from the Latin military term. I just thought that their /b/tard rant containing an ancient military term was kind of funny. But yeah, since its transliteration from the Greek it has been integrated into the English language and now can be used to mean "many". So actually they were using it properly, I am just used to the term in its Greco-Roman context. Hearing it used in English in that way it just felt kind of bastardized (which it is).
