This is a little bit of a long post, but I think you will find it very interesting. As I have been looking in this whole Christian belief system, It would seem to me that Christians have it all wrong, they shouldn’t be worshiping God, as God by definition is quite clearly evil (I’ll show this further down the post). You should be bowing down before Satan, as it actually seems that the “Devil” is the good guy.. But No I hear you all cry, satan is evil…. But is he, lets take a look…. Genesis 3: 4-5 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.” The key words here are, “…knowing good and evil.” According to this, Satan says we will know what good is and know what evil is. So it stands to reason from this that we can judge right from wrong, and can know when God does something good or bad. “But Satan is the prince of lies and evil”, I can hear you exclaiming. Ahh…well then let us look at the following passage. Genesis 3: 22 “And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever” Well, well, well. It appears here that what the devil said was true. God himself says that mankind can now judge right and wrong, knowing good and evil. It seems to me here that Satan was just trying to wake us up from the ignorance God had us in. Which begs the question: Why does god now punish mankind for committing a sin when we don’t know what good or evil is? Sure, he may have told us not to eat the apple, but how could we have understood the implications of this action, since we had no notion of good or evil? If we don’t know how to be good, then we wouldn’t recognize something as evil. Again, evil is defined as something “that is a cause or source of suffering, injury, or destruction”. Well according to the punishment God deals out in the following passages as the result of tasting the apple, that taste could definitely be defined as evil. Genesis 3: 16-19 “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Well that certainly sounds like suffering to me, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of God’s cruelty to those who sin against him. So because Eve and Adam ate the fruit of the tree, without knowing the difference between right (good) and wrong (evil), Eve’s sorrow will be greatly multiplied, and have sorrowful conception, and serve her husband, and Adam has all of the ground cursed and it will be hard labor for him to grow food. So to return to our main point of whether or not we can judge God as good or evil, I think it is obvious that we can. All you have to do is read the scripture in which God himself says we know good and evil as he does, “…the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil…” Genesis 3: 22. As a human who knows good and evil, I judge the biblical god to be evil by definition. Well if God is evil, then what is Satan? Why did God cast Satan out, and what is his punishment? Satan was proud, and rose up against God (Isaiah 15: 13-14, Ezekiel 28: 14-19). Therefore, he is judged, bruised, chained in darkness, and sent to Hell (John 12: 31, John 16: 11, Romans 16:20, Jude 6, 2 Peter 2: 4, Matthew 25: 41). It’s interesting to note that Satan was an angel (Isaiah 14: 12) who was perfect (Ezekiel 29: 15) and beautiful (Ezekiel 28: 17). The angels had free will, as is indicated by the fact that Satan chose to go against God. If he had known the punishment, he would not have had true free will. However, it says nowhere that Satan knew he would be sent to hell for his actions. It is only after he rebels that he is punished. The angels were created before man, and as free moral agents, some revolted against God. Therefore, God made mankind, and made him ignorant of good and evil. We didn’t gain the ability to judge good or evil until after the fall, and then God punished us for doing what he knew we would do(he’s omniscient, remember?). It’s as if God knew that once we realized the difference between good and evil as the angel’s did, we would see him for what he truly is. Satan led a rebellion against God in Heaven and was cast out for it. Well, since we’ve established that God is evil by definition, wouldn’t fighting against God be considered an act of goodness? As a human who knows good and evil, I judge Satan, who fought to overthrow the evil biblical god, to be good. So there we have it, Hail mighty Satan...... ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

Someting I noticed on one of my risers recently was the (not entirely sure of the technical name) the "locking loop"!!! for my 3 rings was damaged and about a 1/4 of the loop was torn. It would seem that the ring on the end of metal cutaway housing had worn through it.. It was easier and cheap'ish to repair.. Probably worth checking as its best not to lose a riser, especially 100ft from the ground. ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

Q: How many Theists does it take to change a light bulb? Charismatic: Only 1 Their hands are already in the air. Pentecostal: 10 One to change the bulb, and nine to pray for protection against the spirit of darkness. Presbyterians: None Lights will go on and off at predestined times. Roman Catholic: None Candles only. Put a little something in the box. Baptists: At least 15 One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken next Sunday. Episcopalians: 3 One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was. Mormons: 5 One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it properly. Unitarians: ? We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted – all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence. Methodists: Undetermined Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass around. Scientologists: Tom Cruise We may get lucky and he’ll fall off the ladder, or will be kidnapped by Xenu. Nazarene: 6 One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy. Lutherans: None Lutherans don't believe in change. Amish: What’s a light bulb?

It would seem that the Vatican is now pondering whether stillborn babies belong in Heaven, or not. Apparently they have not belonged there so far. Also, it appears that anyone born before Jesus is automatically excluded from Heaven! [sic]It seems that Limbo’s lack of doctrinal authority has long failed to impress the now-Pope, who was recorded as saying before his election, “Personally, I would let it [the notion of Limbo] drop, since it has always been only a theological hypothesis.” Oh, I see – maybe. Okay. Tell me if I’ve got this straight. So the virgin birth of Christ, transubstantiation, Heaven & Hell, the loaves-and-fishes party, walking on water – not to mention the parting of the Red Sea and that pillar-of-salt business, Jonah living three days in a whale’s belly, the water-to-wine trick, and those ever-burning bushes – they’re not just “theological hypotheses”? They’re all established facts But what’s happened to Limbo, that overly-cozy place where – up till now – the blindly faithful were supposed to believe that millions upon millions of souls of still-born and/or unbaptized babies were piled up “resting” because they’re awkwardly free of sin but not actually baptized, thus banned from Heaven? Those tiny shades are stacked next to the souls of unfortunate folks who were sent to Limbo because they “went” before Christ was born, so of course they couldn’t get to Paradise, either. You’re saying that Limbo is now a silly idea that’s being “dropped”? So were – or are – all those souls there, or are they now somewhere else, and if somewhere else, where? ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

Are Nuclear weapons WMD's???? and therefore would North Korea be in violation of UN Security Council Resolutions regarding weapons of mass destruction??? Doesn't really matter. The UN will most likely not do anything but pass resolution after resolution anyway. Yes this is probably true, however Dubbya Bush did invade Iraq because they apparently (although never found to this date) had WMD's and were in violation of UN regualtions. Therefore logically the US will invade North Korea....

They attack kids for the shock value, to get their 15 minutes of infamy. And they know that since schools are gun-free zones, that there won't be anyone there to stop them. Thus, schools are perfect victim zones for the deranged. I thought that most school kids in the US were armed these days! Anyway JR, how come we don’t see these kind of school yard massacres in the UK??? ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+
