[QUOTE=Omegaman] …death and the destruction until we (every single one of us) steps up like my pal Jesus and do that one thing, however small that will turn the tide … [/QUOTE] Does that mean the global population should just do a good deed every day, or somehow eradicate the inherrent apelike savagery we display and/or sublimate by nature? ---

Hey, **Omegaman** , \*\*Diogenes \*\*has asked you a question. Why don’t you answer it? It’s a good one, and a good answer would get all these devil worshippers off your back. ---

Mere speculation, but perhaps it means “all of my switchblade knives, Saturday Night Specials, brass knuckles, rolls of quarters, and sand-filled socks will be out of storage, and ready for deployment.” ---

[QUOTE=Plynck] Contrary to the popular quote, Satan’s greatest trick was convincing people he _does_ exist. Take him out of the equation, and suddenly a lot of people would find themselves accountable for their own actions. By blaming Satan for the actions of Alejandra Estrada or Andrea Yates, you are (at least partially) absolving them of their actions. Unless you are conflating “Satan” with mental illness? And are you of the opinion that only good has been done in God’s name? [/QUOTE] Do you think people aren’t responsible for thier own actions ? Thats weak. It’s your will . Satan just gives you that stupid ass idea, that little nudge the weak minded need to pushed into doing bad and evil shit . You see the people after they have done thier deeds and they look okay to you , correct? Usually they have some dumbass or bullshit reason why , they were abused , my mommy didn’t love me , whatever . But still they did it anyway. Why ? Because they are easily confused by that shit eating fucker. And do I think only good has been done in Gods name ? Ummmmm, No. Still men decide , with thier egos and thier hate and thier vendettas all things that they carry in thier hearts just like you and I .What they have done is what they have done. What you will do , you will do . Only I can decide what I will do . But be sure it will be the right thing . How will you or i know ? It’s in the words Jesus spoke while he was among us . It is all I have to guide me while I walk this earth and deal with all the hate , anger and insults and judgements that are thrown around here . I would like to respond to all of my fellow posters (whom some i respect a great deal) comments individually , but alot of them are just hateful and trying to get me to act like a fool. That’s what that greasy shitbag Satan would like . So fire away matey, I can take it all and o, so much more. ---

I thought I’d point out that the whole “reign in Hell…serve in Heaven” thing was in a bit of doggerel by John Milton. He predated that little heavy metal fiasco by a bit. ---

I’m not kidding. \*\*Dio \*\*knows his shit, and will gladly enlighten you, if you so desire. All ya gotta do is ask. Again, this is not a joke. ---
