i pit Satan

I just want you to know that my offer to buy you a beer if you’re ever up my way was sincere, I don’t care how big and ugly you are. You come across as a crazy bastard, but I bet you’d be a hoot at a barbecue, or to bend an elbow with, and you take it pretty good when I bust your ass a little.

So keep that light on. If I ever get to Las Vegas, I’m coming looking for ya. But I warn you: If I find you, you’re buying. :slight_smile:

You’re right man. I’m sorry . I thougt I directed that to the proper guy Contrapuntal . I’m not witnessing though . I’m seriously pitting Satan. I’m not joking with you man. And the shit about the weight ? that was no joke either. Some of these other people here think the reason we are on this world is fun and games but it’s not . If that’s witnessing then I guess it is . But I’m not going to let that dick stain Satan do shit like that(use people like chess pieces) and not call his ass to the mat . I AM A BIG BOY and I WILL ruin his groove when and where ever I get the chance . I know it seems like i’m as crazy as a shithouse rat and hell, who knows , maybe I am , but it’s not going to stop me from doing right and pointing out wrong when I see it.

Like I say, I respect you and others here . Some , not so much and others , well you remember what your mom told you about saying not so nice things about people.

It’sa going to have to stay in the pit because my languange and communication skills are that of a regular guy . Not a scholar . No insult intened .

Anyway, if your question is that is Jesus God , yes I believe so . I am a Catholic for three years now. I was raised as a southern Baptist but was so filled with hate I could never see anything about what love was truly about.

You know, I know a lot of Christians who are out there doing things like feeding the hungry, caring for the homeless, and generally doing good in the world. I’ve got a lot of respect for them, and I try to be more like them. Then there are Christians like Omegaman.

Look, Omegaman, I’m sure you’re trying to do good in your own way, but this is not the way to go about it. Have you read The Screwtape Letters? If not, pick up a copy. Yes, I believe evil exists. I also believe it’s not the grand, glorious, evils that are the most dangerous, but the small, petty ones. I won’t kill anyone today, but I may forget myself and be rude to them. Unlike you, sir, I won’t blame Satan, though, just my own, fallible human nature. Do me a favor. Reread the 25th chapter of Matthew, especially the ending. Remember the words of good old St. Francis of Assisi: “Proclaim the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.”

The OP wasn’t bringing the good news of Salvation, at least not to this crowd. Instead, you’re passing on more fear, hatred, and destruction. Those tactics don’t work here. Consider James 2:18: “But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.” What you’ve done has only damaged Christianity’s reputation among those who post here, and, Lord knows, our poor, old religion’s got a poor enough reputation!

Oh yes, one last question. What do you have to say about a person who’s been turned away from Christianity by the actions of Chrisians? Would a just god condemn such a person?

With respect,
Siege

I’ll be easy to find .Trust me when I tell you. I got plenty of dough.

I was so disappointed . But you guys can really bust some balls. I was suprised because he is a lawyer and those dudes got to be tough. I’ll bet he would have your back when the chips were down.

Why am I picturing the reverand Little Ed preparing to put Satan in a headlock to drive it into a Coke machine?

Amen to that, and to Siege’s whole post. Since you are Catholic Omegaman, then his suggestion to read C.S. Lewis goes double!

I’ve hung around Southern Baptists and other even more hardcore anti-demon crowds, Assemblies of God for one, and I can say that, for myself, I honestly understand you have a good intention in starting this pitting. I’ve seen this attitude before. Maybe I’m being naive, but I do think you’re sincere and honestly pitting Satan.

The thing is though, is that Satan, assuming he exists, is not going to be harmed or even offended in any way by this rant. On the contrary, if anything he would be enjoying the religion-bashing and personal snipes wizzing around in this thread. IMO, this thread was a foolish endeavour.

Speaking of Satan, my mystical side desires to warn you about your mindset towards the occult. Demons are not to be mocked, teased, or messed with. The bottom line is that God is the “BIG BOY” and I doubt you personally are going to “ruin his [Satan’s] groove.” I’m really trying not to be snide here, but I’ve seen that mindset before, and while I dont think anything happened to those people, I dont think it’s healthy.

In conclusion, I post the following image half in jest: Jesus kicks ass!

Why would you judge me ? I give money to the church . I give money to people on the street . Are you saying I have no deeds ? Then you do not know me. I don’t want to hurt your feelings but PISS OFF! Every fucking day I tow the line bitch. I’m sorry my friend but you need to change your mind about me because YOU ARE WRONG ! UNDERSTAND ?

You don’t know the grief and anguish that burns in me like the the sun at high noon in July in the desert . Take it back , this too you will remember.

Being turned away by Christians ?
Like Falwell ? I judge not . It is not my right to judge. If you want to go ahead. Hell, you already have.

Peace be With You.

Ok, I’m on the atheist side of agnostic, so I’m going to be arguing from a somewhat devil’s (oh noes!) advocate position, but let me see if I’ve got this straight:

  1. You say you believe Jesus is God.
  2. You also say Jesus isn’t here now.
  3. Therefore, by your own logic (such as it is), God isn’t here (because God and Jesus are the same entity, according to 1) ).
  4. The Bible says that God is omnipotent, meaning he is everywhere at every time
    1. contradicts 3)
  5. Might want to reconsider your belief system there, Bucky.

Given some of the things you said in your OP, you’ve still got a long way to go.

Still, by board rules, witnessing threads are supposed to go in GD, and the rules would also prevent others from personally inulting you there (though you might get challenged on a theological/philospohical level like what I’ve done here).

My question is if Satan is really as evil as you say, then why does Jesus/God allow him to continue to exist? There doesn’t have to be a final conflict or a battle. All God has to do is blink him out of existence. Satan can only exist if God wants him to, so why does God want him to?

I don’t see your posts as hateful. I actually see them as fairly well intentioned – maybe defensive at times, but that’s understandable. I don’t think you’re mean spirited (at least not from what I’ve read).

DUDE !!! Go stick something up your butt! Are you happy now?

You know I didn’t want to say it but you kind of made me. Aren’t you in college ? get a damn job so you buy video games and pay taxes . We’re ruuning out of bullets in Iraq my man. Those people aren’t going to kill themselves.

Or maybe they will. If we keep torturing thier familys and minds :smack:

You are over-reacting to Siege’s post, and your reply was most un-Christian of you. That’s a judgment of your behavior btw, and not you as a person.

What. The. Fuck.

Your “buddy Christ” might help against demons, but you’re going to need more than that if you truly want to walk down this prim-rose path.

Listen up pal. I was not judging you nor insulting you. Believe it or not, I was trying to help you! My comments were merely suggestions about your theology, your posting behavior, and how you could better integrate both into becoming a functional member of this community.

Look, I am probably one of the few people who has had real-life interaction with “demon fighters” that are not spiteful or insane. I know where you’re coming from dude. But you dont understand that cursing out Satan is the wrong way to go about spreading Love.

Your behavior in this page at least has been very un-Christian. I made you say something? You dont believe Satan forces people to do things, but you believe I can. Maybe I’m twisting your words, but your posts are so hard to decipher that I dont think anyone can blame me.

As per the Iraq comment, I’m not gonna go there. Nooooo way.

The bottom line: I’ll turn the other cheek if you do. Any more personal attacks like that though and I’m going to open a can and it’s not gonna be holy water.

Omegaman, I think we’ve had quite enough of your trolling.

Knock it off or risk taking a (possibly permanent) vacation from the boards.
