As it turns out, the last is a dialogue between Satan and an atheist. Satan becomes frustrated with the atheist's repudiation of scripture, and says:<BR/><BR/><I>"I am merely shuddering at the prospect of having to spend an eternity with you. I should rather like to make a human being of you before you settle down in my place. I don't agree with the people who accept these scriptures, but I can talk with them and, to be frank, I rather enjoy talking with them. But you! I wish you'd go to heaven."</I><BR/><BR/>The first two are dialogues between Satan and a theologian, and Satan and a Christian. Satan reveals himself as a false flatterer to the theologian, then manages to convince the Christian that he, Satan, does not exist.

Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims."Rev.

God does (see Job) - but you know what? I rather doubt Satan would tell me - in the conditions of this chat - that God doesn't exist. That's what an atheist would say.<BR/><BR/>This is a concept they find very difficult to grasp. We don't think god is evil or anything else. Anything else. God isn't. Period.<BR/><BR/>They're the ones who are stuck with this god that does all that stuff they have to explain, somehow.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-1162339060283630672006-10-31T17:57:00.000-06:002006-10-31T17:57:00.000-06:00That opening salvo about the devil sounds an awful...That opening salvo about the devil sounds an awful lot like your old "God is a ninja" argument, BD.
