The Eleven Satanic Rules Of The Earth

Yeah, you would have thought that. But that particular circle, at the time that I was in Chicago, had a priest (can't remember his name) who had a girlfriend named "Morta" (for some reason, that name sticks) who was into that stuff. Even if it was a one-time only deal, I wasn't into that.

It is possible to discuss the motives and actions of a fictional character without believing he really exists.

However, clearly I can't speak for you in this instance.

Satan has killed far more people than God. Satan kills the souls of all disbelievers.

Quote:That said, crap like the subject matter of this thread tells me we are way closer to being ready to accept the anti Christ, than at any other point in recent history.

Of course, before there can be an "anti-christ" you'll need to prove that there was a christ and you are very far from doing that.

Evidence for "souls?" You get no more of a break than Drippy does.

I think this video is relevant

Proof?

God is responsible for every single death which has ever occurred, be it physical or metaphysical. He is in complete control of everything.

Just within the context of the bible's fictional world, god created it all, god created the serpent knowing what it was going to do, and god allowed death to come into the world. It's all there in the book, despite how apologists contort to deny that.
