For good people to do bad things...

RE: For good people to do bad things...
Some comedian I saw once asked why people were afraid of going to Hell. If they've pissed off God enough to merit eternal damnation, then the Devil is the one person who is going to like them. He's been trying to piss off God for years; we're on his side Big Grin

So do we morally align ourselves with the Devil or Jebus??

It wasn't about my definition. You didn't claim my definition was wrong, and nor did I even give one (at least I didn't explicitly, and no implications were seriously intended) it was about the fact you said I didn't know what Christianity is when I disagreed with you. What do you mean by that exactly? I ask then.

I guess the devil has omnipresence too then. Big time. He has to have his 'fun' (if he likes it?) - or whatever - in Heaven while 'doing his thang' in Hell, at the same time? Or does he take a vacation and leave Hell, go to Heaven for a bit, to return in Hell later?

Or is Heaven Hell for Satan? Since I would assume Hell is his kind of place...whilst heaven isn't...So Heaven may be Satan's Hell? Wtf? Ok I've confused myself now.

But I wonder(ish) anyway...Pondering the activities of Satan. Now there's a hobby.

In case you haven't noticed, you've just posted the home page for the site, neither article.

One of my favourite songs is called "Satan" Tongue

To repeat myself then..

It was your statement of what constituted a Christian "someone who believes in God and Christ" that I was pointing out the illogicality of. By this statement, the Anti-Christ could be a Christian... obviously ludicrous.

For once I'm kinda gonna agree with you BUT there are people who take some of the Christian tenets and adapt them or use them or whatever, and people like the KKK and those who believed in Apartheid! You may not like it but those people are still Christian they simply don't practice it the way you do, do not interpret your scriptures the way you do.
