hello ppl...
satan, the adversary... lol... lucifer, the lightbearer...lol... the devil... lol... the antichrist...lol...
ppl can't even make up their minds what to call him, yet... how then will we recognise him when he comes..? there's plenty of liars in politics, fooling ppl, so, will this antichrist thing be in with them..? Maybe satan will be a pop star, playing rock music, in tight leather pants... Maybe he will be a priest, or a school teacher... most likely he will not come at all, stoned on drugs in some stygian council estate hell listening to scratched Led Zep records...
...it makes me laugh that so many intelligent ppl can speak of the devil in this way....
...the devil doesn't exist, if he does, I've been calling him inviting him round to my house for ages now, and he's never come, and I always bake his favourite cakes (so light they are too...)
...in truth though, it worries me that in this day and age ppl need saviours and devils still, unable to accept responsibility for their own actions, thoughts, and deeds... the world will end, perhaps, but it won't be "our" fault, no, let's blame the devil! lets strike fear into the hearts of men by telling them that this evil one will come and destroy the world... let's give them false hope by proclaiming a messiah will come to save us from the evil one! let's pretend we have the answers! let's make lots of money and accrue high status!
honestly...lol... why can't we just accept that ppl are greedy, inconsiderate, idiotic, foolish, aggressive because of the way our world is structured? the big battle between good and evil lies within us, is played out within our own consciousnesses, that the prophets of god, from different cultures, basically share the same message, promoting peace, brotherhood, charity, decency, honesty, etc... this world could be paradise, for everybody, without exception, but this will not happen until we rid ourself of this notion of inherent evil, and a supreme being of evil... then there would be no battle for god, though, perhaps, then we would not be so free to use the excuse of the devil to allow evil to flourish, and then we could all, together, work together, to make the world a better place for everyone...
after all, "whatsoever u do to the least of my brothers, that u do onto me..."
