Satan is nothing more and has been nothing than a created scapegoat to not have to deal with the issues.  Doesn't matter what the problem is, all Christians have to do is blame Satan and that takes care of the problem.  I'm too tired to elaborate on this but I think we have intelligent enough people on this board to get what I'm getting at.

Maybe there is a Satan, I'm not saying that there isn't, but what I am saying is that he seems to be very convenient in his appearances.

Could it be....Satan?

Well isn't that special.  :)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a
long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and
sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a
time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
As your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made

I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before
they reached my name,

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my
game, yeah, get down


Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of
some restraint

If you meet me,
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul
to waste, uhh

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game,
oh yeah

Woo, woo
Oh yeah

Tell me baby, tell my name
Tell me honey, can you guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name


:-X

Woo-Woo! Woo-Woo!
;D

If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!

Satan is an attempt to fill one of the many logical flaws in the Abrahamic myth of god, one that simply introduces more logical inconsistencies.

According to some, he was even the cause of the myths of Mithras' birth (the myths being basically the same sort of thing as for Jesus, but a few hundred years earlier).

As SoulAsylum says, many Christians use him as a scapegoat for pretty much anything which doesn't run as the Bible says it should.

I'm reading the best book right now.  It's called "I, Lucifer" and it tells the Creation story (among other things) from Satan's point of view.  It's much more entertaining and enlightening than the Bible's version. 

Satan tempted Darwin and others to bring people to Evolution. It's the same way that Satan tempted Adam and Eve to become 'God', Joseph Smith to form Mormonism, and Karl Marx to introduce Communism.

And for Dinosaurs...God created dinosaurs, but after the Great Flood, many of them died since weather patterns changed.

Darwin had no problem with the belief of a higher being.  When he was doing his study of evolution his purpose was science not to piss off religious people.  Some would tell you that the snake in the garden of Eden was not Satan but Lilith.  You do know who Lilith was don't you?  Karl Marx had no use for either God or Satan therefore why would Satan feel Marx would listen to him?  If God created dinosaurs after the great flood don't you think Moses would have mentioned it?  That being that humans were around the same time as dinosaurs.  Me thinks your logic may have a hole in it.

I almost thought you posted Stephen Lynch's song for a moment there.

I don't see how anybody could deny evolution and believe that the earth is actually only 6,000 years old and that people were living 900 years back in Genesis times and riding around on dinos, it's so ridiculous, it's sad that so many in this country actually believe that is literally true.  ::) This is the same as saying the Earth is flat imo.

I feel the need to pipe up here and say that there are quite a few Christians that don't believe in the "young earth" theory.

I'd wager the vast majority don't, but the ones who do sure know how to make a racket about it and get themselves into positions of influence.  It seems the sensible Christians are putting cotton in their ears and letting the dogs howl all night!

Darwin (from what I heard) regretted Evolution. Who told you that the snake was Lilith?! Karl Marx, despite being an atheist, let Satan work with him...without notice. And not EVERYTHING was mentioned in the books of Moses, because some things weren't important.

My logic may be FAR different than yours, sorry.

As for Lilith, this comes from Wikipedia:

"Another widely taught version of this is that the Hebrew cosmogony originally told a story of Yahweh creating Adam to marry a local Goddess-associated figure named Lilith. Lilith was a follower of the Great Mother Goddess, Inanna—later known as both Ishtar and Asherah. She then is depicted in the Talmud and Kabbalah as first wife to Yahweh's first creation of man, Adam. In time, as stated in the Old testament, the Hebrew followers continued to worship "false idols", like Asherah, as being as powerful as Yahweh. Jeremiah speaks of his (and Yahweh's) displeasure at this behavior to the Hebrew people about the worship of the Goddess in the Old Testament. Lilith is banished from Adam and Yahweh's presence when she is discovered to be a "demon" and Eve becomes Adam's wife. Lilith then took the form of the serpent in her jealous rage at being displaced as Adam's wife. Lilith as serpent then proceeds to trick Eve into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge and in this way is responsible for the downfall of all of humankind. It is worthwhile to note here that in religions pre-dating Judaism, the serpent was known to be associated with wisdom and re-birth (with the shedding of its skin)."

Unfortunately, that is the hazard of being a sensible Christian.  They can keep quiet and let the nuts have their way with their religion or they can speak up and be mocked for what they believe because everyone has the idea that all Christians are nuts thanks to the extremist freaks and their big mouths.  It's pretty much a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. :-\\

Well, it's just like being a reasonable liberal, and having uber left-wingnuts making the rest of us look bad.  I think that most reasonable people recognize other reasonable people.  Unreasonable people only recognize themselves.

That's the case for a moderate anything, be it Christian, Muslim, atheist or Star Trek fan: the ones who shout loudest get the headlines, and either you have to try and explain in a reasonable tone (which nobody listens to) why that's not what you believe.. or you end up shouting, too, and sounding much the same.

However you said Satan was involved in evolution.  Regret or not Satan had nothing to do with it.  Jewish folklore says it was Lilith.  As an atheist since God doesn't exist neither does Satan.  You're right not everything is in the bible so were do you get the ideal that dinosaurs were around at the time of the great flood.

The folklore is like the Da Vinci Code. They said Jesus married Mary Magdalene and the Kings of France were descended from Jesus.

And for Dinosaurs...http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1038/1038_01.asp...now this is a Christian's opinion.

that's because satan is working through you.

I'm now on the verge of deleting my account.

I'm just a narrow-minded bastard!


The reason why we question you is because we think there is a lot of hope for you.  We live in a world were people and ideals differ greatly.  If you really prize your ideals you wouldn't be so irritating when you state your case.

Relax.

We're having a discussion.  I don't think anyone is attacking you.

I changed the page.

Something's just sprung to mind... "Lucifer made evolution" scans quite nicely as a "Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" parody

Jewish folklore was present in the time of Jesus Christ long before the Da Vinci Code.  Two separate things.  I've been on chick.com, I swear she's been to "Jesus Camp" more than once. 

chick tracts rule. although inadvertently. ;D

WTF is that?!  It's like a mutant alligator man beast!

Ok, so they've been delighting evangelicals with cartoons for 40 years.  I thought evangelical deemed laughter as evil.  For some reason that website worries me.  

Relax.


Don't do it!
