Just For Devilment ...

[Arthur Little]

... thought I'd add a "new dimension" to the recent epic saga about peoples' perceived existence (or otherwise) of the 'Almighty Creator Of Heaven and Earth etc., etc.', and yield to the "charismatic powers" of the 'other guy' - by posting a thread ascribed to that 'great tempter'himself ...

who among you believes in the concept of Satan?

[Tawi2]

Some people do have the capacity for evil inside them,dont know if its satanic however?

[KeithD]

Satan was a symbol devised by the Catholic church to scare folk into religion in the early days......Now we have Gordon Brown

I think it's fair to say that EVERYONE [with the possible exception of Jesus Christ] has the inherent potential for 'Good AND Evil'!!

[Arthur Little]

......Now we have Gordon Brown

And him a 'son of the manse' too!!

[aromulus]

And him a 'son of the manse' too!!

Clever and cunning plan by the jocks to create chaos in this fair and green land.....

I believe our bodies are manifestation of mind...the earth is manifestation of mind...and the universe...and basically everything is manifestation of mind!

That's what methinks!

PURGATORY is simply an illusion created by the Catholic Church and cannot be found in God's Word!!!

Sure have, Phil! And d'you know something? ... I'm kinda amazed at the number of replies [thus far] to this particular thread, given the normal lack of response to some of my better posts. At first, I was afraid it might be taken out of context, and wouldn't have been at all surprised if the worms had been:bluegrab: reincarcerated and the can securely padlocked. But evidently - at long last - I've managed to 'strike a "familiar" chord' in the minds of my fellow forumers. Let's just hope my luck continues ... !

Incidentally, you're quite the "philosopher" [like me] in applying directly-opposing ancient Chinese principles to your own perception of theoretical evolution.

Why Is It That When You Blow Into Your Dog's Face,
He Does Not Like It...But When In The Car Going Fast
He Sticks His Head Out Of The Window ??

I've oftimes wondered the same thing myself!

Interesting, hmmmmm I guess bottomline is, there's evil everywhere and they come in many ways and forms. And i guess there's evil in all of us too, but only to a point where we allow evil to take over and overwhelm us and engulf us, and we loose all the control we have to do the right thing and make good choices.

[KeithD]

Good and evil only exist due to people's opinions. Good to one person is evil to another.

good point

[Sim11UK]

Good and evil only exist due to people's opinions. Good to one person is evil to another.

True...but quite controversial?

[KeithD]

True...but quite controversial?

If no one observed good or evil, then neither would exist.

[Sim11UK]

If no one observed good or evil, then neither would exist.

Agreed, but if everyone practised their own version of good or evil, it would lead to anarchy...Lines have to be drawn.

[KeithD]

.... would lead to anarchy......

...only to those who choose anarchy....otherwise it would not exist....

Hi There Arthur Little,

The Yin and Yang.../ Mad Dogs...he he he ... When I was being taught Tai Che Chaun, then Qigong and learned how to breath again ( which sounds weird but watch a baby breath then you notice most adults sort of upper chest breaths a baby does not... )

I always have had an open mind and I do like the Chinese ways and I will not waste my breath any more trying to make people understand a way of thinking which is beyond them until they walk the walk so to speak....

I see it as a set of stairs when you are on the botton step you are limited to what you can see or understand then as you go higher you see more and understand more... Glad to see you still have a open mind...

Here is a few more WORMS for you....~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ What do you think about old time U.K. PAGAN WITCHES...evil women or wise healers of country remedies and persecuted by the Christian Faith who killed them and built Churches and Cathedrals on UK PAGAN HOLY SITES perhaps losing the cures for Cancer ect..on the way... WORMS AWAY....~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Phil
