The Devil

[JimC]

The devil you say!

[cronus]

I keep telling you. There's no such thing as the Devil. Only after I've convinced you of this basic fact can we move onto the other things I've got to say here...

[pErvinalia]

Can't wait for that...

[Svartalf]

Better say what you have to in another thread then Scumple... the devil is the subject of this one, and it's hard to get rid of it just because.

Though, technically, if there's no god, there's no devil, but that's going out of the assigned box.

I'm not posting in this thread anymore. I've been badly treated by the posters and totally misunderstood. You'll see me in hell before I post here again.

Perfect timing for a double post!

It may be a frivolous thread to convinced atheists, but some very intelligent people believe this shit, and other very intelligent people go along with it without really investigating the details.

If it was only morons who believed it, I wouldn't give it any time.

[Svartalf]

If they actually believe this shit, they have so much cognitive dissonance that their intelligence can't be that great.

"Between the Devil and the deep blue sea"

"The Devil to pay"

"Even the Devil can quote scripture"

"The Devil is in the details"

"You soul to the devil, sirrah"

From The Merchant of Venice. I can still remember it after all these years ...

Mark you this, Bassanio,
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath


Which brings to mind another quote from the same play:

Here comes another of the tribe.
A third cannot be matched
unless the devil himself turn Jew.

General Motors was openly in league with the devil for well over half a century.

The creatures of the desert will encounter jackals And the hairy goat will call to its kind; Indeed, Lilith (night demon) will settle there And find herself a place of rest.

Isaiah 34:14

Isaiah 34:14

Lilith was their equivalent of "the bogey man" and was mythology of the time, rather than religion. Of course, in those days, there were leopards and the odd lion roaming at night, so they thought it was a good idea to tell kids stories of monsters of the night.

Religion is largely about bogeys.
