Title: If the Devil was among us, where would he be?
Post by: muppet on September 12, 2010, 10:27:52 PM
"Many deeds are enacted in God's name which fill the Devil's heart with envy."

ABRAHAM MILLER, Unmoral Maxims

I have no agenda on this, just a thought that occurred to me from reading another site. Most here are Christians and thus probably believe in the Devil in some form or other. If you believe he is an entity or individual capable of taking human form (not sure I do myself) where do you think he would locate himself to cause as much pain as possible? If you connect him with pain and suffering who and where has caused the most?

Generalities (e.g. head of a worldwide organisation) are probably better than specifics (e.g. current Minister for .....).

Any comments?

Surely high up in the Vatican would be ideal.

Or Hugo Duncan.

That was one of the places that occurred to me among other big religions. Head of the Church of England would be too small and of little consequence worldwide. Also she is little more than a figurehead while Rome doesn't wield serious influence. Look at the effect of their condom ideology in Africa.

I'd say the devil is hiding in a certain NSFW thread.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?

he could be in the detail, running TMZ, his first name may be Rupert, could be in charge of Goldman, or more likely the world bank. The UN would be an easy place to sit and veto.

If you ever get the chance to read the Screwtape letters by C.S Lewis it would give you chills.
I firmly believe there is a spiritual war ongoing for our souls within everyone of us.

Isn't it obvious? He's here already.

Kaizer Sauzee. The gimpish appearance, the inane babble, the ugly henchmen.

It's Enda Kenny. Run!!!!

Expect to find Varadker and Bruton shot on a fishing boat somewhere of the Mayo coast any day now.
