Society! Dude, we're talking a tube of toothpaste!
Not in the case I'm referring to (go look at my linky), it was a knife and a BB gun. But still, the manager disobeyed company policy and ended up getting stabbed several times.
Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
Like taking someone's life for instance? Yeah, I agree that's terrible.

Yeah. He isn't trolling after all, he really believes in this crap and still calls himself a Christian.
By the fruits you will know them.

Being an evil librul european I am not intimidated by your implication that I am somehow a terrorist lover and i reject your assertion that there is a link, even in degree, between a terrorist blowing themselves up before reaching a target and a thief being killed in an alley like a dog for the price of a roll of toothpaste.
And hey, we allow degrees of murder, and we allow degrees of theft. Thats why people keep bringing up the fact that it was "just a roll of toothpaste". Not because that makes it right but because being vigilante-d in the street is much worse.
Really, its only your obvious delight that makes your posts a bit disgusting and frankly make me feel just a little bit dirty for reading them. Kind of like when someone wants to show you videos of hostages being beheaded by the taliban or whatever.
Anyway, youre almost certainly going to hell for your delight in the death and pain of gods most beloved. Shouldnt you be out helping people like that, not crowing online every time one of them is illegally killed?

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
In some parts of the world, taking a toothpaste-thief's life is murder.
Also, maybe we should give Palestine back to the Palestinians.

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
And the earth back to the birds 'n the trees 'n the li'l furry animulz.
And the world back to the void from whence it came
yes, can we do that?

Why don't Christians ever ask God to bless Satan? If God and Satan patched things up, wouldn't everything be better?
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
Given what a nebulous character Satan represents in the Christian cosmogony (and which version of Christianity are we talking about, anyway?) that question has a plethora of answers

Let's do Roman Catholics, since that's my flavor. What do you think?

It even depends on the area and the timeframe.
In the Dark Ages, there were a multitude of devils, for example. A friend of mine once did a paper on those - I only remember the "trouser devil", though.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
I seem to remember being told at school very similar things to choobs - there was no hell, just an eternity away from gods love. No satan, either. Purely figurative.

The impatient devil. And I think in English you mean "demon", not devil. At least that's the term Carl Sagan used in The Demon Haunted World which sounds like what you're talking about.
Right. It's our understanding of god that changes, not god. And we have to assume our current, here and now understanding is the correct one. So my statement stands. Fucker.

Which of your statements? Roman Catholicism is not the latest and thus most up to date understanding cum revelation of God we have.

Dude. You arn't this dense, right? You're loaded, or playing? Revisit the line of posts. First, like a good scientist, you asked what specific religion were we going to discuss vis a vis Satan. I picked Rome. Then Kenny brought up time, which was a little redundant, IMO, since there's no reason to question we were discussing anything but now. So where is the confusion? Our understanding of god is the correct understanding. How in the world could some moron in the past have got it right if they don't agree with our modern enlightened selves?

Choobs, your first mistake was expecting Nessie to be serious
Nessie is always serious - its just that sometimes the rest of us don't get it and assume the worst. Its our own fault.
