Dexter: We can't start with facts - there are none. Fact requires empirical data, yes?
I would never refer to Satan as an inocuous character. He, I m sure, enjoys others thinking that of him. Ahh. He's just a devil, big whip. Yikes. Danger Danger.
Petros: You can short circuit Scripture with the best of them. Wondering if you have been hanging out with the Mayor of Toronto.
Lone Wolf, you said, "In the eyes of God, one is as insignificant as the other..." This is not so. Rather, You are significant in the eyes of God. Don't let the injustices and shennanigans of this world blind you to God's concern for you. I bet he'd like to make you a sandwich and bless you.
If God is so concerned and loving of mankind, then why are the vast majority of us bound for hell while just a few are bound for heaven?
