It seems that the devil scares you. I suppose


were he not a fable and a figment of your imagination, he'd scare me too. Since I was brought up in a Christian family and since I attended private Christian schools all of my life, not to mention attending church twice a week and traveling to other countries to hear certain speakers, Christian conventions and seminars, you'd have a point. I doubt you could school me on any aspect of biblical theology. I've read the bible many times, but now I look upon it in a critical light, this is when the understanding of it truly begins. I've been on both sides of the fence, and heard and have made untold arguments on the bible's behalf. That certainly doesn't mean I was correct, I was quite wrong. Until one is willing to gaze upon a thing, anything, in the clear light of reason, then their opinion is meaningless and useless. Your opinion, especially after reading ahead to a few of your other posts, means little to myself, and from the responses I've read to those posts, I don't believe I'm the only one. I'd suggest, and I say this in all compassion, that you seek out a mental health expert and deal with your 'issues' before they deal with you.

"No man can believe that God does not exist unless he first beleives that he, himself, doesn't exist."

I exist today, I didn't exist a number of years ago. In a number of years, months, days, hours or minutes, I won't exist yet again. I have no problem dealing with going back to the place I was before I was born, it didn't bother me in the slightest. Why should I care? I won't be conscious of my non-existence. Just because you have a hard time believing that one day you'll be no more, isn't a good enough reason to make up a fictional supreme being so you can live with him in the clouds when your body stops functioning. It's only made worse by you trying to extol this fantasy on other people, whether they want to hear it or not. It's made insidious and vulgar when people, such as yourself, need to throw in threats of burning for eternity to scare people into your beliefs. It's made unforgivable to place this entrapment upon a child while his brain is forming and he/she isn't capable of resisting such superstitious dogma and violent bloody imagery.

Reality is a nice place to be, I do hope you'll give it a try sometime :)
