With one sentence, Mark Twain points out the basic hypocrisy of Christians ... (imgace.com)
submitted 3 months ago by fixthecopier
[–]almightyzentaco 17 points18 points19 points 3 months ago
While I think Mark Twain is fairly bad ass, I personally know a few Christians who do pray for Lucifer, in the hope that he and the rest of creation can be redeemed.
The bible does say to pray for your enemies after all.
[–]MattAmazin 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago
Same. I went to a Catholic school and almost every day they prayed for Satan.
[–]filthysize 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago
Yes, but you can't prove that your friends did that before Mark Twain suggested it!
[–]Corrinth 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
You can prove the opposite, since he was dead before they were alive.

'Twas two sentences.
[–]AmberWings 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I was always a bit bitter about this when I was a Christian. If god truly loved Lucifer, if Lucifer really was his favorite angel in all the heavens, why wasn't god strong enough to save him? Why wasn't he merciful enough to forgive him? In short, god failed. The one person that mattered most to him and he failed to save him from a hell of his own creation. If an angel had no chance for redemption, what the hell made me any better?
Now that I know it to be fiction, it still bothers me. That is simply poor writing, something I simply cannot tolerate. I'm looking at you, Stephenie Meyer.

I'll check it out, thank you for the recommendation!
[–]shamecamel 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
if I recall, the angels were his tools, and later on, humans were specifically created as little worship-machines, and satan was the one who fucked all of that up by letting Eve in on the secret.

Normal Bob Smith encourages you to Pray for Satan's Salvation.
Also see the Satan's Salvation webcomic. Very amusing!
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being—that is enough for me; he can't be any worse. I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show.
All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side. We have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-English; it is un-American; it is French. Without this precedent Dreyfus could not have been condemned. - Concerning the Jews (Harper's Magazine, Sept. 1899)

I remember thinking about it when I was a little 10 year old in catholic school. The more I thought, the more I realized; ok so Jesus apparently died on a cross but got resurrected a few days later. I guess that's a fairly big sacrifice. But Satan, it was his "fault" that humanity took an apple of the tree of knowledge. Essentially, he offered us free will, and it was our "sin" that we took it. Satan literally gave up his position as God's favourite angel, to give us, god's little worship-machines, sentience... and then he was condemned to hell forever to watch over every person who abused the gift he sacrificed his purpose for. He gave us free will, the ability to choose (which ultimately would make worshipping god even more powerful right?) and the ability to comprehend god's wonders. Jesus died, and then got resurrected 3 days later. Like, holy shit. The comparison isn't even there, you know? That blew my mind.

I am sorry I couldn't read it. Could not stare away from that glorious mustache.

Then you may be a bigger fan of Friedrich Nietzsche than of his writing. :-)

Because he's the hero Earth deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Fallen Angel.

Long smooth motions only. None of that circular bull!
A circular bull? Nope, can't say I've seen one of those. A hexagonal steer, perhaps?

[–]deathmuffin 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
On? Children?
[–]pokeurmom -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago
wow... don't transfer your fetishes on me.
It's just a joke.. Why don't you fix your spelling of the word "praying," instead of taking offense?
No offense was taken. I am a tard for not checking my spelling. I was simply referring to your subconscious word association. You did not make the connection of prey/predator but automatically went to prey on children. So on some uncontentious level you associate the prey/ predator relationship as not one of animals but one of pedophilia. This may be something you want to talk to someone about.
[–]deathmuffin 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago
Jeez, armchair psychologuy, can one not make a joke? CAUTION, JOKE AHEAD-->Besides, you're projecting <--THIS IS A JOKE.. I AM NOT INSULTING YOU. I DON"T KNOW YOU, OR YOUR SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES.. DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE
wow all caps and bold. your doing so well at this.

Nah your right man Im being an asshole. Sorry
