How come you never see on a Star Wars thread 'were the Sith really the good guys?' do you never get a yahoo saying 'ooooh well seeing as they don't exist you'll have to ask the director, oooooh look at how edgy and controversial I am ooooh' ?

:pac:

I understand that you are joking but , literally 30% of Americans, The most powerful and influential nation in the world believe, that all the word of the bible is literally true and the word of Godhttp://www.gallup.com/poll/148427/say-bible-literally.aspx

Thus far the other 70% have prevented them from nuking the rest of us, so no worries.

Satan essentially represents the intolerance of the monotheistic Abrahamic religions towards alternative belief systems, particularly those of a polytheistic & pantheistic nature. Previous great empires such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians etc, once they had conquered an area, generally did their best to integrate local beliefs into their own system so as to enable a religious modus vivendi. With the Abrahamic faiths however, there was only absolute Good & absolute Evil, the latter being represented by Satan, into whom all the "sins" of competing faiths could be poured. A seriously aggressive & uncompromising approach to faith & Man's place in the world.

As is evidenced by the fact that Satan was given the physical attributes of the pagan god Pan.

The Romans didn't care what religion you were as long as you paid lip-service to the Roman pantheon. Their beef with Christians was because Christians refused to do this, and because they were general troublemakers.

It's all a ruse! The Grey Aliens and the Reptilians are the real evil overlords!
Bet fre ye not, for my sig holds the salvation, so grab a colander, because it also blocks out alien mind control rays!

Satan doesn't have a book trash talking God. We haven't heard his side of the story.

Mod: Guys,
A year or more ago we started directing people to post threads about religion in the relevant religious forums. For a while, there were very few threads about religion in After Hours and it was a better forum for it.

The forum is suffering once again and reverting back to a nasty negative forum which none of us want (and if that's how you do want it then we're sorry but tough titty :P) so we will be making a concerted effort to improve After Hours over the next while.

Please post threads about religion, within the relevant religious forum, please ensure that you have read their charter before doing so and that your thread or post does not breach their rules.

Thank you.
