satanic cult in this life.
Moderator - ‘Let me see if I got this straight. If I hear you right, you’re saying that it is wrong to get the archangel Michael confused with the Antichrist. What you want to do is recognize Michael as Michael, and recognize the Antichrist as the Antichrist. What you don’t want to do is think that Michael is the Antichrist, and you don’t want to think that the Antichrist is Michael. I can see the logic of this. On the one hand, I don’t think we’re dealing with any sort of huge complexity here. But, on the other hand, how is a person really supposed to know what is a foul vile evil monstrous satanic heresy which leads souls to perdition, and what is the True Faith which leads souls to heaven? If a person thinks that some foul vile evil monstrous satanic heresy which leads souls to perdition is sound doctrine which leads souls to heaven, and if he thinks sound doctrine which leads souls to heaven is some foul vile evil monstrous satanic heresy which leads souls to perdition, then this person is no doubt confused enough to get the archangel Michael confused with the Antichrist, and vice versa.’
Jew Girl - ‘Exactly so.’
English Atheist Guy - ‘And all to0 often Christians act like brainless fools. Getting everything wrong is precisely what Christians do.’
Me - ‘We’re right about some things! We’re right when we say Jesus is God and scripture is trustworthy.’
English Atheist Guy - ‘Don’t interrupt. Sir Winston informed us exactly what the Christians were doing to each other in World War 1,
‘All the horrors of all the ages were brought together…neither peoples nor rulers drew the line at any deed which they thought could help them to win…Every outrage against humanity or international law was repaid by reprisals - often of a greater scale and of longer duration…The wounded died between the lines: the dead mouldered into the soil. Merchant ships and neutral ships and hospital ships were sunk on the seas…Every effort was made to starve whole nations into submission without regard to age or sex. Cities and monuments were smashed by artillery. Bombs from the air were cast down indiscriminately. Poison gas in many forms stifled or seared the soldiers. Liquid fire was projected on their bodies. Men fell from the air in flames, or were smothered often slowly in the dark recesses of the sea…Europe and large parts of Asia and Africa became one vast battlefield on which after years of struggle not armies but nations broke and ran. When all was over, Torture and Cannibalism were the only two expedients that the civilized, scientific, Christian States had been able to deny themselves: and they were of doubtful utility.’
Moderator - ‘World War 1 sounds like it would make a pretty decent movie. Too bad all the women from that era were so unglamorous, with their ankle-length skirts and their hideous hair-styles, and the men had these huge guts but no muscle development to speak of. Those people were huge embarrassments to be seen with at the beach. People didn’t really learn the sciences of bodybuilding and looking good at the beach until a decade or two before Arnold Swarzenneggar got big in the 1970s. Talk about morons stuck in the dark ages. Alright, let’s wrap this up. Let’s get out of here. Thanks Protestants in Rock Island, Illinois, thanks for showing up for the big 1st annual extravaganza:
