God, god, god, nobody mentions the Devil anymore
Edited on Sun May-01-05 05:59 AM by mopaul
those of us of the judeo christian persuasion have our god and our angels and our cherubs and heavenly choir, but we have more or less forgotten our favorite nemesis, satan.

has satan been put on the back burner? bush never mentions him, neither does condi. the popes don't have much to say about lucifer in public, and the fire breather preachers have even hushed up about Beelzebub.

the faithful see images of saints everywhere, but what about images of mr. scratch? even if you can't see him, the devil's presence is felt throughout the world. chaos, starvation, pestilence, wars, genocide, disease, unrest, upheaval, ignorance, lust, greed, the devil is definitely out there.

bush talks about the great battle between good and evil, but won't mention the evil by his name. won't someone give the devil his due?

1. That's because up is down.....
Satan is in the White House government, and they know it too, so why bother mentioning such trivial things. They realize the real god is punishing each and every last one of them.....

If their own karma doesn't already implode on each individual before that even happens....

6. Wasn't he on TV just the other day?
Isn't it believed by some that the devil appeared to Adam & Eve in the form of a snake? Here's one, aptly named...

Bush Viper



Adult Maroon-banded Atheris squamigera. (Bush Viper)

As with all of the Atheris species, little in known about their venom composition. Though often considered to be mild in the past, there have been deaths reported from bush viper bites. There is no antivenin manufactured and existing antivenin seem to have little effect in Atheris bites, although it has been reported that antivenin for Echis sp. may help a bit. Poor blood coagulation may require blood transfusions.

7. You answered your question and didn't even know it, mopaul,
"bush talks about the great battle between good and evil, but won't mention the evil by HIS name."

WE talk about HIM all the time and his name is BUSH--and all his "evildoing" cronies are his disciples.

Bushco is the master at deception, and diversion. While they do what the accuse others of doing. While they call others "evil," they can't bring themselves to use the name they revere so much, as THEY are the DEVIL.
