Laugh, this part is somewhat true. Actually, the scripture (Isaiah 14:12) refers to King Nebuchadnezzar (not Satan or Lucifer--see verses 16-19), before he fell from power, only to be reinstated to the throne of Babylon seven years later. Most people read the figurative language and conclude that it's Satan being discussed. I didn't think anyone would care enough to correct me. Also, it's "imminent." Immanent, being an actual word, has a totally irrelevant meaning. You don't really know what religion I am, so to state that "it" concocted something is quite foolhardy.

So exactly why do you feel the need to be so nasty? When someone is all criticism and no substance, his words carry no weight. No one yet has really taken a stand on what they believe in this thread. Only on what they hate/disagree with/don't quite understand.

You'll probably want to say something like, "It doesn't matter what religion you are, all christians are the same, blah blah blah." And/or "I'm not some kind of robot whose beliefs have to be structured for me, I believe lots of things, I don't need to commit to any one thing."

So now that I've taken that away from you, can you add anything meaningful to the thread?
