The idea of treating the prince of darkness as if he were a genie is somewhat new to me. The proverbial genie has to give you your wish whereas the devil does not. Your mortal mind cannot comprehend what otherworldy abilities the evil one has.
So, to play along...if I had one wish that I absolutely knew he would grant without fear of repercussions then I would selfishly wish for the cancer in my little sister's head to disapear. Also, if I were much better looking, had more money, drove a nicer car and had a fridge just for cheetos, I'd be happier. hehe If frogs had uzis, snakes wouldn't mess with them so much. ------------------ "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." -Robert McCloskey http://www.gifs.net/animate/dalekrobot.gif <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Token lackwit of HADB<LI>Sycophant to the Wolf of Azure Hue<LI>Long lost brother of DragonMage[/list] [This message has been edited by H.

The discussion over wether or not the devil can speak English (and about the gender) seem a bit redundant. Even though God shaped people, people now shape God, the devil and the entire afterlife.
If people believe there is a devil, then there is one. If people believe the devil is a she, then she is. If people believe the devil can speak Friesian, then she can. And so on. You form your own personal hell or heaven where you'll end up (or not) As for wishes (not including the global ones), immortality is not that nice, as you'll be stuck on earth for all eternity (and in some cases, I doubt it beats hell). The ability to end your immortality is also useless, as you exchange earth for hell (and in some cases, I doubt it beats earth). Invulnerability seems like a nice wish (march straight into Afghanistan and drag bin Laden out by his ear for one thing) but probably has some major disadvantages as well. In any case, it's not worth going to hell for. And that is how I think about practically any wish. So selling your soul isn't worth it, unless you were already going to hell. But then, the devil wouldn't try to strike a deal now would she? BTW, selling your soul to get your soul back or for not going to hell? ehrrr... ------------------ The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.

I'm sorry if I offenended anyone with this thread, I didn't mean to. It is kind of a "would you join the forces of evil to make your dreams come true - Type of question. If anyone took it any other way and got offended I sincerely apologies. Oh, and on the gender issue, it's completly impossible that God if it exsist, could be female... Because no woman would or could screw something she creates up like that. ------------------ "When two or more people agree on an issue, I form on the other side." - Bill Hicks [This message has been edited by Jorath Calar (edited 10-14-2001).] |

Don't worry about it, hon. I think people are still edgy after the last few weeks. I do understand what LadyZ is saying though. Sometimes I feel like not expressing my beliefs because it seems to be open season on religion. That effect has built up a bit this last month with the large number of posts and serious discussions being made, and some of us may really be more sensitive than we usually are. I think it will pass! The members of IW are almost always thoughtful and caring, no matter what their religious/philisophical beliefs so I doubt anything bad was intended. I can see where it was a serious good vs. evil post and maybe some folks who don't believe in the premise just find it easier to joke! At any rate, don't worry, I think people are either answering you in the tone you asked the question or just joshing around because the topic doesn't really effect them due to their belief systems. I don't think anyone meant to offend anyone else, least of all you!

b. I do kind of take issue issue with your point about women not being able to screw up their creations. Is that so?
