do you see why I love you?

(bows) Thanks. Although I am capable of cobbling together entirely new stuff, there has always been an ease for me in taking somebody else's perfectly good art and twisting it around.

Umm...No. I could care less what you believe, really. You are the one so obsessed with Satan that you speak his name constantly. Not me. Never once have I or will I mention Satan, because I do not believe in him. I like Mentor and LC. I like the way they think. And I enjoy conversing with them. How you get that the three of us are attempting to convert you to Satanism eludes me. But then, alot of things you say are just meaningless babble, because you never back anything up with some sort of proof. By that I mean, you don't know what you are talking about. You just talk and talk and talk.....

Here you go:


THE HISTORY OF THE DEVIL - AND THE IDEA OF EVIL

FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY

by PAUL CARUS
[1900]



This massive work on the history of evil, particularly as symbolized by the Christian devil, was written on the cusp of the 20th century by Paul Carus, who wrote such other books as 'Buddha, the Gospel'.

At that point in history it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism. The devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante.

Well here is what you said about me:

"I like Mentor and LC. I like the way they think. And I enjoy conversing with them. But then, alot of things you say are just meaningless babble. By that I mean, you don't know what you are talking about. You just talk and talk and talk....."

Not very nice. I understand your preference for Mentor and LC but you trash the humble Eman.

Gaia

It's just that you wind around in the same groove, and you seem (to me) to have dug yourself into a deep Rut with saying the same things, again and again and again....Is all I was saying. No trashing of the E-man. Just sayin'.....

I guess you are right. Eman is boring. Says the same absolutes over and over and over. I have been told that before. Yet people still seem to listen.

I guess this means you will want a separation....maybe even a divorce. Alas.
