[quote author=Mij link=board=general;num=1041832612;start=30#41 date=01/13/03 at 08:50:31]<br><br>Fictitious characters ? Let's say it was, and still is, a big part of our background, whether you believe it or not. I thought the idea would tickle some and they may had some thougts to pile on. After all, the idea is that God, in a numerical sense, has lost. And all that jazz is about an allmighty God. He shouldn't lose, right ? <br><br>And I wonder what kind of stimuli I would have added to make it more 'stimuling'. God doing a strip-tease ? Satan in lingerie ? ;D [/quote]Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Yes, it can be entertaining to talk about God vs. the Devil in a hypothetical sense or symbolically or whatever. My point is that when you start talking about subjects like this or other fairy tales, anything goes (stripteases, lingerie, the works). <br><br>Oh OK, I'll play. I don't think God is really looking at this thing as a competition. I think he's just looking for a few good souls. I mean, it's heaven for Christ's sake, he can't let it get overcrowded. He likes it quiet up there, he really does. That "Wrath of God" stuff is really overrated. That image bugs him. He's really just a mellow dude who likes to lay around on clouds listening to harp music. Most night's Jimi Hendrix is on harp and Frank Zappa is Heaven's Musical Director. God drinks only the finest wine served by Playboy centerfolds. <br><br>Satan, on the other hand is a partying fool. The more the merrier for him. He's got Robert Johnson playing guitar but the Devil has him playing electric now with huge Marshall Stacks and Screamin' Jay Hawkins is on piano. On their off nights in Heaven, Frank and Jimi come on down and jam with the band. Hustler centerfolds are serving straight shots of Jack Daniels and Tequila to the patrons. The place is packed.<br><br>God and Satan are really quite cordial. They still exchange Christmas cards and they exchange cards on Satan's son Stan's Birthday too. It's not really about good and evil, it's about lifestyle choice. The real bad people like Hitler, murderers, rapists, child molesters, crooked politicians, etc. aren't welcome in Heaven or Hell. They're stuck in Purgatory where they're fed a steady stream of Muzak and they take turns plooking each other and snorting detergent.<br>
