In my more religious days, they said things like this in evangelical churches all the time. It was the standard excuse whenever anything went wrong. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

But surely the evidence for the devil is unmistakable. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I looked it up and there is none. Logic and personal testimonies don't quite count as evidence. If they did, we'd all have to believe alien abductions are real. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Interesting, can you explain how it logically follows that because some small number of people claim to have been abducted by aliens it means we have to believe in alien abductions? You don't seem to understand logic and/or have a very inflated view of the importance of personal testimony. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

How do you explain the evil actions of so many people? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Evil? Perhaps YOU define their actions as evil but they probably do not. Unless of course they are in court and saying that some 'malevolent force' caused them to do it. Perhaps its simply their personality. Some people grow orchids, some people torture and kill. Some do both. Each are choices. You probably categorize these choices as either good or evil but I rather doubt it is anything other than people doing whatever they can get away with. |

Because if we believe them that aliens are real, it's perfectly logical they could be abducted. You only believe in hell because you were told Satan exists, and you believed it. So hell is perfectly logical, as are demons and angels and the rest of the claptrap nonsense. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
