    Once upon a time on a different BBS a long long time ago a long banished poster called Windy posted a thread titled Is there a God (or it might have been Does God exist - its so long ago I dont remember)
    it went to many pages

    This one cant be anything but a pale imitation

    But my answer to the OP - if he does exist he is doing a stunning job, if he doesnt "person"kind is doing a stellar job of behaving as if he does all on our own.
    Im rather depressed about the state of the world and in particular the bits I am living in these days

    This wasn't supposed to be a 'Does God exist' thread. It was 'Does the Devil exist.' It just seems to have veered off in the God direction.

    Them Bible bashers dont need much of an excuse. I blame the Jehovah's witnesses banging on people's doors.

    Suppose it's one and the same. I mean if we stick to the Christian God he's OK with a bit of genocide.

    Reminds me of a great line for the TV show House with Hugh Laurie.

    He opens the door and says "oh you're selling religion!, no thanks I bought some Islam this morning"

    Or maybe it’s just people - religious and secular – using a God to justify genocide.

    Well I don't actually believe the one I referenced happened (the flood)
    Yes people use religion to excuse all sorts of horrible things because religion is made by humans and as such filled with all kinds of horrible things.

    The same could be said of nationalism, made by humans, which at the moment seems far more popular. And horrible.

    There's speculation that the biblical flood is a reference to the Atlantic Ocean breaching the land bridge between Africa and Europe and flooding the Mediterranean basin.

    In tarn last week. (Game free Saturday) Some young uns were promoting a religious gig later that day at a church on Huddersfield rd. Rap being the order of the day. Some of it quite good actually. So sat to listen for a while.
    Along comes an aged nobhead. (Instead of engaging and debating the rights and wrongs of religion.) Started strutting up and down. Shouting out at the top of his voice. "Hail Satan" giving a nazi type salute. FFS.

    During one of the few times I've been in a church in my life the vicar/reverand/rector (I don't know the terminology) spent about 5 minutes splashing me with holy water calling me the devil and I had to be held back from chinning him. So apparently there is one and it's me. This happened at the church at the top of Racecommon Road, at a Christening, and is a true story. Odd day.

    Although, to be fair, I have lied to a Bishop in a church when I claimed to have been christened, which I haven't, in order to be the god father of a friend's child.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not the devil but I know I'm going to hell.

    When I lived at wombwell. I was in pot with a broken leg going nowhere. Jehovah's witnesses knock at door. Mrs on her way out to work. Welcomed em in to talk to me. ( sure she was grinning from ear to ear as she left.) Being the polite person I am lol. We got into discussions. Me not wishing to be rude. ( having been brought up in the church. And accept they have their faith. ) After they left. They said they'd call back to see if I'd changed my thoughts.
    I spent the next few weeks hiding behind the bloody curtains looking to see who was knocking at the door. I've never forgiven her. :mad::) She thought it was funny.

    Agree when you sit back and think about being proud of which particular country you were born in is rather silly.
