I was totally hook line and sinker on Satan whilst I went to Church. I found it a little wierd at first, but when EVERYONE started talking about him as much as God, then you start to believe it.

I squirm at the amount of prayer walks, and pulling down strongholds now. eeeuuugh.

I have now decided that "he" is the personification of our own innate fear. Its very striking that its only Christianity that talks about "him". My feeling is that "he" (but he doesnt have a willy does he? isnt he supposed to be asexual, like the angels. So why "he"?) has been developed and focussed upon by the religious orders to scare us into belief. And this has gone on for Centuries. But, of course, I havent properly researched it, im just going with my gut feeling.

The theology of Satan is sketchy at best (in my book).

It seems to make sound spiritual sense to me that we empower our own fear it we believe in it. If we give it thought and focus. So why focus on it at all. Love drives out fear. Why not focus on Love instead?

There is a principle in golf (because I play loads of golf as we all know). If you are taking a swing for the fairway, but your attention is taken by the lake next to it ("Oh God, im going to put it in the lake! I know I m going to put it in the Lake! Oh no!") then guess what happens? You put it in the lake.

Focus on the flag and your laughing. Which is why I dont give Satan (nearly typed "stan" then!) a second thought. No point. Not helpful whatsoever.

Supposedly Jesus kicked his ass anyway.

Keep it real and keep da peace. :)
