You are awefully high and mighty.  You have NO clue as to whether I've been
chosen by the God or not.  He protects my circles, teaches and guides me.
What can you say of yours?  As for the johnny, I go by Mike or Enki, not
johnny.

Cryptic diarrhea??  Cryptic, yes: diarrhea, no.  As for Colin's treatise,
it is a great piece of fantasy, but it is NOT fact.  You may not be cryptic
but you are spewing something.

Be careful where you get all your information, Enlil and Marduk are not the
same God.  As for the rest of that story, make sure you understand _all_
of what went on.

Magical texts are not necessarily as helpful as real history.  Knowing facts
is about the only way to handle the level and danger of stupidly using
Sumerian Magic.  As for foreboding, I really don't need to foreshadow the 
events that will happen, they can play themselves out.  This flame was truly
unnecessary,  I didn't say anything that was untrue.  Your pitiful self-
righteousness, and judgemental attitude are a little annoying.  As for knowing
how to use Sumerian magic, I'm not the greatest to ever exist, but I do damn
well.  BTW Enki is my patron god, and I find myself guided more by him than by
any Sumerian or Babylonian magical text.
