My sentiments *exactly* Mr. Locklin.  I was merely pointing out the 
fact that someone of the "non-Christian" faith was trying to prove 
his point by referencing the Bible - which we all know is not valid
in the realm of alt.satanism :-)  

Also, if you are going to rebut my post, I would ask you to please 
keep to that context to which the post was written in.  My post 
was not meant to use the Bible as proof, but to correct someone
who was misusing it in the first place.

Excuse me for being the one for a quick answers - rather than rereading
all the gospels before this discussion ends - but could you please 
provide some references so that we may talk on common grounds.

And neither is it here on alt.satanism :-)

("mis-quote-animous" - sounds like something from a roadrunner cartoon.)


My love to all of you in Christ Jesus, Amen.
