I would probably give Satan more credit than that. If lets assume that there is a heaven and hell and one dies and goes to hell, the person would be forced to use not XP, but even worse, WinME!!!! However I doubt Satan himself would ever use such an OS.

In some ways I sympathize with Satan. He never really took everything lying down. He always questioned everything, and to me that holds high value. Why should I just believe everything and not ever question. In some ways, he is a tragic hero as far as I'm concerned.

(waits for christian-evangelicals to chime in now, to say otherwise.)

The worst sinners, in the Ninth Circle Of Hell, are forced to use Vista Home Basic. And made to watch Steve Ballmer dance videos.

P.S.
I don't know why Dante left that out of the Inferno, too horrible perhaps?

I now have a firm belief:-
Alred is a happy man/woman(plz excuse the gender confusion).


And Satan got the rewards for standing up for himself.
He gets the wonderful job of torturing evil souls in a variety of fun ways while St.Peter has to to be content with formally greeting Nuns and deceased Popes.

Yeah, the sinners are definitely stuck using WinME or XP, but it seems to me that Satan himself must be a Linux User. I mean, he's very effective and doesn't waste time on things that don't work -he gets right down to business. God msut be using something W2K as he just muddles along without really winning or losing competely.
The saints must be using MacOS since they are blissfully ignorant...

Are you sure you want to put these OS'es on the same sentence? Because in my eyes, you are comparing apples(XP) to a can with dog poo (ME). And I think the can by itself is still one step above winME...

ok , in replying to some ...

what i was saying is that ... every true bright brains lets go back to where you suppose to be in and with now ... you guys cant really keep on "mocking" about your own people for not able to lay back well ... you have no say as far as what i can see for such a long time ...

what are you guys waiting for , really ... waiting for you own people able to lay back well ... ?? what have you learned and thought so far , really ...

you guys are actually like all those earth toys i was talking about ... must always be there ready to serve and be used and called up ... and nothing else ...

... as for the rest of the tasks ... let your religious people of all kinds handle them ...



//lets all live the same ... now , or tommorrow , or in the future , or next time ... dont pick one ... pick at least two or three ...

Them? As in everything? So you are saying that in all aspects of a country's government, it should be left to the religious? That to me sounds very dangerous. I am very concerned when a politician likes to talk about his/her religious convictions. (Bush had very strong 'religious' convictions didn't he? ) To me any sort of religious meddling in politics becomes a theocracy. Lets not forget now the US elections here, and there is already a nut-job wanting to: Huckabee: "Amend Constitution To Be In 'God's Standards' " (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_81600.html) I can think of a few other countries that have their 'constitutions written to reflect god's standards', hrmm let me see; Iran, Saudi Arabia, (practically the whole fscking middle east!). The fact that they are muslim is immaterial only for the fact that Huckabee wants the exact same thing, more 'god' in the US constitution. Some will now say that I can't draw a parallel between Huckabee and muslim countries, but I sure as hell can and will, because I see someone who wants to move the US in a more theocratic direction.

Someone earlier in this thread has mentioned the book 'The God Delusion', which I have had the chance to pick up, and pleasure to read. I am about half-way through it, and so far I have not found anything that I disagree with, and I dare more 'religious' people to try to read it, instead of hiding behind their (insert holy book here), for every answer they give.

just make sure all true bright brains go back(or at least make this their priority of going back) to where they are suppose to be with and into ... and ... and work properly and nothing else ...

maybe much sooner than we would like to think , we should be to see it later on ...

btw , those not so bright ones ... granted to them that they have the right to wait but make sure all of them shut-up and just live properly and work properly for the time being over at our place and nothing else ...

and also ... i dont meant to say about those true bright brains who are buttless naturalized aliens in foreign lands , they can go back and strike rich quick(the more of these people the better) but not "to work" as they are only offering troubles and nothing else ...

Does this mean I have to get rid of Windows 98?

Because religious debates always result at a dead end, where everyone can agree to disagree!

When did you become a guru? That is from Hinduism, and you're not religious.
