when a die-hard leftist appropriates a wise-ass remark made by the archetypal murderer, he is really showing you more about himself than he would like.

ive come to believe that *evil* is more or less required to tip its hand to those it tries to kill...kind of a built in 'leveling of the field' that the Lord put in place to give us a chance against the awesome [but limited] power and knowledge that the father of lies posesses...he knows scripture better than we do, and the *small* untruths and distortions are often a more grand lie than the whoppers...

i also believe that he [satan and bambam] thinks its more fun, and gets his jollies by openly puttin things in our faces and getting away with it...

if we arent studying the Word and helping each other [brothers *keeper*] we [the world] will certainly miss and be inclined to believe more lies than we catch...

When a die-hard leftist appropriates a wise-ass remark made by the archetypal murderer, he is really showing you more about himself than he would like.  I agree.

The sinner (if you will), is generally desisitized to the vileness of his own ways.  This is a concept I use to try to keep myself in check.  A lot of us blunder through life not thinking of this dynamic, and I think we are the worse for it, when we do.

What do my personal behind the curtains activities allow me to show in public, not thinking anything of it?  Is this activity good?  Is it something I would want to have revealed in public.  Is it something that could cause me to act inappropriately in public, thinking it's a normal thing to do?  I believe the person who explains away evil so that he can do what he wants, reveals much in public that he doesn't realize.

For a long time I have thought this way about Blacks who can't accept ownership for their own mistakes.  It has to be someone else's fault.  "Even if what I did was a crime, there is probably a very good reason why I should not be blamed."  All kids and other adults adopt this behavior too, and I'm not here to say all Blacks operate this way either.  It was just a good example.

I've come to believe that *evil* is more or less required to tip its hand to those it tries to kill...kind of a built in 'leveling of the field' that the Lord put in place to give us a chance against the awesome [but limited] power and knowledge that the father of lies posesses...

I agree.  For instance, we know what some politicians will do because we've seen what they've done before.  Why lie to ourselves about what they will do in the future to justify voting for them again?

Why do we sign on to support candidates who are willing to do some of the same things we savage Democrats for doing, when they do it?

There are exceptions to your rule, but I think there are obvious examples of it being true too.  You get little warning of the home invasion and some other crimes.  On the other hand, you can observe how people operate and avoid them too.

he knows scripture better than we do, and the *small* untruths and distortions are often a more grand lie than the whoppers...

I agree.  Blurring the truth is a very subtle way to get folks to misunderstand the truth.  Plausible cover stories for explaining away the truth are often subtle, and ultimately very dangerous.

And along these lines, I believe we have much more to fear from people in our own ranks, than we do from people we know are our enemies.  We can generally develop a defense against those we know to be our ideological (and worse) enemies.  It's much harder to defend against being stabbed in the back.  And when folks on our side triangulate with our enemies, it can be devistating.


i also believe that he [satan and bambam] thinks its more fun, and gets his jollies by openly puttin things in our faces and getting away with it...

Yep, that's Bill Clinton to a tee also.  More and more I think it's our Congress-critters too.  They thumb their noses at us and do as they damn well please.

if we arent studying the Word and helping each other [brothers *keeper*] we [the world] will certainly miss and be inclined to believe more lies than we catch...

I agree.
