This guy is in for a lot of woe.

So true; I used to love watching the History Channel, now I have no interest at all...

[kearnyirish2]

They are very actively working to undermine your faith, and if they can’t do that they’ll work on the next generation...

[Arlis]

Maybe he should meditate on what Jesus said about Satan........as Jesus is the ultimate authority on scripture and everything else.....

[Little Ray]

Wow.
Hell’s minions are getting more and more blatant.
Satan is walking among us, making rude gestures, and we refuse to see him.

The very old gentleman is a "distinguished research professor of English,"

"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English..."

Note the red communist star on the old schmuck's shirt.

I just finished writing a novel in which I wanted to introduce the Devil but give a different slant to what he was and his attributes. I needed to give him some sort of limitation, so I conceived of him as being restricted to telling only the truth, which he uses as a weapon to play upon the guilt of sinners and cause them to despair of being able to aspire to the divine. His hell is full of souls who remain there of their own free will, unable to face the shame and guilt of their worldly transgressions. By acting so, the Devil assuages his own guilt--the more damned souls, the less the guilt. (Very similar to the way in which homosexuals seek to force acceptance of their vice on the rest of society, and for the same reason.)

Of course one of his chief aims is to convince the sinner that God exists, because otherwise there is little guilt to act upon.

Sounds like the article writers couldn’t tell the difference of this either.

Even if Sheldon Cooper were a real theoretical physicist and this Dr. Kelly were a chemist or geologist or herpetologist, they would have no greater competence or expertise in interpreting the Bible and religious writings than you or I would.

[Tax-chick]

It doesn’t make any more sense after the coffee.

Note the red communist star

Good eye!

[IronJack]

This has been the goal of the pomo movement all along: erase any distinction between good and evil.

Couch this bullshyte in fancy scholastic language and publish it in some dry, unread academic tome and suddenly it becomes authoritative ... something more than a fevered lie.

[b4me]

what a waste of 39 years 51 weeks of this researchers”work” life and for those who support him. If he’d read the bible with an open mind not preconceived thoughts of his own, God would likely knock his socks off and get him spending his work time doing something much greater than he thinks he has been doing.

[buffaloguy]

I think this sounds like a really hoaky attempt to get a special on the discovery channel. This is right inside their wheelhouse.

Follow the money.

[onedoug]

There is lots of evidence for only One God in the universe, though absolutely none for the so-called Devil anywhere therein until human beings developed the capability of abstracting “him” from within their own minds.

[Rebelbase]

Because I always trust my spiritual needs to scientists....

[Kriggerel]

...And this professor was able to get “research” funding for this meaningless dreck?

[gr8eman]

He’s got a backbone here in Virginia! Really good beer! Maybe he’s not such a bad guy after all! LoL!

[chesley]

He says that like it’s a bad thing. Isn’t the elimination of pain the basis on which “ethicists” make all their solemn pronouncements such as abaortion being a good?

[Vaquero]

herpetologist? A snake scientist. How appropriate
