911: Hell on Earth

[libber-tarian]

Excerpt from www.brain-terminal.com:

We saw our magnificent city turned into a war zone. We saw our own people, the guys we stood next to on the subway twice a day, the women on line ahead of us at the bank, the firemen from the station down the street, the cops who protect our neighborhoods, and the ambulance and EMS workers who save our lives daily, we saw these people killed in front of our eyes, with the cameras rolling, live on national TV.

I've always had a certain faith in every human. I've always believed that people at their core were good. And although I believe in God, I've never been one to think too much about whether there is a Satan. The concept seems so outmoded, so medieval. But after witnessing Hell on Earth, after seeing the images of evil played out again and again, after breathing the burnt jet-fuel air, after seeing missing persons posters so often that I began to recognize the names and faces, after realizing that I was now instinctively looking at the sky every time a plane flew by, after living, breathing, dreaming, and seeing nothing but destruction and death, after all these things, how can I be so sure that there is no Satan? How can I be so sure that he didn't show himself to the world on the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001?

Make no mistake, satan didn't do it, people did it.

If there is hell on earth, you can thank people for it.

how can I be so sure that there is no Satan?

After the outpouring of care and compassion, how can you doubt that there is no God? How can you doubt that MOST people ARE good?

One implies the other. Look to the good, not the bad. Look up to God.

Satan is for this world.

[Pechorin]

The goals of terrorists, more specifically these Islamic terrorists, are as follows: Infidels are basically the followers of Satan. The US can be regarded as "The Great Satan." It is our duty to destroy this, "Great Satan." How they have come to this belief is of greater complexity than merely religious belief. It involves many economic and social factors, the US foreign policy has not certainly been helpful in negating such beliefs, but nevertheless, this is what drives their ideology now.

If you are over twelve years of age it isn't possible to think that everyone is good at the core.

[Dirk McQuickly]

Of course people did it, but at the behest of whom....

Satan's greatest offense on humanity wasn't convincing us he exists -- but convincing us he DOESN'T exist.

If you are over twelve years of age it isn't possible to think that everyone is good at the core.

Unfortunately, now even our young children have seen the face of evil - Yet another of the reasons why these bastards must pay.

"...If you are over twelve years of age it isn't possible to think that everyone is good at the core..."

Anne Frank did. It was one of her last diary entries at the age of 14. Then the Nazis found her family's hiding place. She died in a concentration camp.

[OldFriend]

Ann Frank had been isolated in an attic without any interraction to the outside world other than Miep Geiss. I doubt she would have thought the animal who turned the family in was 'good'.
