Thank you for your generous response to my last work. I owe all my
good fortune in the world to G-d. I am certain that we can make this
Group a happy place where people can enjoy their hobby without
unkindness. In the end, we are all members of the same family!!

My new poem rather breaks new territory for me, (and perhaps you as
well!). I hope it is not too dark in tone.


DEVIL WORSHIP


When you sup with the Devil
you eat dark satanic meals
If you ride with the Devil
you no longer enjoy free wheels
and so my friends
don't you think it odd
that anyone here
should prefer him to G-d.

Paula,

Ah! The sound of manna dripping from manna machines.
Ms Paula, as a poem it is weak, as a supposition it is baseless, as a
statement it fails completely, it is a theological discourse but I do admire
your sand considering the forum you have chosen to mount your pulpit in.
For me to give credence to your poem and statement I would have accept an
anthropomorphic theory of the world and abandon logic and reason, not all
together, just enough to accommodate the inherent vanities of man, if I do
that then who do I serve, if not myself then whom? Sounds as crass
hedonism don't it, or a fair trade? My eternal soul for the yet another
boot heel on the back of my neck.
If in his image then we are as he is we; perverts, thieves, idiots, if
history were, as religion demands then it is circular, alpha and omega, then
the joke is on us all.
If you want me to abandon logic and reason you're going to have to do better
then this:

You must be a troll.

That's not true, actually. Last week, Lucifer and I enjoyed a rather tasty
soufflé.

Also untrue. Since Satan owns most of the car companies (except all the
Japanese ones -- God got lucky), he gets all the free wheels he wants.

Hmm, no.

> don't you think it odd

There's no question mark, so this *must* be a statement.

What has God ever done for me? Nada. What has the devil done for me? At
least provided some interesting literature.

Thank you for reading. I am not unworldly and I know what a troll is.
But my only purpose here is to spread happiness.

We must always strive to recognise our weaknesses. We must always
thank G-d for our strengths. Yes, we live in an imperfect world but
that must make you try even harder each day to bring G-d into our
lives.

I hope you follow the Path, Michael. I will pray for you.

It is not vital for me that you like my poetry. I thank you for
commenting on it with mannas. I know it is demanding material. But
then so is following G-d in a modern world.

Paula,

Believe me there's nothing vile or dark enough for this cluster of vile
satan worshippers called 'aapc'. You have see some examples at work
already. Those were the lesser demons, hardly demons at all. There are
far worse beings hanging around here, commafuckers whose souls are like
dark paperclips - not a glint of hope for salvation. The pope called
holland 'one big slimey pool full of sinners' once so believe me, I know
what I am talking about! It surprises me that the chief hasn't responded
to your messages yet. Good luck!

Martijn

Spreading happiness is OT.

And all artists are Lucifers in the Platonist sense. Priests are the
guardians of mysteries and poets are their disseminators.

But spreading peanut butter and legs is not, and that would spread
happiness, eh?

Actually, the Republicans own most of the car companies, and even
Satan can't compete with /them/, so he founded his own company about
ten years ago. Innovative or merely an outsider, he came up with the
"third door" bit and the "dentless doors" bit, but, as usual, he still
can't spell his own name correctly, or awful things will happen.

Good, I always wanted to disseminate seminarians.
