...with zeal to destroy the Light that is within us?
I mean, I know darkess hates the Light (Jesus).
"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
And I know adversities are eminent.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
But do you experience THIS kind of obsession in your daily lives?

They are blinded by sin. They are indulged in darkness. When a person is captured with lies, he hates the truth. Therefore, they seek to destroy the light in the sense of persecution.
As Christians, we must pray for them earnestly. "Love your enemies," the Lord commands.

No, I think when people are hiding behind a computer screen they are just willing to say things on the Internet that they would never really say in person. It's easy to be a big, tough person on the Internet. I think everyone seems more extreme here than they probably really are.

Luke 17:6
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

We are defending our rights against the intolerance of the religious right in this country, and against muslim extremism, and against all the other bullshit you people shovel into our daily lives, every... single... day.
Get down off of your self-righteousness and smell what your shoveling, oh prince of light...
Edit - I sound tough to you? That's interesting. You sound like a person spouting poetry that has no concept whatsoever of its meaning, to me. I'm sorry that I intimidate you, though. Brains do intimidate the unintelligent.

Swedenborg states "a perception of the sphere of falsity from evil that flows forth from hell has often been granted me. It was like a perpetual effort to destroy all that is good and true, combined with anger and a kind of fury at not being able to do so, especially an effort to annihilate and destroy the Divine of the Lord, and this because all good and truth are from Him. But out of heaven a sphere of truth and good was perceived, whereby the fury of the effort ascending from hell was restrained. The result of this was an equilibrium. This sphere from heaven was perceived to come from the Lord alone, although it appeared to come from the angels in heaven. It is from the Lord alone, and not from the angels, because every angel in heaven acknowledges that nothing of good and truth is from himself, but all is from the Lord" (Heaven and Hell n. 538).
"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).

"seem" is the key word. Anything can seem real when you live in fantasy land.
Oh great, the Swedenborg nut is back.
