In a spiritually inspirational way?

That the devil is the desire to kill, rooted in jealousy of someone favored or perceived favored, then self righteous excusing killing of others favored?

You have a good point...not sure about the devil part but evrything else makes sense to me...the more i read about islam and the "scholarly" papers that have guided it over the centuries it looks like they are very much attacking what they see as more favored or when it should be isalm that is in the drivers seat instead of western world...i.e. greco roman/judeo christian civilization.

No, i believe men and their unacknowledged and untreated issues are behind terrorist attacks. These are men that are filled with hate, anger, and desperation over God only knows what that happened to them in their lives. And because they have no help, no relief, no sign of a change for them or their people, they take desperate, insane measures. I think it is time that we stopped blaming an imaginary bad guy for the atrocities men commit. We are all capable of horrible acts if forced into certain unchangeable circumstances. Those people are no different from you or I except they have no peace from their pain ever.

No. Mankind makes his own choices but certainly evil is always influenced by Satan and his demons.

Here is something to consider in James:

James 1: 12 - 15

Happy is the man that keeps on enduring trial, because on becoming approved he will receive the crown of life, which Jehovah promised to those who continue loving him. When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.

I believe that human beings are behind these attacks. People should take responsibility for their own actions rather than saying the 'devil made me do it'. This is a problem in society today where no one is ever to blame.

The US, for the most part, won a moral victory with WWII. Many other conflicts we have engaged in were for amoral purposes. We destabilized governments around the world, assassinating foreign leaders, until congress prohibited that back in the 1960s. Then we built the "School of the Americas," where we trained some of the world's leading terrorists in torture techniques. We now run foreign gulags, where we torture and kill with impugnity.

How many gooks did we waste in Vietnam? Heck--we killed more people in Cambodia than the Khmer Rouge did.

So is Satan behind terrorist attacks? I think the reason we kill is not out of jealousy but out of greed. Look at the insane profits this war has created for many businesses. And when churches gain control of government, churches become tainted with evil. That is why our nation was founded upon the principle of disestablishmentarianism--a principle now being rapidly eroded by the minions of Lucifer.

"Lucifer" is an angel of light, sent to deceive the world. In this deception he has succeeded most admirably--through the "moral majority," and other satanic antics that have eroded man's respect for all that is holy. Profanity is the mixing of the secular with that which is holy. Stamping God's holy name, for example, upon our filthy lucre, how does that bring honor and glory to God? I have seen God's holy name stuffed into the G strings on the gyrating hips of exotic dancers. Is God magnified? I have seen congressmen bribed by bills bearing God's name which they hid in their freezer. Is God glorified? Wealth is used in schemes to defraud and debilitate the poor and afflicted. How can we continue to respect God (God Bless America) when America sodomizes prisoners, tortures them (all endorsed by God's right hand man--George Bush), violates international treaties, disrespects the Geneva Conventions, abolishes Habeus Corpus, gives public funds to church groups to promote political ideologies (faith based initiatives), and a hoary host of other evils?

The wall between state and church was erected to protect the church. The destruction of that wall has allowed political infiltration of the church to its sore detriment.

I Believe that Satan and god exist within everyone of us and it comes from our right too free will and choice. The purity of the heart and the influence of the mind. I believe that the concept of god is manipulated by the fascist minds too better justify the intent and will of Satan.

I believe that Satan gave means too those whom carry out evil deeds by using moments of weakness and doubt within the heart to show them his way and call it Gods will.

I'm no fan of Vice President Cheney, but I don't think it's realistic to pin 9/11 on him. When you start talking about conspiracy theories about "9/11 being an inside job" you kind of lose credibility with me.

No, I think humans are motivated by a whole host of emotions and drives. Killing is natural to humans. It's how we became the dominant species on Earth.
