PSALMS CHAPTER 2
1 ¶ Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

Right, section hand. Satan has a couple major tasks before God’s done with him. 6th seal, 6th trump, 6th viel and at the end of the millennium when he’s turned loose for a short time. Then it’s into the lake of fire with his sorry butt.

Because they imagine a vain thing.That they can rule the world minus God.

How are you defining the word "Heathen"? If your definition of "heathen" is one who does not accept the christian faith, then I say that "heathens" rage because we see reality as it is instead of blindly following documents that have been forged, rewritten, and have in effect become meaningless over the span of time, although it is debateable whether christianity was ever useful to humans, except for the elites who rule/ruled the rest of the people, because organized religion makes it easier to turn people into followers who do not question the tyranny of their leaders."Heathens" rage because whether or not there is an afterlife and some all knowing deity or set of dieties to answer to after we die, what's important is what we do here, and now, and what we preserve for future generations. Christians have become blind hypocrites, raised on materialism and unaware of reality as it is.
If your definition of "heathen" is a traditional one, meaning, one who is uncultured and ignorant, I would say that heathens rage because they could never understand the world as it is.

Another sermon in the guise of a question.
Can we start another drinking game based on Cut N Paste preachers?

Please. I don't answer to Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah or any of the middle eastern tribal powers.
I honor the indigenous folkway of the northern european peoples. Their honorable culture, their values of independence, self-reliance, and hospitality... and their gods of wisdom and might.
HAIL THOR!!!

I think it's is because they get tired of being told that they are going to hell if they don't believe in some certain way.
