“The tactics of Satan..”

Thu 24 May 2007, 4:04pm

The First Minister, being a believer in the supernatural, has his own particular strategy for dealing with awkward witnesses.. as this Belfast Telegraph report details

It starts: “It is the ploy of Satan to attack those whom God has signally appointed and specially anointed as leaders in His work.” A source close to the DUP leader confirmed the article was aimed at members of the church, most of whom have access to the monthly Revivalist magazine. “The tactics of Satan have not changed and the Bible was written that we might be prepared for similar satanic attacks upon the leaders of God’s work today,” Mr Paisley wrote.

In related news, via Will Crawley, Christopher Hitchens clearly isn’t a fan of self-declared men of faith in politics..

And yes, before anyone asks, I am going to hell.

    Dude Jesus traveled with 12 other dudes and, apparently, never married.

    Why are discussions about homosexuality always so quick to descend into graphic depictions of sexual acts, many of which are enjoyed by heterosexual couples. For how many people are solely defined by sexual preference?

    Leviticus – you didn’t answer my question about hair-cutting. What about men who shave their beards, sinners or not? If you want to believe in a book that was written well after the fact, go ahead, but there is no need for everyone else to believe it. I have read many fine books, but that doesn’t mean I should force everyone else to believe in it. Shoddy and not very Christian.

    And as for Satan, no one can even seem to decide on what Hell might be, stoked fires licking at your flesh or the the painful absence of God. Either way, you’re as well believing in the Tooth Fairy. Do you believe in Santa as well?
