What would the Devil have driven?
Since it's pretty much settled that Jesus would have ridden a bike,
let's debate now what the Devil would have driven... On Jan 9, 12:22 pm, "David V." wrote: donquijote1954 wrote: I thought he drove an SUV. "The Devil" does not exist. But you do remind me of Don Quixote. His SUV polluted too. DonQuixote rode a horse, Rocinante, and Sancho rode a donkey, like Jesus. The Devil does not exist but Christians are often found doing evil things. I have no doubt in my mind though that the Devil would have driven an SUV if he existed.

What would the Devil have driven?
I'm not of any religious persuasion that is easy to explain, but I find the
fact that you keep making all sorts of flames based on religion is getting to be a little offensive. "donquijote1954" wrote in message ...

Personally I don't believe in any of the whole supreme being deal or the devil for that matter. But if I did I would say the devil would have driven something with an evil sounding name like "Viper" |

It is the most beautiful and terrible city on earth. All good, all evil exist there-- and if you know where to look, you can find the Devil. He drives down 42nd street in a Cadillac with black windows. He lives down on Park Avenue surrounded by his servants." -- from _Bliss_ by Peter Carey |

I saw him just the other day, driving a six-wheeled Ford F-350, all alone, tailgating and talking on a cell phone.

It's all too macho for me. Even my Jordan Jr. High, named after David Starr Jordan, an ichthyologist, were naturally the Dolphins, but were recently rechristened to the Cheetahs, the former name being to soft. Team sports are America's unifying religion. Just watch what men read first after buying a newspaper before boarding the train/bus/trolly. The fiercer the better, but we weren't always that way. Some older teams kept their civilized names like Orioles, man what a namby pamby name. How can you follow the exploits of such a team. Gino Bartali vs. Lance Armstrong, the all American boy! Oops that was Jack Armstrong. Jobst Brandt |

I have no doubt in my mind though that the Devil would have driven an SUV if he existed. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLEhttp://webspawner.com/users/donquijote The devil probably rides a bicycle from time to time. Perhaps this could happen by his assuming human form and engaging in whatever activity is conducive, at the moment, to lead a person into sin, which could include riding a bike. Or it could happen via demonic possession. Consider this summary from the Catholic Encyclopedia: "Assuming the reality of demoniac possession, for which the authority of Christ is pledged, it is to be observed that Jesus appealed to His power over demons as one of the recognised signs of Messiahship (Matthew 12:23, 28; Luke 11:20). He cast out demons, He declared, by the finger or spirit of God, not, as His adversaries alleged, by collusion with the prince of demons (Matthew 12:24, 27; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15, 19); and that He exercised no mere delegated power, but a personal authority that was properly His own, is clear from the direct and imperative way in which He commands the demon to depart (Mark 9:24; cf. 1:25 etc.): "He cast out the spirits with his word, and he healed all that were sick" (Matthew 8:16). Sometimes, as with the daughter of the Canaanean woman, the exorcism took place from a distance (Matthew 15:22 sqq.; Mark 7:25). Sometimes again the spirits expelled were allowed to express their recognition of Jesus as "the Holy One of God" (Mark 1:24) and to complain that He had come to torment them "before the time", i.e the time of their punishment (Matthew 8:29 sqq; Luke 8:28 sqq.). If demoniac possession was generally accompanied by some disease, yet the two were not confounded by Christ, or the Evangelists. In Luke 13:32, for example, the Master Himself expressly distinguishes between the expulsion of evil spirits and the curing of disease. Christ also empowered the Apostles and Disciples to cast out demons in His name while He Himself was still on earth (Matthew 10:1 and 8; Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1; 10:17), and to believers generally He promised the same power (Mark 16:17). But the efficacy of this delegated power was conditional, as we see from the fact that the Apostles themselves were not always successful in their exorcisms: certain kinds of spirits, as Christ explained, could only be cast out by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:15, 20; Mark 9:27-28; Luke 9:40). In other words the success of exorcism by Christians, in Christ's name, is subject to the same general conditions on which both the efficacy of prayer and the use of charismatic power depend. Yet conspicuous success was promised (Mark 16:17). St. Paul (Acts 16:18; 19:12), and, no doubt, the other Apostles and Disciples, made use of regularly, as occasion arose, of their exorcising power, and the Church has continued to do so uninterruptedly to the present day." Demonic possession isn't widely reported these days but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Too often people think that if they didn't hear about it in the mainstream media, it didn't happen. Anyway demoniacs can carry on all the normal activities of daily life, and that surely includes riding a bike. |
