Satan doesn't rule this world, man does...

The spirit world is in full control-- most mortals are satans puppets. Not a single govt on this earth does Gods will. Satan offered to Jesus--EVERY kingdom on this earth( because he rules them)A kingdom makes up--govt, armies, supporters)
Jesus taught satan is the ruler of this world. It is not wise to stand in opposition to the son of YHWH.

What this world has turned into is what a lack of listening to God does. Selfishness is the reason most are suffering.

As Jehovah is my witness, religion turns brains into paranoid sludge factories.

Instead of stuff like "Quantum reality opens the solar system itself to divine transcendence" it would be in quasi-Elizabethan English and far darker. Stuff like "Blasphemers! Idolaters! How shall you escape the judgment of God, ye who passeth the covenant between the parts of the calf! Behold, your place is left unto thee desolate, and thou art given into the hands of thine enemies, to become a laughingstock and a byword among the nations."

You mean stuff like this?

Quote:
Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Folks who claim a prophetic gift tend to adopt the same stentorian tone as the Old Testament (and the more authoritarian parts of the new) much as Joseph Smith authored the Book of Mormon in quasi-Elizabethan English. Your link just uses the Psalms as a source of royalty-free text for the purpose of populating sample web layouts in various languages.

If I had the time I would write a faux-scripture BS generator myself, it would be a fun project.

There y'go Richard. Man does not rule the world, Stan rules the world though men. But, kjw, God made Satan didn't he? And he could destroy or at least remove Stan if he wanted, couldn't he? (if you want to say "No, He couldn't" to either of those, feel free, and we'll alter the discussion accordingly ) and so, if he allows that situation to continue, it is because it suits him to, doesn't it? And therefore, God is ruling the world through Satan, isn't he? Or at least, he is letting the game be payed according to God's own rules. And if he is making the rules, why is it either ourselves or Satan who has to take the responsibility?

I know why, but, do you?

Then did I eschew the ways of faith, and chose an epistemology that hath been proven. Then did my righteousness flow as a mighty river, no longer called forth on threat of eternal suffering, but from free volition: and then did I find my life explicable and became content withall.

Now therefore, comest thou no more into the midst of the people, saying, peace, peace, where there is no peace. Take thy failed reasoning and unctuous pronouncements and go thither into the outer darkness, where is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, which thous rejoiceth in apparently.
