PICS VIII: 10% LARGER THAN PICS VII

[Cain]

So...if God had been more equality minded, original sin and hell wouldn't exist?

I'm not convinced they entirely thought through the implications of that.

Well, like many people, they've conflated Satan with Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't demand equal rights for the rest of the angels -- only for himself. So, it sort of misunderstands or misrepresents the position of rights movements. I'm unfamiliar with any rights movement that doesn't demand equality between two classes of people. When a single person demands rights equal to that of their superior, that's not usually called an equal rights movement -- that's usually called a coup, and the former superior gets executed or demoted pretty quickly afterward.

Thank you for clarifying that, I can't tell you how incensed I get having to always shoot down the disparagingly petty indignities hurled at me, over and over again.

Once upon a time, I may have misunderstood the ontology of my request, for which I paid dearly.  I did my time.  Now, no one really wants that lesson recapitulated, I think.

I have not had any sleep in days, and last night my significant other's dog bit me on the eye-brow.  See what I mean...

Maybe the dog got tired of your sonambulistic Parmedian ramblings and wanted to put an end to you?

I know, so ironic, right?  Although I fear it may be that he misunderstands his position in the master bedroom, and so on.

I think that the claim that the one referred to as the morning star is meant to represent an angel at all is pretty tenuous.

Lucifer wasn't an angel, just some king who thought he was awesome and Isaiah's author was mocking him for being dead.

That must provide a key to the irony of his story.  I mean, if he was mocked for having fallen, then his rising again in the morning must have been quite confusing.
