... do note it's in an area where awareness of such issues is both particularly rare and generally toxic when it's even on the radar, insofar as everything C's mentioned so far. Kids that age can be pretty stupid anyway, but there's some aggravating factors in this particular case.

Think C was looking for the "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" (Non-Murphy* Golden Rule.)bit, however it ends up being translated, but m'not entirely sure on that. Though apparently not, so *shrugs*

*Murphy's golden rule is, of course, "He who has the gold makes the rules."

... though yeah, to that thing, I've done similar at home and it's... eh. S'alright. I personally wouldn't use that kind of chicken -- better, imo, is to take a large (probably boneless) breast, overcook it a bit so it's fairly dry and nearly bread-like (while still being delicious chicken), and then slice it almost in half (like hotdog bun) and place hotdog within.

... so don't cook it with grease. Bake the bacon, then press out whatever juicy is left. Alternately, turkey bacon, the seventh-fold splendor of baconated fowl.

Then you place the bacon upon the pizza and the cheese upon the bacon and everything holds still and is consumed in a delicious orgy of pizzaificious wonder.

How in the nine hells did you screw up bacon pizza? Seriously, as pizzas go bacon pizza is among the most high.

"An' it harm none, do what you will shall be the whole of the law."

Gods know I wouldn't and don't judge most people by the metrics I judge myself.

Definitely the one less likely to be the clap.

15668
Yeah, more or less. Most folks here are either christian or some variety of non-religious that grew up around them/as one. There's a smattering of other stuff mumbling around, but other things are definitely underrepresented among the forum-goers. Or at least the ones that risk talking on the subject, anyway :P

I'd say you're one of the few that have twisted their perception of things into that particular pretzel. If nothing else, I'd rather imagine folks are distracted by the obvious and significant differences. Like the hair and the child molestation.

Doesn't the bible passages afterwards just point it as a title for King Nebuchadnezzar in Issia 14? Is there anyone else Lucifer might be?
Vaguely remember something along those lines, for that first bit. As for the second, well, people've mangled it into all sort of things over the years, apparently. As demonstrated by th'fact it's commonly assumed to be th'adversary's name, ha.

15671
The Bible says that Lucifer is bound until Judgment Day, when presumably they will be burned with the chaff or be deemed to have repented and will be gathered up.
It... kinda' doesn't, because lucifer isn't... isn't the thing. From the strictly biblical perspective. What people have taken to calling lucifer may be, depending on whether the thing being talked about in that particular passage is actually the same thing talked about in others (which is significantly debatable). But lucifer (halel) is mentioned something like precisely once, and not in relation to that.

Poor ol' scratch is shoehorned into doing so very much nowadays ;_; Mistaken identities, mis-attributed acts, slander of character... if the thing existed, it could totally sue the blazes out of the churches for libel. Critter would have enough grounds for civil suits to rebuild babel. And all that mostly for being one of YWHW's test proctors.
I don't think it says where. For what is for attempting to overthrow God.
... you actually have a quote for that latter bit?

15672
Aye, ninja'd. Honestly, most "knowledge" of angels, demons, etc., etc. comes from stuff that's not of the primary texts, that-which-is-called-satan (which could actually be several different things rolled into one, or, as USEC notes, something more symbolic than actual) included. The biblical texts themselves are really sparse on anything explicit regarding that sort of thing.

Satan isn't even the critter's name, it's a derivative of what amounts to an adjective or descriptor, coming from an old word for Adversary -- to the extent it's actually a thing, no specific name is given. Similarly, there's only two angels named in the bible. Stuff like that's fairly common, insofar as the main texts go. The supplementary fanfiction is where most of that stuff gets drawn from, heh.

15673
Do note the bible doesn't really say that :P

15674
Nah, satan's entirely subservient to god insofar as anything actually biblical is concerned. Just like everything else.

15675
One of the holy texts, yes. More or less. To a certain extent, it's more like a religiously inclined Iliad or somethin'. Just, uh. Part of an epic poem that's several times the iliad's length.

I'd recommend most of the hindu holy texts, honestly, on the basis that a lot of them are beautiful writings that contain many truths, regardless of whether you agree with the overall metaphysical assumptions. They're worth reading just to read, basically.
