Well, I went to page 45 or so of the big book, and read the couple of articles written 'over there' in the foxholes. I could find no 'raping of the planet'. One article was rather unmemorable, but one was quite fascinating of the parable (Look in the Chapter list for "Diabolicon") concerning obedient and rebellious angels. Acquino has quite the gift for the 'channeling, transcribing, automatic, noetic' style of writing.

I found the section with the pictures, and enjoyed the pics of a young Acquino, smiling, happy like a kid running amok in the cosmic mystical candy store of life. No 'evil' there. Now, the pics of LeVey show him to be a rather cold and calculating sort of guy, but even that freezer face I can't call outright 'evil'.

A strange thought hit me: what if all this wild exchange, (which might be driving our poor hostess nuts), has been nothing more than you coming to the group with a bit of Loki-spirit, playing 'devil's advocate'. Or, in this case, perhaps 'obedient angels' advocate?

Consider it, your mish mash of anti-Setian comments sound as if they could have been served up from the choicest of nasty letters the Temple no doubtingly receives. If you truly were in favor of Islamic thought taking over the planet, as Bin Laden favors, what would you want with a still obscure and/or somewhat unpopular Egyptian deity? You'd be hovering in the homes of those 'submissive' to the will of Allah, or at best hanging with those fearful of Yahweh.

Yup, the gig's up.

If I'm horribly and presumptiously wrong on this one, you better study yourself to see what you really value in life, instead of spouting whatever popular criticisms that are floating around among the masses.

In any case, it's been a fascinating exchange. And now we gotta 'play nice' and give our poor hostess some peace. I've noticed of the name you've selected to represent your self, that if you rearrange the letters, it can read 'no war'. I suggest from now on, 'no war'.

But, as I've said, it's been interesting. Each post you made has just sent me further into the works of 'the great Satan', or the 'second great Satan', or second cousin twice removed from his greatness. Which, once again, makes me think, if not an 'obedient angels' advocate', you've surely ended up anyway as a tool of 'the forces of darkness', as I delve deeper into those secluded quarters where the 'rebels' play.
