I am surprised you weren't familiar with that part, it is very common in discussions in Christianity.

And even if youre NOT familiar with Christianity, its in the Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. In the first chapters. You could look it up.

... I'm not a big fan of political or religious bumper stickers in general.

If I'm going to waste my time reading it, it better be damn funny. . I have better things to do while waiting at a stop light.

I saw a bumper sticker that said:

Jesus loves you!
   ... but everyone else thinks you're an a**hole

I can't find one anywhere.

Cars with Christian stickers, especially that insidious fish, get a coin scratch all the way up the body of the car. If they are real Christians, they will consider such acts a blessing, for it is a blessing to be persecuted so they say.

That's a crappy thing to do. You know, lotsa people buy a used car and never think about the fish stickers.

People discuss all kinds of silly things. Doesn't make any of them true. Hint: Heb 2.

[Jon Miller]

I don't think that Heb 2 says any part on the subject?

Maybe it is a version issue?

I will read it again with commentary + etc later.

Well, if by 'arch-enemy' you mean 'most significant of enemies,' the devil qualifies, but barely. The devil's not really an arch-enemy in the supervillian sense. In terms of relative power, he's just another version of the prodigal son who happens to act out more. He's no threat to God, only to us, and only because God allows him to pitch his schpiel so we can choose which side we want to be on for ourselves.

Bkeela: WRT the fish sticker, assuming you're not talking about the one eating the Darwin-fish (which is obnoxiousness in response to obnoxiousness, and stupid), there's nothing hypocritical or self-righteous about it. It's an ancient Xian symbol, originally used as a sort of password we could use to identify ourselves to one another during times of persecution. It's sort of convoluted in origin, hence its value as a secret sign: the Greek word for 'fish,' Icthys (Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma), can be used as an acronym for 'Jesus Christ God Son Savior.' It signifies only 'the driver/owner of this car is a Christian.' It's not telling you you're going to Hell, or that gays are evil, or anything like that. It's an obscure historical reference. Your anger towards it is inexplicable.

Exactly, Elok. The devil doesn't threaten God.

My friend of last year had that bumper sticker on her car. She's the one I have mentioned here before. She thinks I'm an ******* now. I should have never told her I wanted to **** her. big mistake.

If she was talking to me I'd ask her where she got it from.
