Hilarious and Disturbing

This is bizarre. This is hilarious. This is tender and helpful and threatening all at the same time. This is Jawbone Radley. This is my brother.

The Non-Christian's Collaboration in the Cosmic Struggle Against the Devil

Theosophy, Pierre Abelard, and Koreshanity!
Immortality! Love! And Despair!
If you didn't grow up growing to church, and sometimes if you did, you have a hard time feeling comfortable in one. The coolest woman in the world, whom I married, is an Episcopalian who's made me feel right at home with Christians, and whereas my struggle had been to distance myself from what I viewed as superstitious brainwashing, I now can let down my defenses and see Biblical truth and beauty.

Scriptural ideas often have to be modified to fit my world-view before I can agree with some of the premises, however. One thing I've always had a hard time with is the character of Satan. Most scientific-minded people have a hard time believing there's an evil entity trying to torture you.
But I realized recently that if you think of the Devil as just negative energy, as fear which leads to anger, spite, etc., then I can agree that the way that energy spreads in a community is exactly like a lifeform. It can reproduce itself and even self-perpetuate within one person, and it does so faster and more insidiously than happy friendliness. In this way, if we consciously block the tendency to pay it forward, we are essentially fighting against the Devil.

Fit and Freaky Onscreen and Ingame

All this girl wants is to be a prostitute and take drugs, and instead she gets lectured about nutrition and fitness. You can just see her dreams sink into the murk. ("Ich betäube mich" by Deichkind featuring Sarah Walker)
