morwenhad a jevohah's witness around this morning. kept her busy for a good long while. she was unable to answer quite basic moral questions about genesis.
i tried to convert her to gnosticism but this didn't work and she said that satan had done well with me. at this point i closed the door. the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster will have to wait until another opportunity.

"That rebellious angel came to be known as "the original serpent." (Revelation 12:9; 2 Corinthians 11:3) He is also named Satan, meaning "Opposer," and Devil, meaning "Slanderer." He called into issue the rightness and righteousness of Jehovah's rulership of earth, and he challenged God that now he, Satan, could turn all mankind aside from true worship. God has allowed Satan some 6,000 years to attempt to prove his challenge, so that the issue over Jehovah's sovereignty might be settled for all eternity. Man-rule independent of God has failed miserably. But men and women of faith, among whom Jesus is the outstanding example, have kept integrity to God under the severest trials, vindicating Jehovah and proving the Devil a liar.

So all suffering is due to a bet of vanity between God and Satan.
