I don't think its the Devil, lol if the Devil is real i don't think he would just go around killing people with a gun. :) But i think its a stupid idiot that should be shot on site. It might even be someone from Al-Qaeda. But who ever it is is retarded.

It seems that a lot of people have trouble accepting that people can be actual devils. I think that Jesus' words that I quoted proves that a human can actually be a devil.

And I think that one of the realities of life is that there are devils among us.

Perhaps there are supernatural devils among us, but why do you think that this individual is otherworldly?

There are many mysteries in life of which we are not cognizant. It is very difficult for some people to believe that someone actually walked on water and trurned water into wine--or unto a virgin a son was born.

There is only a thin line of separation between this world and other worlds, other dimensions. Jesus said, "In my Father's house there are many mansions." I think it is one of the realities of life that an actual devil can be born human, that there are devils among us--as Jesus implied when he stated that Judas Iscariot was one.

i don't want to fight will anyone here about there religion. Cause i would lose. But i will never understand why people say well he is killing people so its the devil, sure its the worst thing in the world. But its not the devil. Its just a crazy person. So everything crazy person that kills is the devil no. But thats how people that don't know anything are. Its the samething as people in the 1700's calling people witches cause they did someting different. Man i can't wait til people have a open mind, and not think everything is the devils work. GROW UP and get OUT OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

Um, maybe its a possibility? I said the person if likely human, didnt I? If the devil does exist, dont you think it is a possibility?

i wasn't just talking about you, was I.

(Let's face it: there are no god(s) because everything in universe goes by natural laws which are consequence of math and logic. No room for god(s).

Ancient people did not know who pushes Sun across sky and who makes thunder, so they came up with Apollo and Zeus (and a few dozens of other gods and antigods to run the universe).

We now see these naive superstitions as a honest attempt to fill gaps in limited ancient knowledge about nature.

Fortunately knowledge today fills most of ancient gaps with laws of nature which all mathematically follow from fundamental symmetries (like left=right, today=yesterday, electron#1 = electron#7 and so on), and nature just obeys them.

So Apollo and Zeuses were evicted (or retired) and thanks to education everyone today can take a class (or a textbook) and learn how nature works (=physics, chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy, etc).

No longer we need apollo and zeuses today - they don't push Sun or make big sparks.

Same as a child who trusts his/her parents on Santa, and then suddenly grows up learning very sad truth that it is not Santa who makes and deliver toys - this hypothesis (of Santa) which he/she thought as of "truth" yesterday simply contradicts all observable facts.

Life is chemistry,chemistry is quantum mechanics,quantum mechanics is math.To learn how natural laws,natural forces and natural objects originate from math,click: http://www.emmynoether.com/)

that is from another forum where they are talking about they same thing and i agree completely with the guy that wrote that.

Hold on a second, let's get the full story...

Authorities said they believe the card could have been left by a prankster.

It will probably be better for you to wait until your claim is proven before you start sprouting out your opinions.

The devils wants to be God too.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here.&nbsp; I wonder what it is like to live a little bubble where all good is attributed to the&nbsp;God and all bad is attributed to the devil.&nbsp; It must be very simple.

Hey, I've got an idea though.&nbsp; This sniper is presently terrorizing Maryland.&nbsp; Could one of you guys with a personal realationship with God ask Him who this sniper is so we can put an end to this pointless killing?

Any information would be great.&nbsp; Skin color, race, sex, height, hair color, distinguishing features, home address, etc., etc., etc..

To everyone who is NOT a Christian:

Evil comes from Satan, Good comes from the Lord

Don't argue it, it's not for this thread or any other thread. No one is trying to MAKE YOU believe it. It's something that I believe and most Christians believe.

You have your beliefs. We got over it. Now please get over ours.


EDIT:&nbsp; To say this person is a "devil" or "demon", I cannot.&nbsp; I don't know whether or how often demons (or fallen angels) manifest themselves in visible form.&nbsp; To say this person is "demon possessed", would be a more-than-valid statement, seeing as how we, as Christians, believe that evil comes from Satan.

&nbsp;

EDITx2:&nbsp; ombowstring: to use that verse to qualify what you are saying would be akin to saying the Christian church was founded by Satan... for didn't Jesus say to Peter: "Get behind me Satan!"
