There's gonna be two very disparate halves to this post. Hold on to your butts.
This is what happens when I write Satan:
--- Quote ---Lucifer sits back on his throne if one could call it that, an obsidian chair raised no higher then any others in the great hall. "I am the Bright and Morning Star, as the humans have called me. Another translation of my many names is "light bringer". Humanity survives because I went to them and gave them what God would not. Reason, curiosity, the sweet succour and poison of knowledge. Without reason, without knowledge then free will is nothing. For what use is the freedom to make choices without knowledge and the ability to reason the impact of those decisions? This is the war humanity has been waging it's entire existence. The war between Heaven and Hell in microcosm, each human able to be Angel and Demon in equal amounts, and both of those beings capable of terrible and wonderful things. Freedom or control, justice or law, dogma or wisdom... this is the battleground in which you have found yourself elevated to young angel and you have come into your enemy's camp."

And now some thoughts.
It spreads like disease.There's no sign of peace. Religion and greed, cause millions to bleed. Three decades of war.

Originally about the 30 Years War, this song's been weighing heavy on me recently as we approach the anniversary of the 1983 suicide bombing in Beirut Lebanon that took the lives of 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers, along with the lives of 58 French paratroopers and further wounding 143 troops. Most historians and military strategists mark this as the opening shot of "The Long War" against Extremist Islam that has now lasted for over three decades. I'm not really going any where with this, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Could be worse. Could be the Hundred Years War.
