Barbara Nicolosi Talks to the Devil

This is way too funny - it seems the devil has Barbara Nicolosi's e-mail address.  Here are some of my favorite lines.  And please note that the devil speaks in italics while Barbara and other humans speaks in parentheses. 

I am not afraid of challenging myself and my beliefs, and keeping an open mind.

[NOTE FROM CHESTERTON: Those with open minds tend to leave their brains poured out all over the side-walk....NOTE FROM BARB: When exactly should a mind close on a subject? Ever? How many times does your wife need to tell you she loves you before you close your mind on the subject and believe her?...And honestly, judging from your writing style and arguments here, you should be - if not afraid - a little more careful about the conclusions of your unaided intellect.]

During Jesus' ministry, he did exactly that as well. He upset the status quo. He tried to change the prevailing attitudes, especially the dangers of a politicized Church hierarchy.

[NOTE FROM HEAD-SCRATCHING HISTORIAN: Um, there was no "Church" around for Jesus to try and change. He IS the Church always. He certainly took on the Jewish establishment, but He did it as an observant Jew... NOTE FROM FRANK SHEED: So you are just like Jesus? Well, would you mind making a rabbit, just for confidence sake?]

Dan Brown wrote a great NOVEL.

[NOTE FROM ANYBODY WHO LIKES GOOD LITERATURE: (Sigh.) Do not pass the fifth grade. Do not collect a high school diploma. Go directly to literature jail.]

[So tell me, I bet Satan talks about truth in "narrative" rather than "propositional" form. And also believes we need to base church association based on "relationship", rather than on "belief". Right? :) ]

So the DVC fanboys are coming out of the woodwork. Sigh.

Anybody know an albino who's willing to dress as a monk and mess with their minds a bit?

Hi, forgive me for posting this here in your comments; I couldn't find your email address :)

Please spread the word and join the blogburst calling for a Boycott of Sony Corporation. This is a way for Christians to unite worldwide! Sony has been treating their Christian customers with complete disdain and arrogance, refusing to put in a disclaimer in the DVC movie and insisting that the film will be released on schedule in Asian countries in spite of protests and hunger strikes. Here is my blog post on it, with contact info and addresses:

Please spread the word and let's get the entire worldwide Christian blogging community involved in this!We will make Sony sorry for offending its Christian customers!

Thank you! And may God bless you immensely.

In Christ,
Georgette

I saw you on "The World Over" this week and I am very mpressed by your message. It seems that many do not see the danger that "The DaVinci Code" poses to peoples beliefs concerning Christianity in general and the Catholic Church in particular. I am not an overtly supernatural individual but I do believe that Satan works subtly and often through the media. Many in Hollywood seem to be adamantly anti-Christian to begin with and this movie is a very good vdhicle to distribute there prejudices. As you stated and I here paraphrase, you cannot argue succesfully with fiction even though it may be presented as fact. Thanks for your efforts.
