Pokemon teaches kids that they can make demon-like beings obey them
Were Christfags in the 90s somehow getting Pokemon mixed up with Shin Megami Tensei or what?

Persona has this guy which is based. NHH
The exact same guy who was leading the Christian Pokemon hate movement tired the same thing with Fortnite. He argued things like the Battle Bus being blue is meant to to symbolize Hindu and is therefore satanic propaganda meant to teach kids to worship false gods.
no anon they never knew what SMT was
get this anon. sometimes people MAKE SHIT UP. people LIE and say UNTRUTHs. you can verify and test this yourself through interacting with any newfag on the website. once you disagree with them over any trivial matter they will immediately make up semantic facts about YOU even
Time repeats itself

There was also some nigger pastor named Creflo Dollar who said that phallic-shaped Pokemon like Weedle, Charmander, and Mew and Ash and Brock's relationship promoted homosexuality
>Pokemon teaches kids that they can make demon-like beings obey them
But enough about the goyim, I thought following jewish teaching was one of the most Christian things you could do
Were Christfags in the 90s somehow getting Pokemon mixed up with Shin Megami Tensei or what?
No. It was simply grifters exploiting Christianity to try and get a cut of that sweet Pokemania pie from law suits.

Question mark?
Who the fuck is that guy? I know a similar guy with sunglasses
Creflo Dollar
Creflo Dollar also beat his daughter nearly into a coma and was arrested on multiple counts of aggravated assault and was found to be evading taxes even outside of the church, and had a multi-million dollar televangelist organization before he did that.

fleecing telechristians is a morally correct thing to do
Isn't an exorcism forcing demons to obey you?
Are priests Satanists?
no anon they never knew what SMT was
It's unfair, really. The actual children's game about summoning demons was right under their noses
As expected of Anon Babble to have misplaced respect in actual villains.
Are priests Satanists?
Why do you think they rape children
Because they're following a Semitic God.
cuz children are sexy?
They also visit front line soldiers during war time to assure them that murder is OK and not a sin if it's for the military.
it's respectful to be a unrepentant piece of human shit masquerading as a force of pure good because somebody had turn off their brain to let him do that.
powerful strongman
isnt this redundant?
Only Christians would say that a series about making friends, forming close bonds, and fighting evil is "corrupting the youth"
If anything it makes them gambling addicts.
Fortnite
Back when boomers, X's, and millennial could find common ground and agreed that game was shit and needed curbing. If only those normalfags were smart enough to actually play the game they would have found out kids only liked it for the shitty business practice and not the game itself.
in every religion there's a subset of retards who take it too seriously and of course if you believe you know about the real life metagame you're going to be upset people aren't taking it as seriously as you are.
In their mind it's like real life is competitive ranked but everyone is playing off-meta and roleplaying for some reason.
No, republicans are just this retarded, even now.
Anon Babbleniggers seething about their culture war is the moderna continuation of this kind of behaviour.
Holy shit.
Given the last few years and the absurd demonic shit they tried to force on kids, I'm finding myself a lot more understanding towards parents who do stuff like this
honk honk not to make it political but right wingers of all stripes will deny this shit to hell and back. don't let them get away from the fact that they used to be (and for the most part still are) the pearl clutchers
Wait till they find out about these demons called "dogs".
Yet now left wingers (they're not really) are doing this nowadays.
They wanted to ban my dog the other day, just ask PETA.
Where's Pascal?
not realizing he is the person who does that
Jehovah's Witnesses have a problem with that too. They especially don't like the making friends part.
Local handyman Mr Hilter.
And yet left wingers claim that all the time about church cults.
That's Mel Brooks you uncultured swine
My point is, fuck normalfags and their obsession with forcing shit down your throat.
Too late. It's political now.

Evangelist have been running the outrage porn grift for years. American cuckservatives and republitards are largely running on the same platform of invented boogiemen and stoking people's fears. Which is why Trump and his sycophantic followers keep trying to find new scapegoats to misdirect his followers attention to while exacerbating the issues of income equality and infrastructure neglect, while giving the upper (nobility) tax cuts.
She's not wrong

This came from a man. Women aren't allowed to speak out independently in church.

Yes, let's now talk about AI and why the left use AI like the right use Chinese products and economic fuckery.
It's just bourgeoisie depriving the proletariat shit deliberately through markups and wilful negligence all over again.
Or as I call them - masters and slaves. Fuck off with the fancy french snob words. Call a spade a nigger.
You're retarded.
yes, pokemon are EVIL

These go against the teachings of the talmud
i transed my kids to protect them from xians, lets' goooooo
Haha and there we have it. Misdirection "muh left and AI".
Thanks for proving my point.
Anyways, apples and oranges. The issue of AI is the non-consentual theft of data by big tech for personal enrichment while putting people put of work. The only one who benefits is again corporate and upper class by getting cheaper labor and needing fewer employees. Eventually the fabric of society will break as the working class ceased to be.
Rich and starving those will be the only divisions of classes.
So keep sucking off your strongmen whom has promised you milk and honey as they bleed you dry.
So much this
It's a series about buying two copies of the same braindead game so you can catch them all. It's an exploitative product that only promotes friendship between people so long as they're all collecting the pokemon. Why are you trying so hard to make Pokemon seem more wholesome than it is?
Trvke
take it too seriously
I take it extremely serious and I still play Pokemon. You people need to stop falling for psyops. Also it’s not a religion, it’s a relationship first and foremost. Churches are merely window dressing for the most part.
hate movement
Where was the hate, exactly?
The hate was against children for having autonomy.
They are literally right though. The idea of cyber monsters you can store in a PC is predictive programming about how the internet would be used to circumvent solomons pact and allow demons to communicate with humans while not technically interacting with them. The gym badges are literally seals that allow the child protagonist to control more powerful demons
Millennial nin-toddlers are still losing their minds over this years later because deep down they fear god and know the Christians were correct but don't want to admit they were corrupted from a young age or confront the hard work it would take spiritually to save their soul, this is why they spend their adulthood obsessed with childrens franchises, not only is it a way to double down on sin and reject god but also a desperate cope to recapture their innocence and lack of accountability for sin
murder is premeditated, though
If it's a psyop then gamefreak played right into it by making that child predator sex symbol in your pic.
Children don't even have a developed frontal lobe you lying POS. What's your real angle?
The fact that the supposed rightwingers (they're really leftwingers by sane standards) of today are the ones arguing for more sexuality in media when 20 years it was the leftist thing to put sexy stuff and gore and swearing in everything is qiite impressive
You're so far behind the 8-ball it's hilarious.
ARRGH, I've been seen through again! I'll have your souls someday, just you wait!
niggers and indians

Well, you're actually right. Republicans and conservacucks still don't have the balls to be racist against these. That's why we'll need to kill all of them too for being faggots.
can't wait till every boomer christcuck is dead and israel is gone
That's you cutting and running. Pretending it makes anyone but you look ridiculous isn't helping you.
Christianity has always been retarded, and these days it's gay, too. Pokemon is pretty gay, too, so I guess it was feeling threatened for market share.
Being ruled by trust fund dope-fiend Xers with daddy issues, can't wait.
It's so fucking weird that you can find a lot of schizos on Anon Babble that are on that level or even worse.
It's like you think you don't come off as gay.
What exactly is "solomons pact'?
Christians did more harm to videogames than “woke” ever did
Green blood at Walmart :(((((
But video games were still good when christians were complaining about shit and they suck now
The evangelical types are the reason why shitlib psychos even exist. They even have the same moral policing tactics and general hatred of harmless cool shit like hot women and fun. The only difference is evangelicals didn't do or promote things things that were on their face anti-nature, just retarded as fuck and hyper-puritan. Shitlibs do that and then try and deconstruct the natural norms of every society since time immemorial to get back at their retarded Bible-thumping parents.
issues of income equality and infrastructure neglect,
Yeah, well, the solution to that is to quit flooding the country with sub-85 IQ third world brown detritus.
I was using AI to generate anthro pokemon girls all day today. Just thought you should know that.
that's actually a good way to describe woketards

You do realize the "frontal lobe" just doesn't "develop" by itself right, it needs stimulation to do so. You need to water a plant for it to grow.
The earlier you give kids reasonable autonomy, the more independent, adaptable and just intelligent they are later in life. Elementary schoolers can reasonably be entrusted with some money to go get groceries if a grocer is in the same street they live in for instance. Because that's what humans have done for decades if not centuries earlier.
And then they are surprised while people act like juveniles into older and older ages which they then use as the argument to push age limits for i.e. voting, drinking, having sex, etc. higher and higher.
The whole "frontal lobe" argument is always a cope. "We don't allow the development of the frontal lobe because... because the frontal lobe isn't developed!"
Joining the army is premeditated. Only conscripts are innocent.
Careful, telling westoids that they've been artificially retarded is a trigger for them.
Who's got a dick shaped like mew????
they may be fucking idiots but that isn't hate you idiot.
My elementary school banned us from not only playing Pokemon, as in the GameBoy or trading card games, but we were not also not allowed to pretend we were Pokemon or imagine there were Pokemon around us. I just remember being on the playground in the desert hellscape of California, where fire ants coated the slide and wildfire ash rained from the sky like God's dandruff, and this absolute bitch playground monitor with CSI sunglasses and a walkie talkie came over to give my friend a pink slip for saying "Maril" twice like he was a Maril. The reason was because Pokemon "promotes violence."
You want to advocate for treating kids like functioning adults so badly that your idea of healthy mental stimulation is to expose them to exploitative fad media without any reservation, lest the parents be accused of some sort of regression. Look at your generation of overstimulated atheist retards and tell me where's the example of healthy autonomy. All in all, you're a sketchy faggot and don't really seem to know what you're talking about.
EVERYTHING'S UNGODLY!
DARK-SIDED!
It was the designs Christians were mainly concerned about, and mostly the Psychic ones. Alakazam looks like a pentagram for example. The Psychic type was pretty eerie in Gen 1.
One of my sister's friends was a JW. She was cool and nice to my family, which was Mormon. Nobody was afraid of pokemon, this is all just nonsense used by the left to fearmonger about Christians.
I miss this innocent era of the internet when schizo freaks like this were a rare oddity that brought everyone together to mock them. Now we just interact with people like this on a daily basis and there's 100 new videos of similar public freakouts being uploaded to social media each day.
I don't know, I'd still consider trying to normalize the molesting of children to be worse than whatever the evangelical types did.
From my experience, they just don't like the use of magic and spiritism. Like I can play a Final Fantasy randomizer romhack that removes your ability to use magic, and it would be okay. Fighting demons in the name of God is a worthwhile endeavor, as long as you're not using demonic power in the process.
they werent rare, they were just hidden cause they didn't have phones to be recorded
Pokemon are yokai. It's literally a pagan game
Final Fantasy leans gnostic and supports the case against Japanese media in Christian countries if anything.
You're underselling it. Even molesting them would be less harmful than castrating them.
I thought you were being serious until the last part, every JW I have ever met have been miserable people and a few ended up an heroing.
I was being serious. I don't know that girl's whereabouts now but she seemed fine enough to me.
Well, SMT does make it about demons, so the idea is there. Too bad its all for the most shallow christian propaganda
Be Christian.
Whole religion is based on denying pagan ways of spirits, ghosts and magic and trusting that there is one god whose wonders are much more abstract and subtle than just summoning supernatural being x that shoves its dicks into your enemies anus or turns shit into gold if you pay enough.
Americans immediately turn it into paganism 2.0 with actual demons, magic and evil spirits as soon as they exist.
Do burgers just have the collective capability of a three year old? Why do you retards take everything literal? Why is everything you touch becoming a shallow idiot copy of its former concept? Why is it so hard fot mutts to grasp a single abstract thought?
On the other hand dont answer, just stay that way. If I ever feel the need to turn my life into a non stop larp I want to be sure that there is a place where magic exists and ghosts haunt the dilators of dead trannies because the collective schizophrenic consciousness forces those things into existence you absolutely based manic retards.
This is why these religious schizos were forced out of Europe.
Nah christfaggots just take umbrage with anything that competes for attention with the bible or that seems "wrong" to them personally. They then use christfaggotry as a cudgel to give authority to their personal opinions.
Remember because god isn't directly around to gainsay what you think god would want you can just say that things and get your way!
After all opposing god means you're evil!
What the hell are you talking about?
This is a constant of all priests regardless of creed and time, though. They weren't contracting demons in kamakura Japan but the fact remained that "the only thing all Buddhist sects can agree on is the fun to be had at kagema-jaya"
God gave man power over demons. This is actually part of the christian doctrine and why the faithful can exorcise them. I hate all these fake ass christians who don't even know shit about the religion they claim to be a part of.
when Solomon controls demons, it's okay
sasuga, Puritans
Christianity was always that. "abstract God that doesn't do much" is a cope interpretation by modern people who are only Christian for the social benefits just like the people who say "Hell is just a natural state of separation from God and the gates are locked from the inside" because they're uncomfortable with the Biblical description
I don't disagree with that at all. The fact that they want to destroy children with this trans nonsense (whether it be castrating them to make them a queer or just surrounding them with tranny/fag pedos) is proof enough they are worse than their boomer parents, who just went overboard with the puritan nonsense and generally not allowing kids to have normal fun hobbies that they probably would've grown out of anyways.
I'm just saying the woke types wouldn't have such a strangelhold on denigrating society if they had proper parenting rather than the typical boomer evangelical parenting instilling negative values and generally being so puritan that they rebel against not only their parents, but common sense and decency. Bad parenting can fuck you up badly.
Devil's advocate, fundamentalism is utterly opposed to gnosticism and we know there was enough crossover between it and early orthodoxy for it to have not been fringe.
an hero
don't they literally God's kingdom to be on Earth? hell, they can't even do transplants.
why would they do that?
My dad believed this shit. He also confiscated my Harry Potter books and I didn't get them back until I moved out. Another time I briefly got into mtg and he took my cards and forbade me from playing it (though in hindsight im glad I never wasted my money on that shit).
No. While in the past everyone "agreed" that god existed, there was always disagreement with how much god actually gets involved in life. From "he basically authors every single event" down to "we are basically still in day 7 and the last time god got directly involved was with Jesus, the next time he'll get directly involved is with the Apocalypse. Other than that we are on our own."
There may have been atheists, but they'd never go public with those thoughts for fear of punishment or just social ostracization, so it is a complete unknown in what capacity atheism might have existed.
There also was some New Mexico protestant church tht tried to Satanic Panic Lord of the Rings because the priest felt "overwhelming satanism" from the intro sequence of Fellowship of the Ring.
They also refuted Lord of the Rongs being a Christian work because Tolkien was a Catholic, not a real Christian.
Boomers are not "puritans" and you retards really need to quit throwing that buzzword around. The boomers were hippies ffs.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not sure what your point of disagreement is. The Bible explicitly has magic, demons, and evil spirits and God directly interfering in conflicts.
The worst legacy of evangelical types is how they caused the Satanism Inflation where none of it is taken seriously. If they insit on screeching about throwing dice to cast Fireball on goblin in D&D being soul condemning satanism, then everything the say about Satan will inevitably seem equally silly.
though in hindsight im glad I never wasted my money on that shit
What's the problem, then? Did you forget to thank your dad for doing something right?
Right thing for the wrong reasons. Still love him though.
your god invented mutilating children.
that was the entire point of it. satanic panic was right that satanism was taking over the world but it was controlled opposition from top to bottom.
The boomers were hippies ffs.
In the 60s, retard. It's been a long time since the fucking 60s. They became uptight yuppies in the 80s and rejected their degenerate libertine ways and became uptight puritans ever since.
Why do you think it's mostly baby boomers that herald the "video games rot your brain/are violent/are sexist,etc" crap all the time until their millennial (and in some cases, zoomer) children did the same shit?
no, you're thinking of the jewish god (satan)
Yuppies are not puritans either. That's an even more retarded statement than the one I replied to.
Abrahamic religions are just about being "moral" busybodies who are in a constant state of outrage
God I hate Anon Babble past midnight, just horrible takes by thirdies obsessed with America. Yes retard Americans inserted demons into the Bible, the Bible didn't reference demons at all until America was born.
en.wiktionary.org
Noun
puritan (plural puritans)
(usually derogatory) A puritanical person.
puritan (comparative more puritan, superlative most puritan)
(usually derogatory) Acting or behaving according to the Puritan morals (e.g. propagating modesty), especially with regard to pleasure, nudity and sex; ascetic.
Are you actually fucking autistic? It's very clear that I meant puritan as an adjective not an actual Puritan (hence why it isn't capitalized retard). There's no way you could confuse the two unless you are a pedantic faggot, retarded or actually autistic.
yeah Pokémon sucks and takes no skill to play. They should grow up and get better taste in games for sure. It's when weirdos get to hating good games, good RPGs that you start to really worry about it.
Still love him though.
Glad to hear that.
Right thing for the wrong reasons.
No such thing imo.
yeah Pokémon sucks and takes no skill to play.
cool bait bro
Are you actually fucking autistic?
Let's see. Was I the one who just copy pasted a wiki link for no reason?
I love how confident you are despite being so obviously ignorant of the subject.
I'm not the one that can't understand the concept of adjectives or generalized nouns like a neurotypical person does by default, aspie.
Also, since you're actually this dense, go look up yuppie in the dictionary and you'll find it describes people who are collegiate suburbanites who embrace modernity, unlike puritans. Obviously.
pokemon taught me how sexy underage girls are
for no reason
He did it because you were intentionally misunderstanding him
most of the "moral outrage" was entirely manufactured
the reason you heard about pokemon and not SMT was because pokemon had a marketing budget to pay this people to talk about it
You're just trolling at this point. Goodbye.
Friendly reminder.
Don't be a fundamentalist.
I didn't call him out for generalizing a proper noun. He said yuppies were puritanical, and that's retarded. I think putting words in my mouth is distracting you both from realizing how retarded you're being about this. You should come off it already.
Ironically, SMT's Law paths are usually what these people want: for everyone to be reduced to mindless prayer-bots, doing nothing except praising God forever.
Also notalwaysright.com
They just see
Monster appears before kid and fights for them and promotes violence
and associate it with demons. Doesn't matter the actual specifics or nuance. Basically, the people that typically turn to religion are low iq bumpkins that like the feeling of giving up the control of their lives to someone greater and thus absolving themselves of the need to think.
Friendly reminder.
Catholicism isn't Christian.
The sort of stuff "spiritual leaders" of any religion say is indistinguishable from the psychobabble of a drug-addled maniac pissing his jeans while holding a placard on the streets reading the end is nigh.
If their religion wasn't a thing these people would either be serving you at McDonalds or living in a tent under a bridge.
Good reason
You can't play mtg because it's too expensive and the company rips off its fans
Bad reason
You can't play mtg because yahweh won't like it
How so?
The way I see it, that's how you know your series is popular, when you rile up parents and churches. Fads come and go but if your series/franchise can upset groups like these, its like being immortalized because all they do is advertise your product on a day to day bases especially when it gets on the news. And I always love how companies didn't give a single fuck back then and never bent a knee unlike modern companies who will destroy their product and company just because some lone roasty left a bad comment.
The store I work at does occasionally get kids as young as 12 coming in to buy some stuff on their own. I like them, they are polite, don't just run to the toy section, put things back where they find them and then buy 3-5 things and leave. Contrast to the kids that come with their parents, who scream and cry the entire time they are there. Parents not paying attention to them, to the point that they are shitting on the floor.
Christian means whatever I believe in, not what you believe in.
Salvation through one's own works
Matriarchal worship in line with satanic practice
Literal alchemic flesh eating rituals
Aristocratic hierarchy that at one point made owning a personal bible illegal
Just to name a few.
No it’s not demons it’s animal abuse. It’s cock fighting. No need to think too hard about it
Your god invented it thoughbeit.
n-nuh uh, the jews did
so what youre saying is that the old testament which is included in the bible is in fact, a bunch of lies right?
I mean, if you think about it, if you were to run across a pokemon in real life tomorrow and it lets you become its master, there's no real way for you to know if that thing is actually a demon in disguise unless it reveals itself to you.
Are "satanic" and "demonic" the latest buzzwords retards have latched onto to describe everything they don't like?
Back then, Pokemon was way more relevant than SMT since SMT was still very niche in the west during that time where not many people has heard of SMT in the west.
Dude, people want the old testament God. They don't want Jesus or a kind and loving God, they want a God who will rain down fire and brimstone on everyone they hate.
Evil is finally winning.
Parting with all of those, what is the minimum requirement a person needs to be considered a Christian?
you could the same thing about a dog or a cat
I find it funny that they can't even read just a scant few bits of scripture to see what the Bible says about Hell.
Old hell was in the same place as "paradise" for those that died, it was in the ground, but separated by a chasm. The righteous were able to see those suffering, so that they could appreciate having been "right", but this bothered them, so they asked God to not do this. Old hell and old "paradise" no longer exist because of this
Now you just sit and wait until the judgement, where you will see if you get let into the Kingdom of Heaven, or sent to the Lake of Fire. Lake of Fire is likened to Ghenna, a place where they chucked corpses into a ravine and left them to burn. God says that at the end, he will destroy the Lake of Fire and everyone in it once Satan has been thrown in.
Yet for some reason they keep trying to say that Hell is eternal torment, when it isn't. You'll burn, die and your soul will be destroyed, because the promise is a world without sin and how can you have a world without sin if sinners are eternally burning in the lake?
He could have just said
You can't play mtg because I don't like it
and you would have no rebuttal without sounding like a brat. Bottom line is "Yahweh" had a read on the better outcome that time, and you're conflating your own rejection of God with bad reasoning by others who believe in HIm.
what is the minimum requirement a person needs to be considered a Christian?
Reading the part of the bible that says "DA GHEIS R BAD".
Sure, but we know dogs and cats are normal creatures so there's way way way less risk.
Salvation through one's own works
Kinda weird that Christ spent so much time talking about behavior when it doesn't matter.
the media playbook of deliberately misleading and inciting moral outrage is still the most dominant "news" coverage
Will we ever learn?
your god invented child mutilation
hurrr its all da jews
okay so you admit that OT is lies
n-no! we want that god! He needs to be a dick
so your god invented child mutilation.
okay but yahweh also told him to cut of his newborn son's foreskin for no reason, so he doesn't always give the best advice
Nope, because we live vicariously through drama and tragedy, as our own lives are so uninteresting and limited that we don't get the opportunity to spice things up very often.
But it's not like to can accommodate billions of retards all doing everything they could ever want, all at the same time. There's too fucking many of us that the only ones winning are those who still reside in hunter-gatherer tribes that haven't yet been enslaved and ran out by corporations looking for more slaves for the mines and/or fields.
DON'T BE STUPID BE A SMARTY COME AND JOIN THE NAZI PARTY
Belief in Christ, that he is God, died instead of us as payment for our sins, and was resurrected afterward.
it would never have happened if it weren't for the civil rights movement and subsequent mass immigration mucking things up. having vastly different peoples being forced to associate with one another just destroys any social trust like that. this isn't even just a huwhite thing, it's true among all races.
Unfortunately many people think God is a voice in their head that tells them what to do, and it doesn't work that way. I don't know your father so I won't argue with you on that. All I'll say is my foreskin's gone too but I still value my relationship with God.
Would a person who believes all of that cease to be a Christian when engaging with, say, New Age healing practices (so not quite satanism)? Or would it be impossible for a "true" Christian to engage with those things that offend God?
That's good. I'm not an atheist either, if that's the impression I gave.
considering you are the first and only person I've seen describe churches in such a manner, and in fact always get a different interpretation on the topic, im inclined to think none of you know what you're talking about
american evangelicals are retarded schizos who should be disregarded. fucking faggots have already done enough damage with their israel worship, btw if any non-burgers want to know why america bends over backwards for israel it's because a schizo sect infiltrated the government in the 80s and part of their beliefs is to try to bring about judgment day by fulfilling a biblical prophecy about israel
Christian Hegemony calls everything outside of their influence demonic. Don't think too much over the things they say, because they certainly haven't.
would it be impossible for a "true" Christian to engage with those things that offend God?
Nothing is impossible, but if you have the Holy Spirit in you and you know that what you're doing will offend God, you will be compelled not to do it.
Much of what's outside Christian influence calls itself demonic. That's a big part of yokai folklore, in fact.
Would engaging sinful behavior knowing full well it will offend God not make you a Christian anymore even if you believe in Christ?
Pokemon is satanic
Harry Potter is satanic
DnD is satanic
Doom is satanic
Honestly, what was their problem and what kind of person would fall for this shit?
Anything that got between you and your relationship with God was, in the eyes of Evangelicals, Satanic to some extent. They just make up details along the way to support their argument.
People want a world where they are free to be assholes without consequences.
We are finally getting that world.
Who would fall for a cherrypick/strawman of Christianity? You, apparently. The number of people who actually refused to participate in those things for religious reasons is vanishingly small compared to the overall Christian population.
Is work satanic? What about Sunday football? What about the 2 week vacation abroad you planned with the wife?
The bottom line is, once you reject the Holy Spirit, you're finished. I'm not going to entertain scenarios with you because it doesn't work that way. God judges your heart. He's not as litigious about the circumstances as some people think He is.
They want to be in control of everything forever. That's what it's all about. Control. Controooool. Must control everything. Must control. Controooooooooolllllll.
