I'm still running through the theological discussion of a few days ago and it still annoys me.
Specifically, the moment when another resident of the group home, in an attempt to be supportive, referenced that tattoo of a devil that occupied a large percentage of his right arm.
That's a remnant of his old life that he now uses to fight his addiction.
No problem there, really, because it's working for him at this point.
I get annoyed by the anthropomorphism of a/the devil in general because he doesn't exist.
Humanity creates enough evil by itself, frankly.
We don't need all that much help with it, in case you haven't noticed.

Ah, you would have loved my discussion with some young zealots who came to my door trying to convince me to come to their church. Are you going to heaven? they asked. I said everyone does because there is no hell. No hell - they were aghast! They named all of the most evil people - and asked if I thought each one went to hell. My answer was always no. For some, hell was their existence here on earth. For others, hell was when they realized the wrongs that they had done and could never undo.
