John Sharkey is a Satanist who is running for governor of Minnesota in 2006. He was on a news show which I couldn't identify from the mpeg and he said something quite interesting that I wanted to share with you. When asked why he was a satanist he qouted Matthew 27:46 " My God why have you forsaken me?" Sharkey stated the he could not follow a God who condems his own child to death. He than went on (much to the utter annoyance of the newsman whom I suspect was a Christian), on various things that God did to kill and punish people in the world according to the bible. This brings up two interesting questions though,
1) Is God having his son tortured and executed (assuming you believed this event happened) a reasonable reason to reject a God on, and
2) In the Bible we know God killed lots of people yet in the Bible who did Satan kill? You have one God slaughtering humanity by the thousands throughout the Bible and even promsing, according to Revelations to come back to do it again and another God or something supernatural who doesn't seem to kill anyone that I can recall. Isn't the God that kills humanity the "bad guy?" Putting the death toll of the two super entities side-by-side Satan comes out smelling like a rose death count wise doesn't he?
