If you spend your time looking for evil, what do you expect to find.

I figure people can call me the greatest fool and most evil S.O.B. in the world if that fits their desire, and I accept that. If that is what they seek to create their divide of them good and me evil. Blessed Heaven for them and cursed living Hell for me. I accept that temporal judgement on me....Arron's staff swallowed up the mockery.

Does anyone know what goodness that is not founded on evil looks like. A place with no evil history to look back upon, washed away.

Here's a warning example what blind fundamentalism can cause. Here's a snippet of the link:

Anna Elisabeth "Anneliese" Michel (21 September 1952 – 1 July 1976) was a German woman who underwent 67 Catholic exorcism rites during the year before her death. She died of malnutrition, for which her parents and priest were convicted of negligent homicide. She was diagnosed with epileptic psychosis (temporal lobe epilepsy) and had a history of psychiatric treatment that proved ineffective.[1]

When Michel was 16, she experienced a seizure and was diagnosed with psychosis caused by temporal lobe epilepsy. Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with depression and was treated by a psychiatric hospital. By the time she was 20, she had become intolerant of various religious objects and began to hear voices. Her condition worsened despite medication, and she became suicidal, also displaying other symptoms, for which she took medication as well. After the taking of psychiatric medications for five years failed to improve her symptoms, Michel and her family became convinced she was possessed by a demon.[2][3] As a result, her family appealed to the Catholic Church for an exorcism. While rejected at first, two priests got permission from the local bishop in 1975.[3] The priests began conducting exorcism sessions and the parents stopped consulting doctors. Anneliese Michel stopped eating food and died of malnourishment and dehydration after 67 exorcism sessions.[4] Michel's parents and the two Roman Catholic priests were found guilty of negligent homicide and were sentenced to six months in jail (reduced to three years of probation), as well as a fine. In a conference several years later, German bishops retracted the claim that she was possessed.[5]

Several films are based on her story, including the 2005 film The Exorcism of Emily Rose, the award-winning 2006 film Requiem and the 2011 film Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes.

The Satan/serpent perpetrated his evil beguiling lie in the name of God. And at the same time in complete opposition to God's word.

It is good to know what is of God and what is not. The Urim and Thummim.

You, however, mentioned "murder".

I found your condemnation ironic and a clear example of psychological projection given that Jesus was speaking to your ancestors (both spiritually and physically) in John 8:39-59.

The crusades and the inquisition were not of God.

They were based on religion...based on an interpretation of the bible.

Who gave you the authority to declare what is and what is not of God?
