... the meandering journey it's taken...

that's why I never mind threadjacking coz there is usually a serendipitous surprize when one gets lost from the main highway

In this conflict, God "plays" by the rules. Satan does not. God enters by invitation. Satan by force.

I think, most of the time, Satan enters because of our lazyness. We prefer instant gratification over slow cooked rewards.

Perhaps "force" wasn't the best word. Didn't mean to imply that he comes at us with machine guns, bazookas, tanks, machetes, or battering rams. Or a nuclear device. Although they ARE tools that can be used, if appropriate. Sneaky works just fine, too, for most of us, most of the time. I just meant that he doesn't wait to be invited, and doesn't care whether or not he's welcome. Human laziness helps, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
