If you're going to hell, will there be a demoness suite and if so, how will it differ from the goddess suite?

You have stated repeatedly that the reason you come here is for "entertainment purposes". So, if you compare me, as a Moderator to "handling out paint cans to thugs", then I compare you to someone who, "for entertainment purposes" observes those very thugs spray paint the synagogues. You, sir, for "entertainment purposes", watch the rapists pillage the villages. You, Bob, for "entertainment purposes", observe the verbal mud-slinging of the religion you supposedly hold dear.

No, I see myself as one of the few outspoken voices willing to express my outrage in Argentina, or Brazil or Poland during World War II about outrages committed against the Jews. While "paint cans" were being handed out to thugs, some people spoke out. Very few real believers, real attenders of the Church are willing to venture into this forum to take the abuse that I take. I do it to speak out against those who seek to crucify the Lord anew.
You claim I am on the road to hell with you. For what? Speaking bluntly? Defending the Church? Defending the reputations of real people whom you attack?

Thinly skilled lawyer, you're off my radar. Not that you were ever on it...

Interesting. I started my internet career in debate in EV boards. It was a lot of fun. There were many knowledgeable people. I found it fun because it involved a lot of work with the scriptures which I love to use in analysis, but which few rely upon here.
But, when some of the EVs became disenchanted with me, and when I thought I was doing rather well in Scripture and ancient Church history, I started reading lots of comments like -- "you must be a lousy lawyer," "I'd hate to have you as a lawyer, based upon your logic here," and the like.
I get it here too, and from the likes of you. I don't think that me being a lawyer, or a doctor, or a school teacher, or a computer geek, should play any role in analyzing what I have to say.

Controlling the Influence of the Internet
Like television, the Internet can be a source of much valuable information. But individuals who search for filth, violence, and depravity can find it on the Internet without much effort.
Parents can take several actions to control the influence of the Internet on their family. One option is to install software that blocks access to inappropriate web sites. Another way to control Internet use is to set up access via a password only the parents know. One of the best precautions is to locate computers connected to the Internet in high-traffic areas and limit access to hours when other family members are awake and can monitor activity on the computer.
Parents need to know when, where, and how their children are using the Internet. Access at school is usually controlled; that may not be true at a library or a friend’s home.
Those parents who know how to get around on the Internet themselves are in a better position to guide their children in its proper use. Parents who don’t know how to use the Internet can usually find ready teachers. Their best and most eager teachers might be their own children.
Wise parents make online activity a family activity and set rules about computer use. Among the rules a family could adopt are these:
• Keep online conversations with strangers public; don’t go to a private chat room online with them. People are not always who they say they are.
• Do not reveal personal information to anyone online.
• Never agree to meet an online acquaintance in person or by telephone without parental permission.
• Immediately tell parents about uncomfortable online experiences, including requests for secrecy.
Of course, rules are effective only when firmly and fairly enforced. When following through on family rules, parents will find greater success by setting an unblemished example themselves, teaching their children correct principles, and letting them know they trust them to make wise choices.
