An interesting thought I had after reading Genesis 3.
Satan was not a snake; though some picture-Bibles may illustrate so.

Genesis 3:14 reads "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."
Notice how He says in the curse that Satan will go on his belly through the dust? Satan had to have been a dragon, since he couldn't have already been crawling through the dust..
Looking in my dictionary, it defines "serpent" as "a creature that movies in a winding motion, has scales, etc.." Maybe it would have been better to replace serpent with dragon.

Maybe some time in the near future, Americans will finally realize the situation and hit
Comcast and AT&T with a big rubber mallet (or maybe a water balloon). xD

So, this is homecoming week....

Tony arrived yesterday, and Geoff and Christina are flying in today!
Yesterday, I played with Tony (some dude with big hair) and he told me a
lot about his trip; in general, it was really fun.

Dad showed me an interesting article on W-ALLE that shows amidst it's great animation,
lighting, and all the other cg stuff, there are some bad messages related to anti-capitalism
and knowledge. I can't find the analysis right now but it will be here later when I find it.

God bless!

Republicans and democrats are really all the same. I have been on an expedition to farther my vocabulary via the dictionary, and I found it quite interesting what "Republican" and "Democrat" came up as...

Democrat: A person who believes in and upholds government by the people (think of democracy, government in which the people hold the ruling power directly or through representatives).

Republican: Having the nature or characteristic of a republic in government. Looking back at the word republic, the definition says a state or nation in which the supreme power rests in all citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives elected.

After looking at both words, you see both are quite similar really.

There is an interesting essay I have been reading for a little while now, entitled "Our Status in America" by Randy Booth (I think that is the author). It is both good to learn about and also horrifying to learn how Lincoln single-handedly replaced the Constitution with the Roman law of old. Between our law and Justinian's codes, in many places, you find identical sections of law, like novation! Novation (from the Latin word, novatio) is the act of cancelling a debt by means of a new one. In this case, it happens when a baby is born, and a birth certificate is recorded by the county recorder, certified by the place-of-birth state, and sent to the Department of Commerce. This starts the process of turning the child's work, life, and property into just an asset of the U.S. government. The cancelling of the baby's birth certificate debt via a new one happens when they apply for benefits, whether it be a driver's license, social security, or even the post office. So then, a person created in the image of God is converted into a fiction and living collateral of the debt of the American government.

Thank you for reading,
