DOES SATAN EXIST?

Tonight's episode of ABC's NIGHTLINE asks that question. Undoubtedly the show includes a panel of blowhards who believe both that yes he does and no he does not. And the yes he does folks will most likely quote the Bible for their conviction that Satan is in fact a real being.
I asked the very same question last night during my livevideo program. I was surprised that none other than the very mellow Mr.Huxley took offense that I would even dare raise this topic. He took umbrage with my "ridiculing" people's beliefs.
He missed the point I was trying to get at, so here it is: If you believe in Satan, you more than likely believe in Jesus Christ, God, the Bible and the entire cast of characters contained within. And you are more than likely a good obedient "god-fearing" individual. There's my objection right there.

ETERNITY as in FOREVER as in NEVER ENDING as in LONG LONG TIME. That's what people take for granted when they buy into the whole biblical religious philosophy. Sperm meets egg, fertilizes it and BIGBANG! an eternal soul has now come to exist from the ether of nonexistence. Enter Satan, ready to snatch up said soul for an ETERNITY of painful suffering of burning if said soul doesn't mind his p's and q's. Of course on the flip side is God's favorite son JESUS CHRIST ready to swoop down and protect your precious soul when all ya gotta do is accept JC into your heart and all your unholy sins and rude behavior shall be absolved. WELCOME TO HEAVEN! HALLELUYAH!
And this is all FAITH based. For no human has yet to have returned from the hereafter with an eye-witness report of how his/her soul was dispatched upon the shedding of his/her mortal coil. Faith is defined as "belief in things yet seen". Also the ingredient which hucksters rely upon to relieve the faithful of their money, goods virginity etc.

There's my objection right there folks. By surrendering yourself over to NONSENSE you are opening yourself up to unscrupulous individuals who shall waltz right into your life and take advantage of you for their own selfish ends. They trhive on this. They are your enemies but you don't care. You want that. It's the EASY way out. Your mind is overwhelmed by what you see daily in the headlines which stands in direct OPPOSITION to what your faith tries to reassure you with.

1. BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE
2. GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD PEOPLE
3. LIFE IS NOT FAIR
4.DISEASES AFFLICT CHILDREN

and then you hear Paul McCartney singing "Let It Be". WRONG! There are no words of wisdom spoken in LET IT BE! An intelligent human seeks to know the cause for things. He/She is not content with the phrase, "it's God's Will."
And I will continue to question EVERYTHING that does NOT make SENSE to me. I want answers people and I want answers that make sense.

So you just go on clutching your bible to your bosom and giving me that condescending look of enlightened righteous superiority. But deep down you know I'm right. And right is a lonely place sometimes.
Bottom line: If Satan does exist, let him step up to me and tell me what he's gonna do. I'll kick his ass and if I can't I yell for Jesus to come get my back.

A NEW CUTESIE PHRASE!

Aight, I created a new phrase. I want you all to incorporate it into your daily speaking. Spread it around. Put it on your greeting cards. I can actually say I came up with this on my very own. It's a genuine GREGLIONS creation to be passed on from generation to generation ad nauseum.

I LUZ U created by GREGORY LIONS

It's LOVE without the heaviness.

You can luz someone a lot more safely than loving them, got it?



The possibilities are endless! Feel the LUZ, spread the LUZ, give LUZ and you'll get LUZ back! AHHH.



ALL YOU NEED IS LUZ LUZ. LUZ is all you need.



Met a new girl who refuses to go to bed with you until you say the magic three words?

Just tell her "I luz u" and you'll be in like Flynn.

Then when you leave her for her sister, cousin, mother, etc. and she screams,



"BUT YOU SAID YOU LOVE ME!"



You can counter with, "No, I said I luz u!"



and remember to thank me, GREGLIONS for giving you this wonderful new phrase, thus guaranteeing my place in history ;-)

LANGUISHING IN BLOGGER OBSCURITY

To those of you who do not read or comment on my blog here,
you totally suck.
I write quality content. From the brow of my super-brain. And for the most part, it goes unread.
I believe there are two reasons for this: 1. I don't have tits. 2. I am not talking about losing weight, being mistreated by a guy, or my cat/dog/fish/gerbil.
I will test this hypothesis by starting a sock account with a picture of some female aspiring model and write the very same stuff that I write here only under her name. I am predicting that that blog will become quite popular and get many more views. It's all about perception.
Why should I actually care what a bunch of no-life shutins think about my ramblings anyway? I don't know. It's some need to feel my existence validated I suppose.
As if my thoughts were a catalyst that set your own lives in motion towards some greater good.
And what about the use of the word toward/towards? Help me out with that if you can. I have no clue as to what the rule is. I suppose Strunk guide to style can tell me. I hope you don't feel Im being untoward to you for calling you "no-life shutins" but we both know that's true right?
Life is what you make it. And yours is not much.
My belief is that there are two types of people in this world, performers and audience. Most people are just audience. That looks so arrogant in print doesn' t it?
OK, ask yourself this: When I go to a party to people gather around me or do I join a group of people gathered around someone else?
Or picture yourself as some old coot sitting in your rocking chair looking back over your life. Do you have any interesting stories bobbing around like flotsam in the ocean of your mind?
I thought so.

BEST SHOW ALL UP IN DIS HERE, YAY-UH!

No I don't really talk like the above. I grew up in Jersey City NJ among an urban black population. I was the minority with my olive Italian skin. But we got along, I had a sense of humor. The blacks and I joked together. They accepted me as
one of their own. Even including me in their voodoo rituals.
I offer this as an explanation for my penchant for listening to rap; and for my occasional lapse into hardcore gangsta ebonic street talk.
Recently I offended a chap who came to see my show. The theme that night was "WE BE CRUNKIN'" He proudly held up his can of Crunk Juice. I launched into my usual welcoming patter but with a black accent. The fellow became
offended; he felt I was ridiculing him. He was new to my show. However he didn't know me. He didn't know that I was just playin'. He mistook me for a racist.

I am no racist by any means. We are all just folks. Everyone is a human. You earn or lose my repsect by your deeds. I expect the same is true of me and my impact on you. So lighten up and learn to laugh at yo'self. Life is fleeting. Laughter
makes it bearable.

THEY FEAR THE LIONS




This really takes the cake. Why am I not surprised though? I got this anonymous email telling me that the people who voted for the lame number 1 winner were so nervous about GREGLIONS' performance that they went and bombarded my entry with thumbs down votes. Is that right? Decent? NO! That just bites it. It sucks.
Are you, my loyal fans, friends and occasional bed companions going to let this happen? Sit by and do nothing? OMG! OH THE HUMANITY!
"What can I do Greg? I'm just a shutin behind my computer screen. How can I come to your rescue?"
Alls ya gotta do is go there, sign up (FREE) then click on the GREEN vote for GREGLIONS icon below my audition. Simple. Don't let the lame performers win just because they have lameoid followers with nothing better to do. Come on folks, let's go kick some ass! Ahhh Yeahhh!
Please watch my audition and VOTE for me so I can be a big Hollywood TV Star.

USA, WE THE PEOPLE, WHO GETS SERVED?

“ULTIMATE LOYALTY TO SERVE COUNTRY” General Yueh Fei ‘s mother SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY, CHINA

I read that today. It made me think of the term patriotism. From the Latin, Patria, country.Serve your country. But what is your country? What is loyalty? At any given point in time, a country is governed by an elected administration. They are transient. The people’s will is like fashion. It changes. It’s whimsical. So again what is country? Is it the literal geographic coordinates we occupy? If so how does one determine how one may best serve one’s country?

I dismiss the idea of service to a given administration. I didn’t vote for GWBush. Look at the shape this USA is in today. It’s monumentally depressed. It is engaged, against the will of the majority of the people, in a synthesized war predicated on the flimsiest excuse of “to prevent terrorism over there from coming over here”. This manufactured war is costing blood of men and women who mistakenly think they are serving their country. In reality they are serving the greed of war profiteers, Bush and his cronies, who could care less about the deaths of these people.

Which brings me to my current outrage that American citizens could honestly think that electing John McCain as our next President will fix the ills that our nation is currently beset with. The definition of insanity is: performing the same actions repeatedly and expecting a different outcome.

John McCain has voted 90% of the time exactly in step with Bush. So he shall be more of the same. That is NOT what we need to fix this country.

And again, my point is you can not serve a country until you decide what your country is. Or what you imagine it to be. I am an American by birth. But far too often I feel like a stranger in this land.

My definition of what my country is this: A place that lets me pursue happiness and flourish. Where I can watch my children lead happy lives. Where there is unity and harmony among the people. Where my taxes are used for services like education, health care, food and shelter.

I pay taxes. I am of the mindset that you get what you pay for. I am most certainly NOT getting what I’m paying for, and neither are you my fellow citizen.

Barack Obama is not an experienced leader in the sense of having governed or mayored etc. But he is an intelligent man who gives one the impression that he genuinely wants to help ALL the people, not just the small minority of the very rich. That makes better sense to me.
