AEG: Some Theology

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Patera Nutria observed:

>>Reis as Christ figure, then: misunderstood;
>>bent on saving the beautiful earth; dying to
>>bring about the destruction of Satan, the
>>being who captured earth "before the Flood."
>>(California Satanists gladly join Squiddie's

Yes, indeed. Reis even speaks like Jesus at times!

On page 275, we read:

>>He gulped, and though Cassie could not hear
>>the gulp, she saw his throat move before he
>>said, "I was about to tell you I didn't know
>>what you wanted from marriage. But I do. You
>>told me. You want love. You'll get it - shaken
>>down, pressed down, and overflowing. I would
>>die for you, Cassie. I really would."

Reis' comment that he would die for Cassie is obviously prophetic and
Christ-like, but in this speech Reis is also actually quoting Jesus's words
in Luke 6.38, which the NIV translates thus:

>>"Give, and it will be give to you. A good
>>measure, pressed down, shaken together
>>and running over, will be poured into your
>>lap. For with the measure you use, it will
>>be measured to you."
