quote:
There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood another man, Satan.
Separating them, running through the group, was a fence.
The scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up his or her own mind - each went to either Jesus or Satan. This kept going. Soon enough, Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowd, as did Satan.
But one man joined neither group. He climbed the fence that was there and sat on it.
Then Jesus and his people left and disappeared. So too did Satan and his people.
And the man on the fence sat alone.
As this man sat, Satan came back, looking for something which he appeared to have lost.
The man said, "Have you lost something?" Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are. Come with me." "But", said the man, "I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor him."
"That's okay," said Satan. "I own the fence."

I can attest to the fact that leaving the church and attempting to sit on the fence doesn't make Satan all of a sudden say, "Okay, I'll give you a pass, I'll leave you alone."
Oh, he might appear to for a while, but after all's said and done, he knows that you're a person who *knows* what's going on in this world ("SDAs have inside information," as Ed Reid says), and therefore you're a threat to him. He either wants you completely under his thumb, or dead. Neither one's good, huh.
He tried to do one or the other to moi some years back, and it sure was a wake-up call that set me on the road back to where we all belong! Looking back I'm amazed it took as long as it did.
