	You have been given the power to overcome satin if you wish to
	use it.

	Satin is the one that brings on sickness, misery, and etc..

Really?  I have friends who sleep on satin sheets.  They don't
seem all that sick or miserable.  Also, how do you overcome a
type of cloth?  :-)

			--Bob Brown

What's funny is not the misspelling itself--obviously it
was not a simple typo, since it appeared several times---but
the fact that this person who has been spouting forth about this
evangelist and making references to the Bible obviously hasn't
READ the Bible (carefully) or else he would know how to spell
Satan.

At least others who engage in discussions in this group (taking
the Christian viewpoint) know enough about the book they are
quoting from to quote from it correctly.  I think, though, that
it says something about the nature of evangelists and the caliber
of their audiences when it's obvious that it's not important to have
read the Bible in order to join this particular flock, but it IS
important to keep listening---having an open ear (preferably with the
suction power on high) and (as TCW has mentioned) an open wallet is
more of a requirement than knowledge and thought.  (The temptation is
strong to say "But isn't that true of all religions...".  Through the
power of prayer I will resist that temptation...)
