Saaaataaannn?

Tonight I watched both the prime time TV version and the online version of the Nightline Faceoff debate on the question of Satan’s existence.  Mark Driscoll and Anne Lobert argued in the affirmative, while Deepak Chopra and Charles Pearson argued in the negative (well, “arguing” wouldn’t be quite accurate for either side…more like asserting.).

The prime time TV version, whether intentional or not, did not do the debate justice.  I will put up my thoughts in the next few days (brace yourselves; it’s gonna be a long post), but for now, I highly recommend you go on over to abcnews.com to watch the debate in its entirety.

In the TV version, all the panelists came off as totally different than they came off in the full version.  Perhaps we should point to TV editing as evidence of Satan’s existence.  A necessary evil, but still an evil, nonetheless.  I say that with my tongue  only partly poked in cheek.
