"Nightline" debate to take on Satan in Ballard (Washington) church
"Nightline" debate to take on Satan in Ballard church

The debate over whether Satan exists is hardly going to be settled in a 30-minute television show.

But that's not stopping a rather curious lineup from debating that question for ABC's "Nightline."

The debaters: megachurch Pastor Mark Driscoll of Seattle; alternative-medicine author Deepak Chopra; a former Las Vegas escort who founded Hookers for Jesus; and a former Pentecostal preacher who was branded a heretic for saying everyone — not just Christians — could go to heaven.

The four are gathering Friday at Mars Hill Church in Ballard, where Driscoll is preaching pastor, to tape the segment, which will air March 26.

3. Reading the snippets of Pearson, I don't think he'll win a lot of converts. Those that believe in
Satan as an actual being also tend to accredit "him" with great powers of persuasion and deception. Anything or anyone that raises the self above the higher powers of good and evil, God and Satan is naturally the work of the devil. The notions of personal potential or responsibility are looked upon as trying to assign some sense of divinity to us mere mortals. Obviously the work of the devil for sure. :eyes:

We are mere cosmis game board pieces.:crazy:
