Who'd win? And yes I think there is a difference...

one of my best friends is a girl, dont EVER cross her or you WILL know about it. in this respect i've picked girls

i am just going by the titty reference as satan doesnt really have tits as far as i know.

you should have put thurston down as he is the royal tough titty.

So far, girls rule... I don't think thurston would wanna get into a 3 way fight with girls and satan...

i dont know. if he brought his guitar he could release the live version on a super hard to find cdr.

the results so far give out a clear message..
girls are prefered over satan..

voted for satan. errrr and yes, i'm a girl. but satan is far better:)

An ex of mine had a band called Satan's Cheerleaders before she formed Jucifer.

girls and satan: aren't the two words like synonyms

Girls. Girls are cool.

I was expecting this thread to be about a band called Girls vs Satan (I mistyped that as Girls vs Stan - another good band name), as I've been caught out by thread titles of weird band names before. Jucifer is quite a good name too, as it happens.

edit: there should also be a band whose sole aim is to destroy the Foo Fighters. They'd be called Foocifer - the anti-Foo.

you dated amber valentine?

I was her first boyfriend in Athens. Her father is an art professor at Berry College in Rome, GA. She moved to Athens at seventeen & we met at a Crash Worship show because she like the way I danced. We went back to my attic apartment that night which was infested with fleas. She liked my artwork. My other roommates, including Barry Sell, had already moved out because they knew what was coming. I had foolishly decided to try & ride it out. Amber rescued me from the fleas & I moved into her rented Nantahala St. house. She was playing songs on an acoustic back then by her favorite band, the Indigo Girls, which tickles me to this day. We broke up a few months later on July 4th during a rainstorm when I asked her If i should just leave & she said, "yes." She hadn't been communicative for a couple of weeks & I knew something was wrong. She stole my combat boots & some books & tapes, because when I went back for them she feigned not knowing where they were. She married Noah Ray shortly after that who had been the little skater kid in R.E.M.'s
It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) video. She readily admitted to me that she came to Athens to meet R.E.M. & start a music career & I guess Noah helped her open some doors by introducing her to Jared Bailey & Barrie Buck who owned & booked the 40 watt, for instance. Basically, she threw me over for Noah who she probably met when I was still living with her, but we still were seeing each other because when I left her house I ended up (eventually) at one of her friends' (this gay guy named Jodi's apartment). They divorced after a year or so & he opened up a coffee shop, Blue Sky Coffee (rich parents). Years later she came to the Taco Stand where I was working downtown & as you take the order you have to get the name of the person & I asked her name & she got all offended saying, "C'mon, David, you know who I am." Thing is, under all that make-up & the wig, I thought it was her, but then again there were so many Courtney Love clones around Athens at that time, I wasn't absolutely sure.

nice man!!

yeah, the courtney love look is not that fly.

what if satan is a girl, uh?
uh?

Been dazed and confused for so long its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. yeah!
You hurt and abused tellin all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I dont know where youve been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.
Every day I work so hard
Bringin home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Dont know where youre goin
Only know just where youve been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long, its not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

---an 'ol misogynist blues riff/rip by Led Zeppelin taking its cue, no doubt, from that venerated ancient Hebrew creation myth play that became more famously known as the Book of Genesis & the supposedly irrefutable Holy Word of God

---she had a B-52s/Courtney thing going on when I saw her last & looked horrible actually.

'Cos it says in the Bible that that's how it is.

God being everything, the real world and man are nothing. God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave.
If God is, man is a slave; now, man can and must be free; then, God does not exist.

I've got a kind hearted woman,
she studies evil all the time.
I've got a kind hearted woman,
she studies evil all the time.
You would do to quit me
just to have it on your mind.
I've got a kind hearted woman,
do anything in this world for me.
I've got a kind hearted woman,
do anything in this world for me.
But these evil hearted women,
Lord, and they will not let me be.
Now it ain't but one thing
makes Mr. Johnson drink.
I swear about how you treat me baby,
I begin to think.
Oh baby, my life don't feel the same.
It breaks my heart when you call
Mr. So-and-So's name.
She's a kind hearted woman,
she studies evil all the time.
She's a kind hearted woman,
she studies evil all the time.
You're best to quit me baby
as just to have it on your mind.

The Bible, which is a very interesting and here and there very profound book when considered as one of the oldest surviving manifestations of human wisdom and fancy, expresses this truth very naively in its myth of original sin. Jehovah, who of all the good gods adored by men was certainly the most jealous, the most vain, the most ferocious, the most unjust, the most bloodthirsty, the most despotic, and the most hostile to human dignity and liberty-Jehovah had just created Adam and Eve, to satisfy we know not what caprice; no doubt to while away his time, which must weigh heavy on his hands in his eternal egoistic solitude, or that he might have some new slaves. He generously placed at their disposal the whole earth, with all its fruits and animals, and set but a single limit to this complete enjoyment. He expressly forbade them from touching the fruit of the tree of knowledge. He wished, therefore, that man, destitute of all understanding of himself, should remain an eternal beast, ever on all-fours before the eternal God, his creator and his master. But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge.
