I warn you, if you are a fundamentalist christian, or are in some way closed-minded about christianity or God, I recommend you don't read what I'm about to say, as you will be very offended.
I was having a discussion at work today with a friend of mine, who is one of those Christians who seems to not let his religion interfere with having fun and being open minded. The kind I can keep a civilized discussion with. During our conversation of religion, the subject of free will came up.
I asked him: "Why do you think most christians we know equate free will with the devil?"
He replied something to the extent of: "Because the devil tempted man to eat from the tree; God didn't want us to, but Satan did."
After this, I brought up the following point: How is it that a docile, closed-minded person who does what he is told without question can gain access to heaven, but the man who becomes proactive, seeks truth for himself, is doomed to eternal hell?
He was quiet for a moment. Then he, yes the Christian, said "What if God and Satan are actually reversed?"
Needless to say, we were pretty dumbfounded at the thought, and in Pit language; brix were shat.
What if God is the one who wanted man to eat the fruit, to take a step out from the blind obedience and find truth for himself? What if Satan is the one who actually created us, who wants us to remain ignorant?

Yes, i realise that's a pretty shallow view of Christianity; it still gives you something to think about though.
Retarded images for the day:
SO, onto the lyrics. Simple, name the song these lyrics are from, and the artist.
If anyone gets 3 or more of these, i will be EXTREMELY impressed. Heh. All lyrics are very easily discerned in the songs.
1)
I can feel the cold air flow into my lungs,
Brave another winter, and pray for the sun.
2)
Oh how i wish, for soothing rain,
all i wish is to dream again,
my loving heart, lost in the dark,
for hope i'd give my everything.
3)
All that has changed, 'cause it's all down the drain.
4)
But i can't spell it out for you,
no it's never gonna be that simple.
5)
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away,
we'll be lost before the dawn.
6)
Why does Saigon never sleep at night?
Why does this girl smell of orange trees?
7)
Yesterday i died,
tomorrow's bleeding,
fall into your sunlight.
8)
There's a lit cigarette,
in the hand of my new angel,
she's blowing smoke like halos.
9)
There's a train leaving town,
if you hurry up, i think you just might make it.
Damnit i hope you make it.
10)
Dark, no you can't come soon enough, for me.
11)
The chapel and the saint,
The soldiers in the wine,
The fables and the tales,
All handed down through time
12)
Help me out, said the eagle to the dove,
I've fallen from above my nest so high above.
Help me fly, i am too afraid to try.
13)
I listened in, yes i'm guilty of this, you should know this.
I broke down and wrote you back before you had a chance to.
14)
Finding myself, in a place i've never been,
where i don't know myself, or anyone else.
15)
Follow me down, to the valley below,
moonlight is bleeding, from out of your soul.
16)
What did you say?
I know i saw you singing,
but my ears won't stop ringing.
17)
On a different day, if i was safe in my own skin.
18)
So you're leavin', in the mornin',
on the early train.
Well i could say everything's alright,
and i could pretend to say goodbye.
19)
There's a harvest,
each Saturday night,
at the bars filled with, perfume and hitchin' a ride.
20)
When somethin' like a soul becomes initialized,
and folded up like paper dolls and little notes,
21)
I find the map and draw a straight line,
Over rivers, farms and state lines
22)
It's just like him,
to wander off in the evergreen park,
slowly searching
23)
Somewhere in a private place,
she packs her bags for outer space,
and now she's waiting for the right kinda pilot to come.
24)
And now my heaven's gone away,
and i'm out in the cold.
Cause you had me believing,
you had me believing in a lie.
25)
So many nights trying to hide it,
but now i stay awake just pleading for more.
Muahahaha, no google allowed!
Why are chefs cruel?
Because they whip cream and beat eggs!
