If the Devil didn't already exist, these guys would have to invent him in order to justify their own ridiculous careers.

| “the figures certainly do show one thing: In a global society dominated by the Internet, the devil and the occult garner a considerably greater interest right now than Lutheran or Calvinist theologies -- or Methodism, for that matter (245,000 hits).” | Maybe the Devil has a better Internet strategy.

My gosh, they're killing babies! And in the same town that Karl Marx was born! Coincidence? How can we stop this? Vote Republican? Cut upper income taxes? |
