my love for the devil

see note for reviewers.

whether you believe in ha-satan,

the hebrew “adversary,” or satan/lucifer,

the christian “fallen angel” that rebelled against

“god,”or perhaps iblis, the muslim jinn who didn’t bow down

to the fictional character “adam” & who spends its time

trying to corrupt man & woman,

the end result is all the same---

you have something to fear at all times of the

day.

 

not only do you have something to fear,

but like a drunk who has slept with their best friend’s

main squeeze at some

party,

you can always blame it on the

booze & that’s just what you do with your

“devil.”

 

the “devil” provides a nice easy out for any believer of these

three ridiculous

fictional stories---

it provides a way in which the believer can always be redeemed

because to have faith in “god” is to submit one’s will to a final

judge,

who will decide at the convenient

end of days

just how bad your baddest was.

 

apparently the “god” that created all the great characters of the

three books,

created a “devil” in order to preside over the rest of the

chess pieces on the board---

all of “creation” made for the amusement of “god,”

whereby if you cross it,

you are damned to “hell” or the “devil” will get you.

 

all you know is that something bad is gonna happen,

because if something bad

didn’t happen,

well, i guess you wouldn’t have to believe in this

hogwash, now

would you?

 

my love for the “devil” runs deep, my friends---

i love all the different pictures of it

that have been passed down through the ages,

i love the horns & the wings & the talons, etc.---

all these things conjure up a great character that would make

a lesser animal frightened of their own shadow,

tremble with

fear.

 

i love that believers have so much time on their hands

to imagine a being that is responsible for all the

horrors of the world which they will not take

responsibility for

themselves.

 

i’m glad the “devil” is there for you,

when you have no one to blame for your

idiocy & your

outright malice to one another---

kudos,

kiddies.
