True, not exactly the most logical theology.

See, this is why any good religion needs a trckster god.

Until then I'll send my prayers to where I know the answer:



"MEEP, MEEP!!"

Lucifer freely chose evil. God only created the option. He did not create the 'decision.'

Sympathy For the Devil.

I have no sympathy for him. Or his disciples. Are you one?
