But you have to admit, glib explanations notwithstanding, that our
beloved Beastie *is* a devil.

I mean, I sincerely doubt that the ancient Greeks envisioned daemons to
be red-skinned horned things with pointy tails, carrying pitchforks.

Whereas who can dispute that the modern devil image in western culture
*does* entail those features?

So I feel that there's a certain amount of sophistry in this
oft-repeated apologia - and it's beginning to annoy me just a little.

Now, if anyone has a *problem* with Beastie being a devil, that's a
completely different issue...
