The fact that we have a number of *very* devoutly religious developers who come from religions where there is a figure similar to that which people seem to be alluding to, at least in translated written descriptions and artistic renderings which may or may not have been based on said descriptions, should be a good point, unless someone can believe that said people are actually in service of the devil... If I'm in service of el diablo, I wish someone would tell me... I expect better opportunities for sinning and whatnot! All joking aside, goats are cute, beastie is cute, and I've known a lot of people who went to Berkeley who are, to say the least, cute. It's beyond ridiculous, it's pretentious nonsense! People need to realise that "satan" hasn't shown himself to the world at large even in anecdotal accounts for quite a while, unless you count political commercials... And neither has "god" - you'd think that one way or the other we'd have one of them telling us a thing or two in moderately modern times about, at the least, what the "devil" actually looks like. Frankly, I find it more plausible that you're all manifestations of (my) deranged imagination, than that "the devil" looks even remotely like Beastie. uNF uNF Beastie's cute. Grow up. Images are an illusion, in the written word doubly so. Isn't deciding it'd be fun to read -chat now and then in and of itself fun?
