The devil clearly exists.
And he's a turtle.

Only in the Midwest, folks.

If people can see Jesus in a grease stain, why not Satan in a turtle shell? *shrug*

Actually I think it looks like the Medieval representations of Baphomet, the goat-headed horned idol said to have been worshipped by the Knights Templar... Obvious proof that the Templars are alive and well and looking after the Declaration of Independence...

Last I heard, the Devil was somewhere in Georgia and was possibly in blue dress.

Perhaps you have it backwards, maybe the "evil" in the world is proof that God doesn't exist, or just doesn't care. Perhaps the good in the world is proof that Satan is a myth or just REALLY bad at doing his work.

Since the earliest of storytelling traditions cultures have personified forces beyond their controll into more tanginable forms. Many of those have died off (at least in western culture) but good and evil are still personified quite often.

Did you know you can summon up the powers of darkness in your own home?

All you need is baking soda, some household vinegar, and... GOATS BLOOD!!

We're cooking with evil gas now!!
