If I hear one more complaint out of you, I'll have you deported to some ouija board in Alaska where you can wait in a box 364 days out of the year just to startle an eskimo kid or some horny fisherman.

    Lol. Thats really funny Tel. Some fun without vitriol or blasphemy (except to the occasional satanist); not that you always resort to them... Did you read the Screwtape Letters of C.S. Lewis? This looks like it could be an excerpt...

    edit: I see the Screwtape Letters have already been aluded to in this thread...

    Aside from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, every word uttered about demons by folks who thinks of themselves as xtians reveals one of a small number of maladies: 1) fear that their omnipotent, omniscient G-d lacks the knowledge and power to protect them from evil, 2) an unhealthy obs ...[text shortened]... tanding of the structure of myth (which explains wht they grossly misunderstand ther own myths).
    ...every word uttered about demons by folks who thinks of themselves as xtians reveals...

    well, maybe there's another half-decent work of literature out there

    But, since demons don't exist apart from their tremendous use as metaphors, "every" isn't much of a stretch.

    Once my Mormon friend in High School, (and this was when I still went to the Catholic Church but anyways) He said him and his borther where playing with one and then put it in the fireplace and it burn green, but I would say you would have to burn a nother game just to see if it would do the same thing.
