“Any proposal that does not lead to outlawing sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman …”? Wow! That’s a lot.This “devil” fellow, he must be a very busy boy. Let me try to think of just a tiny few of the proposals he apparently inspired: laws against murder, theft and fraud; appropriations for highways and bridges, tax laws, nuclear non-proliferation pacts, strategic arms limitation, relief for victims of natural disasters … I’m sure I’m just scratching the surface here.

I never thought much about “the devil”, mainly on account of how he’s, you know, invisible, but now that you’ve opened my eyes to how many good things he’s inspired, I guess I’ll start paying more attention. Can I follow him on Twitter?
