Also, he never did forgive Tenacious D for beating him.While God is so busy helping boxers to win title fights that he has no time to save kids from dying of malaria, the devil is chiefly responsible for all the good music. He takes his work seriously and has even been found on duty as late as midnight giving one to one guitar and fiddle lessons at the crossroads.
Satan does God’s dirty work
Stick with nothing. At least it stops all the complicated stuff about god’s foreknowledge/man’s free will from turning your brain into porridge.For me, it comes down to a simple unanswerable question.
Why does bad things happen to good people ?
Is there a god or a satan, or nothing ?
You can't take me anywhere

Do you think Danny could possibly be The Devil.... I've heard Satan doesn't have shoes.....?Doesn't give bass guitar lessons apparently, I've stood at many a crossroad late at night with me four string bass...not a dickybat

Yea I guess..... He is a rogue but essentially a good eggThere's a painting in my parents' local church of Jesus barefoot and I've heard St Peter preached the apistles to the apostles barefoot too!
Danny the devil? Surely not
It was strange seeing Danny (Ralph Brown) in the Phantom Menace...and he wasn't on the dark side either!Yea I guess..... He is a rogue but essentially a good egg
Sheesh..... Apologies....only took nearly two frakking years to respond.... The older montalbano wins out but I love both series....Which Montalbano- young or older?

Makes me wonder what people who write that sort of thing do read. I was going to guess at children's books but those that aren't sweary in a mild way are probably about magic or talking animals etc. and therefore "the work of the Devil".I have become so tired of reviews of my books which begin 'As a Christian...' and then go on to complain about bad language (or, as they call it, 'cussing') and sex - I should, before you all get over excited, point out that I don't write graphic sex scenes, sex is simply alluded to in my books) that I am threatening to start any future reviews that I write with 'As a Satanist...'* just to see what people say.
After all, if Christians are allowed to get on their high horses and use their religion to complain about stuff (which, let's face it, is found in most books), then surely I can use Satanism to complain about other stuff.

The next step then is banning everything they consider "evil" - for everyone's good of course. Maybe those people are what the Devil does?
From my experience - any sex outside marriage (even if the couple do go on to marry), swearing (even had one objecting to 'the swearing' during a childbirth scene) and blasphemy. Even though my books are written in the UK, by a British writer, and we live in a secular society. Apparently, we're all supposed to write as though we live in Bible Belt America, in case someone who should probably stick to reading 'sweet, clean Christian' romances, picks up one of my books.Makes me wonder what people who write that sort of thing do read.

He should have gone for playing Soul Music!
... And bitter old men making pointless lists on the internet?If God Does Miracles, What Does Satan Do?
Simple: “Reality” TV, rap music, boy bands, nylon socks, old men who whistle in shops, £500 Novas with £1,500 bass systems, mushy peas, fat women who waddle side-by-side on pavements, clamshell packaging, fat men with flaky terracotta-coloured legs and yellow toenails who wear shorts in public, VAT, and every other splinter of shell in the egg mayonnaise sandwich of modern life.

You should see my list.People without a sense of humour, complaining on the internet....
Ah, but maybe 'God' limits his endeavour's?If God does miracles, what does Satan do?
Whatever he wants, I should imagine.
