      Even greater if just some random dude invented both God and Satan so y’all have two people to consider fucking ya over when it’s really just that random dude wearing a cross/crescent/Star and telling you about how the book he wrote is the word of God and if you don’t believe it then Satan will get ya!

      Religion: the world’s oldest false dilemma.

    “I think that one of the Devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.”

    Lifted from The Usual Suspects.

    The actual quote is by French poet Charles Baudelaire: “The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist”

    Bro really said the celestial beings are actually the bad guys…
