There's an interesting observation to be made regarding this whole 
business of god & devil.  Here it is:

God is supposed to be kind and gentle, etc.  So he/she/it wouldn't mind
if we didn't worship it/him/her, and would keep giving us unconditional 
love.  But it's the devil/satan that we need to worry about.  She/he/it 
might get mighty upset if we didn't worship him/her/it, being the evil 
entity it/she/he is.  Ergo: We all need to become devil/satan worshippers.

Waiting for someone to poke a hole into this airtight argument.
