Who knew the Devil was such a nice guy?

- Gives us the ability to judge right from wrong, and gets bad press.

- Tries to talk God out of being mean to Job.

- Doesn't require you love him or even believe he exists.

- Sees Jesus starving in the desert, and offers him food

- Plays a better violin piece, yet lets Johnny have the gold violin anyway
