I''ve been around since the beginning of time. I''m referred to as the Fallen Angel. Some writers have even called me a serpent who tempted Eve with an apple to rebel against God. But really, those so-called seven deadly sins are passe.<br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Passe? So what''s in?</span><br />Just take a look at George Bush. Or Bin Laden. Or much earlier, Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot. All of them so pompous, so full of themselves. All I did was question authority. I didn''t invent evil. I just got cast into the fire and ever since then, I have had to shoulder all the blame. Tell me, if men and women have been cast in God''s image and I''m paying for my crimes how do I manage to come down to earth and tempt you folks?<br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Because behind the simple concept you are all pervasive?</span><br />Oh brother. All that you guys are doing is letting down your hair and having a blast. So you are trying to be naughty, pretending you''ll be cruising in forbidden territory.

All I can say is that if you are pure of heart, not even I can bust you. So go ahead, sing and dance and make merry. Tomorrow is another day!</div> </div>
