Ah, but if I wanted to fool someone, what would be more effective? Satan Rocks in the guacamole would be counterproductive. Subtle deception is the way to go, based on the idea that if you can get someone just a little off the mark, the next step becomes easier.

Anyway, you're already a pagan - the debbil doesn't need to waste his resources on you

There's one flaw in your reasoning Shattered Soul. You apparently suffer from the same malady as the rest. Religion.

Edit: monkeyed with the formatting so I could get both quotes
