The devil you say! There goes that christian tendency to try and hog up all the best stuff for christianity!
Clarity, christianity is not the only religion that claims there's a devil. Islam, baha'i, and many others warn of the dangers of this impish fellow. Even buddhism has a devil figure, and buddha has been around way longer than christ! And let's not forget that christianity stole the whole idea of the devil from the Greeks vision of Pan, whom christians transformed from a horny shepherd into god's fallen angel. They sort of shmooshed him together with Hades, and voila! The devil you know and love in modern times.
C'mon, if we pagans must have Jesus around, at least let us have my favorite halloween costume!
