I agree. Stupid Christians avoiding any sort of debate on their religion by claiming that I am the devil.

note that the devil doesn't actually cause the problems. He persuades the people to do whatever. He suggests the idea to a person, but it is up to them to accept or reject the idea. For Example, he might suggest to a terrorist to detonate a bomb in such and such a place. It is up to the Terrorist to accept the idea, and if he does bomb such and such a place, it will be their fault, because they had the option not to. And the devil does not turn up with a pitchfork and talk you into everything.

The terrorists say that God tells them to bomb places. Just 'cause we're not terrorists, can we really declare that terrorists are usurped by the devil?

In the war in 1429 between France and England, Joan of Arc thought she heard God telling her that she was to lead France's army. England, of course, had God on their side too. She was captured by the English and burned at the stake as a devil-worshipper. After her death, she was symbolically retrialed and found innocent, and she was later canonised as a saint. So, was God hedging His bets? Or was it the influence of the Devil? Or was it that two Christian countries went to war?
