:-) none! and the Christians' most evil god is called "Light-Bearer"! and
all religions (as you say) use light to symbolize their highest good.
But you miss my point. I am making the case here (in jest, of course) that
all Christians worship Satan, and Satan is evil, therefore Christians are
evil. They bring an evil philosophy on an unsuspecting world. *Therefore*
the ends justify the means. I need not be factually accurate in my
arguments or even scrupulously truthful. Appeals to emotions rather than
reason are perfectly acceptable. And the fact that Christians would get
hotly angry at my arguments is merely more evidence that what I say is
true! All Christians worship Satan! It's patently obvious!
