THE DEVIL AND THE FACE OF EVIL

There's so much evil everywhere, but recognizing it is hard to do because the devil has many faces that separate him from the norm in shape and form, in the way his lips turn up or down to form a sneer or a frown. Like a circus clown, he hides behind a mask which makes one ask, "How can I tell the devil is my enemy?" It's difficult because hIs evil resides deep inside his hide, controlled by a corrupted soul.

Truth be known, evil has many faces the devil alone owns. Like the face of God, the devil's true face has never been seen. Artists paint him red with horns protruding from his head. But this is only a conception of a deception to delude Bible thumping preachers who claim to have met him face to face. Even the ministers have been misled.

The devil embraces different faces according to his need to succeed. He can rearrange his strange features to become unrecognizable even to those who read about him in the Bible. It's odd, but even God does not know the many faces of his faceless foe. But there's a surefire way to spot this hot shot. When asked, "Are you the devil?" he replied, "On the level, Dubya's my name. Incompetence is my claim to fame."

Hot damn! You've got your man! That devil can go to hell!
