He appears as the devil whenever he needs to and then fills in any gaps with stories about how the Devil is the boogeyman out to get everybody.
Meh, here in reality, silly stories about angry gods and their phony curses are of no consequence. Sheep are stupid, and should be eaten ... not listened to.
Im actually embrassed for the human race that this is the best delusion we could dream up. The universe is vast, and our existence is relatively meaningless in the grand scope, and yet we invent a god that is small and petty, one that never makes any logical sense.
A god so petty that his only ambition is to have tiny ants (us) worship him day and night for the rest of eternity.
Very inspiring!
