It's a Friday isn't it. Well on Fridays I think of Satan as the personification of Temptation, something inside all of us. On Saturdays I think of him as real.

Sorry, that's rather glib. But not too far from the truth :-)

I probably have a lot more Fridays than Saturdays. But there are times when what I hear on the news makes me wary of rejecting the idea of a real evil force (something beyond mental illness). Thankfully I have never encountered such evil, and am quite sure that all my own sins are truly mine and stem from me.
