"Legion," he (demon posssed man) replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they (demons) begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. The reason they 'begged' was they feared that they would be 'restrained' (tormented) like other demons that were currently confined to the abyss. (those particular ones were already abyss 'bound' for especially egresious acts during Noah's time awaiting their final judgement).

No it doesn't but it raises plenty of doubts about Snowball's mental stability. That is some bat shit weird stuff to espouse in this day and age.
If you can't get a nuanced perspective on your religious beliefs why subject yourself to a literal one? Surely you can be a believer without all this nonsense.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
