Feel free to search the archives for the lengthy (and stupid) discussions
of this topic if you wish. The short answer is "You can take our Daemon
mascot from us when you pry it from our cold, dead fingers."
If you look at our cute little daemon and see "the devil", that is your
problem. We can help you overcome that problem, but only if you want to
overcome it. You should keep in mind that Lucifer doesn't look like the
demon of Greek mythology, he looks like a politician.
