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. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
