Gee, your religion "works for you"!  Therefore it, also, is drivel.

The Devil went down to Georgia... and started his own religious network.
It had satellites and 800 numbers.  It had music and faith healing.
Why, he even thought he'd run for president.

But there were too many people who saw him as a fool, no matter which
bible he thumped.  So he gave up the political path, and all the heavy
journalistic scrutiny that goes with it, and went back into the mire
of other fools with satellites and tax-deductible phone-in lines.

And all the time, his followers kept wondering why they felt as though the
universe was laughing behind their backs...
