    Haha, this is a cool contest idea, I've seen that picture on Wikipedia. I might try an' enter if my muse cooperates

    Btw: It's funny that you said to check spelling and grammar, but misspelled a couple of words, like "compelled" and "grammar" felt like pointing it out

    Hmmm but if you believe in the devil then you are religious, because there is that opposite toi the devil, no?

        Ok then who or what exactly is the devil? A fantasy creature? Interesting that you said THE devil rather than A devil. Lol not tryiong to be difficult just an intersting question i am pondering
