Hmmmm, interesting.  I'm one who feels that Lucifer has no power (over • the

A lie spoken into the proper ears can destroy a world, ne?
Absolutely!  But only if acted upon.
And if the lie is "There is no God....."?

I wonder what would happen if God came down today and said, "I don't really
exist.  I had you all fooled.  Have a nice day."

Would that be a lie?  Or, since it came from God Himself, would it be a
paradox?

Well, since there is no god, it would be hard for him to come down.  The whole
bible is a lie, its the world's best selling fiction novel.
