On a certain day, in assembly, Satan came before the Almighty Presence.
In abject fear, he says:
"Greetings, God!"
In unveiled contempt, he says:
"Jesus."
Satan does not even acknowledge the working of the Holy Spirit but, instead, screams:
"Accusation! Accusation!!
"STATE YOUR CASE!"
"Those humans you created believe in ME!
They belong to ME.
I AM their GOD!
I give them toys and earthly joys
And they love anything that cloys and annoys!

"Father. I love them."
"They despise your book of rules.
They prefer my style and live by my favorite rule "What I want I chose!"
"Father. I love them."
"They love the idols You hate!
