No Hurry

[datura]

One day the Devil was talking with all his employees trying to figure out an excellent solution to conspire against the human race, and screw things up even further for the masses. What could be the great delusion, so they would all fuck themselves up on the path.

One big, strong, brawny demon stepped forth, and said "Tell them there is no God."

The Prince of Darkness shunned him away immediately. "No big deal, the issue of God is irrelevant to begin with. People can debate on if God exists or not or the nature - the Buddhist say God is irrelevant and they're becoming enlightened in droves. Not good enough, please anyone have anything better for me?"

Another demon stepped forth, cracking an egg at the Evil One's feet.

"How about we convince those feather and furless humans there is no soul, and they're nothing more than animals like everyone else?"

The Dark One became angry and shouted back "Not good enough! The matter of soul or no soul will be resolved in its own time - I need something better - has anyone got half a brain in this joint which is good at conning the planet? I need a conman who can pull the wool over these human's eyes. Anyone brillaint enough in this house - there has to be someone?"

The Evil One stared at the little imp, and paused. Whispers back and forth between the demons were laughing at the statement "That's a lousy idea! Foolish little imp!"

The Dark One raised his hand demanding silence, then finally said, "Yes, that is it. You've got it. Now go, and make mischief."

And the little imp slithered away, as the demons parted, making way for the imp, separating like the Red Sea, watching him slowly go, off to do the deed....
