Stumble it!
The devil and his friend were walking down the road when they noticed a passer by pick something up off the ground. The friend wondered aloud as to what the person had found. Satan replied that they had picked up a piece of Truth. His friend was chagrin, “You can’t just let people go around finding Truth, can you? I mean, what kind of world would this be….?”
The devil laughed out loud and calmly reassured his friend, “Oh don’t worry, they’ll just turn it into a belief…I’ve seen this a million times before!” Somehow Satan’s friend didn’t look convinced to which the devil addressed his final comment, “Just ask Jesus. He’s came into the world and embodied Truth and look what happened to him…his disciples just ended up founding Christianity!”
Relieved, the friend mused, “Yeah, I guess you’re right…nothing to be worried about I suppose.”
