“A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.”

Anne Rice (1941) American writer

“A perfectly evil human society is unthinkable: it would be self-destructive. We therefore deny that any society of absolutely evil spirits could be permanent.

It is certain that the Devil cannot be the creative source of evil in the same way that God is the creative source of good.”
