"There's the ever popular idea that evil exists because of Satan but... pfft, I've met Satan, and I've met Lucifer, and they are the worst, but they don't make people do anything. People do what they do. Rotten luck, and women beaten to death by their husbands, and cancer that kills babies. At some point you think someone higher should step in if He loves His creation so much."
