Satan Becoming More Famous Every Day

south_park_satan.gifSometimes Satan gets such a bad rap you almost feel sorry for the guy. Well, not today! Today Satan is befriended by not one, but TWO religions. Yup, you guessed it: Islam and Christianity.

In Iran, 49 new criminals have been fined or detained for sporting “satanic” Western-styled hair or clothing:

Some individuals, not knowing what culture they are imitating, put on clothing that was designed by the enemies of this country,” Rahmani said. “The enemies of this country are trying to divert our youth and breed them the way they want and deprive them of a healthy life,” he added.

But leave it to the Americans to really make Satan work for them:

A campaign debuting Wednesday will use the devil to pitch the rebranding of a New York religous cable service, The Prayer Channel, into NET (New Evangelism Television). … “The Church has used the good vs. evil conflict to promote religion for two centuries,” he added. “In our campaign, the Devil urges viewers to avoid good TV and stick with ‘crappy, pointless, bad television,’ said Ad Agency parnter Michael Migliozzi in announcing the new campaign.

With two efforts so closely aligned you wonder why all these guys don’t get along better! But let’s be fair. We can’t leave out the Jews! Unfortunately, Jews do not seem to call on Satan very often. They have, however, been cooking up schemes to attack Iran, with or without the cooperation of the United States. That’s sort of satanic, I think, maybe? But how cool is this? It seems that Bush, et al, have done some things right after all. According to the Jerusalem Post:

Several news reports have claimed recently that US President George W. Bush has refused to give Israel a green light for an attack on Iranian facilities. One such report, published in September in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, claimed that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert requested a green light to attack Iran in May but was refused by Bush.

If we’re very careful, wear the right body-concealing clothing to hide our shameful bodies, try not to attack other countries, and watch the *right* evangelist TV show, we can all just say no to Satan no matter how big a celebrity he becomes.
