Another BBC World exclusive with the Devil.

Please give a warm welcome

to our next special guest The Devil himself.

Thank you Andrew for having me.

Let's start shall we!

A fire!

No! The burning question on every-bodies lips is....

are you really the devil?

Of course I am dear chap! Would I lie to you?

Well! Better the Devil you know!

Ha Ha Ha!

Do you like your job?

Hell yes! Someone has to do it don't they,

and God didn't want it!

It's not that hard really.

Everybody down here is

because they are bad! Simple as that!

Not like in Heaven?

Heaven is like Earth. Too many people living in denial.

They, poor souls just cannot except that they are rotten!
Tragic really, but they will be screened and sent down.

So what's your favourite sales pitch?

Oh! Let me think for a moment. Yes! I've got one!

We don't burn you, we fry you!

Is it true the parties down there are bawdy and risque?

Of course! Where do you think bad girls go Andrew?

Heaven?

No!

Your favourite movie?

Witches of Eastwick!

A few words on affairs or adultery?

What's love got to do with it!

Your favourite food?

It's been barbecues lately!

 Bad People you can't wait to meet?

I love those goody goody two shoes called priests that abuse

innocent children and continue to plead not guilty.

They all break in the end. We only torture those deserving of torture!

The worst I tell you Andrew, are those who say

"I'm innocent I tell you!"

I've heard it all before!

Where's your horns and tail?

Oh! that's just a publicity stunt! Another God fabrication, curse his soul!

What's your most annoying line from the dammed?

"The devil made me do it!"

So what's below the horizon then?

We are expecting a big shipment,

the entire Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican!

They have lied for centuries, stolen wealth from the poor,

 murdered poor souls and kept the gold for their greedy selves.

And that's why they are coming to us,

we specialise in those religious practises of faith no more!

Okay! We'll leave it there in closing, thanks for dropping in, you Devil you!

 Ha! Ha! My pleasure Andrew.

My door for you is always welcome.

Come visit sometime!

Er! No thanks!

I prefer a colder climate!

From that point I was hooked, almost hearing a sneering, smirking voice coming from sprawling, drooling lips! What an example of your imagination, humour and, sir - awareness that gradually crept in about the relevance of evil versus good. Superb.

Thank you em for a delightful review.

I love the conversation between the devil and Andrew. Horn and tail question. Good answer considering the devil is a fallen angel so I’m not so sure he looks like we think he would.

There is so much truth told within this piece about corruption in the church and the denial of it all and massive coverups going on for centuries maybe longer.

This was a creative way to bring light to atrocities that have been committed by people who were supposed to be protectors and leaders in faith.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much for reviewing Poetic beauty

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. I found this a thought provoking piece with a little humor added in to lighten it up so that it wasn’t so heavy on the mind and heart as well.

[Patricia Wedel]

Wow... my Faith is restored... I believe I will have another Beer. Haha ... I am so Heaven-bound.... I am no earthly good. Turquoise is the new Pink. As Margie would say, “wink wink”. truly, Pat

[Ardra]

This one is hilarious :)

Love your interviews...you should do it more often.... maybe like a seasonal thing..

[.]

And here is the sequel to the God Interview!

This was hilarious! Loved the little in-jokes balanced with the more serious and truthful references to those despicables who truly do deserve to roast in Hell for all eternity.

This is the perfect companion piece to your earlier write. As witty as ever! Very well done!

[andrew mitchell]

You are most kind Doodley thanks for reading.

[Mrudula Rani]

The interview with the Devil is very interesting; I always thought Devil is the flip side of Devine ... You really got a lot of information from the Devil himself, the Devil is very forthcoming! Good job, Andrew!

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks dear poet for your words.

[Mrudula Rani]

Who is your next guest? How about Sigmund Freud?

[andrew mitchell]

haha the possibilities are endless and these pieces were not that popular by the lack of reviews I see, but maybe for my muse. Thanks for the idea!

[Mrudula Rani]

Your writings( all) are extremely intelligent and a pleasure to read!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! An amazing take on the concept of the Devil, his role and the many religions that acted in his name and like him in the history of mankind. Used and abused their adherents, their enemies, robbed and enriched themselves, launched wars and mass murders and so forth. Some have changed a little and some haven't. A lot of them on TV in America are so fake and in it for the money only. It used to be churches and now those individuals that claim to speak for God while if you check their personal bank accounts they are worth a fortune. I was amazed to find out Joel Austeen is worth 60 million dollars that he made from those innocent folks. They are so slick for they use a very good message which is contrary to what the religion teaches and enrich themselves. An excellent topic...

[andrew mitchell]

Many thanks Sami on an epic review, thank you, thank you, thank you. much appreciated.:)

[Sami Khalil]

You are very welcome.
