I've heard the latest accusations of me being the Devil. But Dean's Jesus, right? I just want to get this straight. How can people be so fucking stupid? Now then, let's talk about the Devil. Where did we first hear of this supernatural deity? The Bible. So let's examine the biblical description of the Devil and see if there's a match. First of all, let's look at who accused Jesus of performing miracles by the power of Beelzebub. I believe it was the Pharisees. And the Pharisees were hated by Christ for being wealthy hypocrites who made a great show of their piety, much like wealthy evangelists do on television today. Do you think televangelists are behind this new campaign against me? In Luke 4, Jesus is tempted by the Devil in the desert. The Devil says that all of the wealth and power of the world are his to give to whomever he chooses. I'm on disability. I've been poor all my adult life. In John 8:44 it is written: 'Satan is a liar and the father of all lies.' Who lied to you? Who is in prison right now for lying to you about my work? Not me. I told the truth. And who supported these liars? In Isaiah 14:13-14 Satan's arrogance is clear: 'I will make myself like the Most High.' What did I do in 2007 when my voices told me I had a hit song on the web? I erased it and went out looking for a day job. I wish I had found one before things got this bad. Milton also implied Satan's arrogance in Paradise Lost, where the Devil says to God: 'It is better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.' Milton was a poet who wrote about Paradise. Dante was a poet who wrote about Hell and Purgatory and Paradise. So is it all right if I write about these things in my poems? Or will that make me the Devil? |
