re reading the OP, I think he may have been attacking Santa for staling Christmas for his own ends. An easy spelling error to make. ---

I thought Satan had been Pitted long before this message board came into existence. Anyway, assuming one buys into any of this, it’s clear that God wants Satan around. I mean, if he didn’t he would have had him whacked by now, right? ---

After much searching I finally found this decidedly appropriate bit of brilliance from **BrainGlutton**. (To the tune of ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’) \* Mine eyes have seen the coming of the Dark Lord Antichrist He is humorous and handsome, and he isn’t very nice We’ll get along just fine if you don’t make him tell you twice Apocalypse today! CHORUS: Gory, gory Armageddon! Gory, gory Armageddon! Gory, gory Armageddon! Apocalypse today! It’s really most annoying, with the rains of flaming pitch And the things that bite, and things that burn, and things that sting and itch But, oh, that Whore of Babylon’s a lusty, royal bitch! Apocalypse today! (CHORUS) It’s really most confusing, with the Horsemen in the skies And the seven seals, and seven plagues, and lambs with seven eyes But we get no fun from Jesus, so bring on the Prince of Lies! Apocalypse today! (CHORUS)\* 🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-satan/406034.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-satan/406034.md?page=3)
