OCC:The devil asks his helpers for a 'good' plan...

   The story is told that some time ago Satan called together all the
hosts of the lower realm because he wanted to send another of his
diabolical assistants to earth. When they had all assembled he asked
them.

   "Who is willing to go to earth to assist me with the destruction of
the souls of the son's of men?"

   A young demon, hoping to attain a lower ranking quickly volunteered
to go.

   "And what is your plan for assisting me with the destruction of the
souls of the son's of men?" asked Satan.

   "I will tell them that there is no hell," replied the demon.

   "No, that will never do," Satan said. "For within the heart of every
man there is an awful sense of justice and because of that, no matter
how much they try to deny it or are otherwise taught, mankind still
senses that there must be a place of punishment. They will never be
convinced beyond question that there is no hell. You may not go. Your
plan will fail."

   Again Satan asked, "Who is willing to go to earth to assist me with
the destruction of the souls of the son's of men?"

   A somewhat older demon, who loved the oppertunity to make the
younger demons look stupid, sneered at the first volunteer and said,
"I'll go."

   Again Satan asked, "What is your plan for assisting me with the
destruction of the souls of the son's of men?"

   With another sneer toward the younger demon he answered, "I'll tell
the son's of men that there is no heaven."

   "No," Satan replied again, "That will be no better. For, as we know
all to well, every man retains within him something of the image of God
his creator and because of that while they often wish they could deny
it they will never be fully convinced that there is no heaven. No, your
plan will not work and you may not go."

   A third time Satan asked, "Who is willing to go to earth to assist
me with the destruction of the souls of the son's of men?"

   Much to the surprise of all those present an old demon, who never
had much to say, volunteered to assist with the destruction of the
son's of men.

   Again Satan asked, "What is your plan for assisting me with the
destruction of the souls of the son's of men?"

   "I'll tell them," the old demon a bit timidly, "I'll tell them that
there is no hurry."

   "Go!" shouted Satan, "for your plan will surely succeed. All men
have within them the sense of both heaven and hell but if we can keep
them from considering their eternal destiny then hell will certainly
grab them before they take hold of heaven."
