The devil doesn’t need an advocate. He’s got Democrats and Lefties.

"The devil doesn’t need an advocate. He’s got Democrats and Lefties."

I don't plan to be an advocate for the devil, or Democrats, or Leftists. Pretty much the same thing, anyway.

"Devil's advocate" is a phrase meaning someone speaking on the side of an unpopular position, one he may not even hold himself. Like a lawyer for the defense.

dev·il's advocate (dvlz)

n.

1. One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument or to determine the validity of the cause or position.

2. Roman Catholic Church An official appointed to present arguments against a proposed canonization or beatification.

I mention it because it's such a contrast with the notion of atheism. An atheist wouldn't believe in the devil, either.
