All should read the full article, especially the NY Magazine interview excerpt with Scalia that is the topic for young turk.
NYMAG—Isn’t it terribly frightening to believe in the Devil?
Scalia—You’re looking at me as though I’m weird. My God! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the Devil?

It's a bit someone who famously said after President Reagan's 1980 victory, "How could he have won? I don't know a single person who voted for him!".
I wish I had not been illegitimately banned from TH, because several of the inevitable resident trolls’ commenting will need to be repudiated.
A lot of great posters have been banned. I think Leftists have infiltrated the administration of that forum.
Thanks for the ping. I’m with Justice Scalia on this.
