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?

Exactly so. While I myself have no belief in the Devil (or anything supernatural, for that matter), it would be an astonishing admittance of ignorance not to acknowledge that most Americans (around 70%, IIRC) do in fact believe 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!".

Do you believe in God though?

The first five books of The Bible, the Pentateuch or Torah if you will, spend very little time on this concept. The Serpent at Creation could easily have been God Himself.

This “ethical monotheism” is very much in accord with fundamental physics and mathematics, utilizing them as tools to “tease” God out of the structure of things and the universe itself.

Among His other “traits”, I believe that God is playful like that with us.

“Sh’ma Yisrael: Adonai Eloheinu. Adonai echad.”

Have you a link for that utter piece of excrement or just forgetting which way a toilet works.

Reagan in 1980 was the best thing to happen in this nation since its founding. Leave it to the left to ruin it.

These people that you claim never voted for Reagan happened to vote for whom?
