2 great lessons from “The Screwtape Letters”, by C.S. Lewis:
1. Satan informs his student temptor that the greatest lie they can trick people into believing is “we don’t exist”.
2. “Cards are as good as murder if cards do the trick.”
Meaning that the sins they tempt people into committing, need not be spectacular, as long as it costs them their soul.
That is simply amazing. What a way to explain how it works. That statement says it all!
