+------The Greatest Of All Possible Worlds; Satan's Speech To Jesus Atop The Mountain 

Step a bit higher. Yes. I
have watched you in nights
preceding alone, swinging your
arms as against a foe, froth from
your mouth embedded in the creases,
hurling parched-throat moon epithets
at the Empire. Fingers interlocking atop
your stomach- a young mercenary,
a “redemptive cause” and just-
sharpened sword, misguided. Patient
with hunger pangs, thirst. As if
something were wrong here, antithetical
to the Good. But bow before me, and
I will show you men, women, who
love life; Kingdoms and their choicest
fruits: any pleasure, decadence, 
indulgence. Kneel and admit: this world
is good, needs no fixing. 

------Matthew 4:1-11
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
