Hmmm.... It seems to me that the Bible teaches me Satan has more power than I have on my own. So in a way, yes. And even though God is on my side, the devil wins a battle now and then. Just like he won a battle against Peter (who was undoubtedly closer to Jesus than I am). But in Silicon Valley, at least, I don't think Satan usually tries to be scary. He is more into the "angel of light" and he looks like stock options, great salaries, leading edge technology, etc. As for 666 showing up on your blog, here's what I like about it -- it reminded you that Satan is real, and it gave you an excuse to remind the rest of us.
