Scalia gave this interview while firing on four cylinders. _____ Scalia talks about the devil, "Duck Dynasty" and knowing when to retire In a wide-ranging interview with New York Magazine, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia shared his insight into the influence of the devil in society, how he ended up watching an episode of the popular A&E show "Duck Dynasty," and how he'll know when to retire from his life term on the high court. After 27 years on the court, Scalia is its longest-serving member and a strict constitutional originalist. ...

No, this is the first time i've been exposed to this type of thinking. Do you have a link to a website where I can learn more? And don't link Wikipedia -- the devil can edit that.
I thought the 'Pine Curtain' served as a firewall to all those west and north/ east of it -- much like China's 'Great Firewall'.
Does anyone know what the world was like when the devil was conspicuous in society? Spoiler Because seeing that thing would be terrifying.
It was better when we could just beat sinners to death with rocks and burn the heretics. What happened to our culture?
