Product Description
The author himself would be the first to say we all like to think we know right from wrong, but in the heat of real-world moral decisions, things often arise to cloud our minds. From a doctor peeking into a patient’s room to remark, “85 dollars just to poke my head through the door! Doesn’t that make you sick?” to a minister telling his congregation, “I won’t be giving a sermon today because you’re all going to hell anyway,” Byrnes’s offbeat humor will delight anyone who has ever considered leaving a few (or all) of their morals behind. Byrnes offers guidance, too, to those still struggling with good and evil: “If you know what would absolutely be wrong, then you know that you absolutely should search in the other direction.”

LOVED IT
This is a very funny comic book and don’t be turned off by title. It is really not all about Satan, but more of an expose’ on the moral status of the country. Quick and dirty!
