The land is planted thick with man's laws, not god's, and if the devil himself were to appear in that courtroom, I would give him the benefit of the law.

this is a rather bleak outlook. where does Man get any of his ideas from if not from God?

if you reject God's laws, what prevents the devil from making the very ones you will apply to him later? he is not an idle fellow. if you leave the chess set alone, he will move the pieces in his favor when you're not looking.
