How their nature is viewed depends on one's theological stance maybe, but they certainly have many resemblances to eikones (which include the pagan gods of old). The devils are said by The Good Book and the religions that follow it to be fallen, reprobate angels. Other believers see them differently.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-11558070048760902112012-09-05T18:44:06.428-04:002012-09-05T18:44:06.428-04:00@Trey - Wasn't aware that the devils were eiko...@Trey - Wasn't aware that the devils were eikones - does that mean that there is divine (ok profane?) magic available to their chosen? <br /><br />Obviously the Devils are opposed to more orderly Eikones like Management, but how do they relate to Old time Religion etc?Gus Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872819206286105195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-61318876595029829912012-09-04T11:05:03.255-04:002012-09-04T11:05:03.255-04:00@Gusty L - Good reference.

We'll see what those guys busy these guuys busy themselves with in a relative time of piece in a future post.

I wonder about devil's of war like Bael - they'd seem likely to have glutted themselves in Weird Adventures and rather too busy or too big for a 'mere' crime syndicate.Gus Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872819206286105195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-9630241999453375812012-09-03T19:50:54.924-04:002012-09-03T19:50:54.924-04:00Thanks guys!
