"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
-- The Usual Suspects

and in other news...

A convicted murderer says the Devil made him do it — but he wants God to pay for his sins. The inmate, a Romanian identified only as Pavel M., is suing God for failing to save him from Satan. Pavel says when he was baptized as a child, he was in fact making a pact with God that was supposed to protect him from all evil and keep him out of trouble. "God received ... valuables from me, as well as prayers in exchange for promises of a better life," he notes in his lawsuit. "In reality, this did not happen — I found myself in the devil's hands."

Pavel, who's serving 20 years in the Timisoara jail in western Romania, has fingered the Romanian Orthodox Church as God's direct representative here on Earth. And he says it's the church that should be forced to compensate him for the God-inflicted damage wrought by His alleged crimes: "Cheating, concealment, abuse against people's interest, taking bribe and traffic of influence."

Pavel's complaint was sent to the Timisoara Court of Justice and forwarded to the prosecutor's office. But court officials say the suit will likely be dropped because the defendant — identified as "God, resident in Heaven" — is neither an individual nor a company, and therefore not subject to a civil court's jurisdiction.

And besides, they could have difficulty delivering the subpoena.
