Once you substitute god with good and devil with evil everything related to god and devil becomes a comical narrative.

Tangent: interesting how "god" is "good" without an 'o', and "devil" is "evil" with an extra 'd'.

That was my very point, thank you for clarifying it. IIRC I came across it via Jan Irvin's The Pharmacratic Inquisition from 2007 [1] though I don't necessarily agree or endorse his work(s).

I saw it being referred to here [2] as well.

Perhaps its a matter of etymology. Wiktionary does not draw the link but I did find it an interesting read [3], and it did mention 'Good Friday'.
