I know the concept of the devil isn't new, and am not especially interested in that.
What interests me is the idea specified in Jim's last sentence, which is the basic tenet of The Lucifer Principle. I stress - again - that religion does not appear to be a part of this concept.
SO - could evil be a survival mechanism? If so, does it work and can humans reject it?
