A Piece of Truth<\/b><\/p>\n
Once the Devil was walking along with one of his cohorts. They saw a man ahead of them pick up something shiny. \u201cWhat did he find?\u201d asked the cohort. \u201cA piece of the truth,\u201d the Devil replied. \u201cDoesn\u2019t it bother you that he found a piece of the truth?\u201d asked the cohort. \u201cNo,\u201d said the Devil, \u201cI will see to it that he makes a religion out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
