Is The Devil An Allergic Reaction?

Sometimes the human body mistakes something totally harmless, like pollen or a peanut, for a dangerous threat and as a result attacks itself causing allergic reactions, which can cause serious health problems including death. Do we as a society do the same thing when we think the Devil is everywhere, leading us in our effort to fight off a threat to attack ourselves? Join the guys this week as they discuss how our modern understanding of the devil may be an allergic reaction and how we can move beyond it.
