The word 'diabolis' means 'to cast against'.

There is also the sixth commandment 'thou shalt
not kill'.

Then there is the question, are beliefs something
that one can control, or are they the product of
an external environment?

I may have already posted this, but out of respect
for the second phrase some of my earlier statements
are repealed.

Nonetheless, I think it is also reasonable to say
that is not possible for words to have meaning to
human beings anyway.  Humans are animals controlled
by their base instincts, and all words emitted by
humans follow this.  It is not possible for the
word of any person to be good.  It is not possible
for a person to adopt any religion.  Have a nice
day.  You can get back to naysaying physical laws.
