"the Lowest Branch" - would that be the 'branch' they are still swinging from?
(you'll have to excuse me - I don't normally approve of levity, but this seemed too good an opportunity to miss.)
The devil, whose business is to pervert the truth, mimics the exact circumstance of the Divine Sacraments. He baptises his believers and promises forgiveness of sins...he celebrates the oblation of bread, and brings in the symbol of the resurrection. Let us therefore acknowledge the craftiness of the devil, who copied certain things of those that be divine."
Tertullian (155-222 AD) from The Prescription Against Heretics' Ch XL
