the power of the devil

In November, a church held a pageant,
and the ending was of a battle
between God and Satan.
The church hired a stage actor
to play Satan, and true to the actor’s
form, he used many special effects
to make Satan appear more realistic.
The actor used a voice shifter for a
dark and evil voice, and also used his
fire-breathing skills to make the devil
more devilish.
The dramatic show was too much
for two congregation members,
because the two had a heart attacks
during the performance. One was in
critical condition, the other died.
