-Caveat Lector-
wonder why Nate took name of Asmodius, a Hebrew God and Lord of Flies -
lusty devil.
Asmodeus, in Hebrew demonology, the chief of the demons, occasionally
identified with the prince of demons, Beelzebub. He figures largely in
later Hebrew tradition, appearing in the Book of Tobit in the Old
Testament apocrypha as an evil spirit possessed of great lust.
He is represented as having loved Sarah, daughter of Raguel, and as
having slain seven men who were successively married to Sarah.
Tobias, who intended to marry Sarah, succeeded with the help of the
angel Raphael in exorcising the demon. Raphael pursued Asmodeus to Upper
Egypt and bound him, enabling Tobias and Sarah to live in peace.
In talmudic legends, Asmodeus is associated with Solomon, whom he aided,
notably in building the temple. He is also regarded as the cause of the
excesses ascribed to Solomon.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
