@ericjames@booping.synth.download as a Christian (kinda) myself I've been thinking about just this issue: the core deadly feature of "deals with the devil" in Christian mythology is the contract, the merciless binding agreement that always seems like a win-win at the start, and despite a gigantic literary tradition of depicting the ruinous nature of such contracts they're the very glue of "Western Civilization" and a pillar of the right-wing personality. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled etc.
