What's evil about Pan and Dionysus?


Nothing, this was my point. The OP just implied that the small devil image of FreeBSD represents evil in the entire history of humanity which is false.


You wrote in the context of the devil being

> the source of every single evil, cruel, horrible thing

and used Pan and Dionysus as a counter-example.

If you're saying 'well, Pan and Dionysus both have horns like the bsd mascot' I don't find that compelling either because the identifying characteristics don't line up (different types of horns, the tail, the pitchfork, and so on).
