If you weren't referred to as Satan, you would at least be called a demon
sent by Satan to cause christians to lose faith. You would then be burned
alive at the stake along with your new hybrid(s) and all of your research
notes. Years later, the pope would issue an apology and claim that it was
wrong, but the people who burned you will be forgiven and still be issued a
"Get into Heaven Free" card.
