I grew up fundamentalist christian and so it seemed normal to me, but after having been an atheist for a couple decades, it really strikes me now how absurd christian theology is. Your'e right, any reasonable exegesis of the scriptures will describe the character of Satan in terms nowhere near the current portrait. But theologians don't give a fuck. A villain serves the narrative for dramatic purposes, so there you go. Satan's the badguy.
A Gemma is forever.
