A Deal With the Devil
#8
RE: A Deal With the Devil
I'm kind of meh about that. We've been told Satan as evil. Though the fact that we're told this by people who worship a mass murdering psychopath makes me feel that may not be accurate. Of course one evil being can still call another being evil, and be correct, but the devil's main crime seems to be not wanting to worship Yahweh, whose actions would be considered horrifically evil by a modern audience, if it was committed by anyone else. That makes the devil more relatable than god. The story of the devil is an interesting one, but since it's entirely one-sided, we can't get a good answer. Of course Satan and Yahweh are likely fictional characters, so in the end it doesn't really matter, anymore than analyzing Gandalf and Saruman.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
