Yeah because when you believe in imaginary entities and your imaginary entity is the goody, it makes perfect sense to imagine there is a baddy. Otherwise who would we blame for all the shit? Rolleyes

The concept of hasatan isn't really a 'baddy'. He's not even a particular being. He's sort of a force of nature that induces people to make choices that violate everything that they believe in. And even he is sort of disappointed when he's successful.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
