The Evolution of Satan in the Bible
December 13, 2012 at 1:07 am



Quite interesting and thought provoking, No Satan = No evil = No Hell.
Your thoughts.
Let the Apologetics, to worm there way out of this, BEGIN.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

Sans any Satan, xtians have no get out of jail free card to pull to hide the many fault and failings of being human.

Also noted is the absorption of the many polytheistic "trickster" gods into this Satan. Typical religious BS, if one can't use words or the sword one appropriates to rule
Very interesting ..... great find Gooders

BTW, I do find it hilarious (well, not really) that you would post a post complaining about interpretations that are not mainstream when you are a non-trinitarian. Just saying. Wink

Was I complaining about the interpretation? No...
I was pointing out the hypocritical poster who chastised me for NOT being mainstream, for not being mainstream... BTW, you're very amusing too...

Funny as hell. The dude that types Yeshua instead of Jesus punches in Say-tin.
