ORIGINAL: NaiveTempest They were just the other side of the balance. For light there must be dark, for order there must be chaos, for life there must be death, etc... The word you're looking for is khthonic (alternate spellings include kthonic, chthonic, cthonic, etc.), I believe. quote:
But, Satan, on the other hand, is seen as the personification of evil, true maliciousness without cause, reason, or balance (unless it would be jealousy?). Nietzsche aside, create a concept of good and evil like most Christians do, and some drives all humans share will tend to seek their expression in an inversion of these things. Rejecting the notion of good (and evil along with it) negates the false dichotomy and dispels the more complicated expressions of malice, leaving only something recognizably feral in nature. And feral isn't nearly as "scary" as the structured and systematic approach that is afforded by the framework set up by such a dichotomy. Learn good, and you know evil. Realize that they are both illusions created by your mind, and neither one exists anymore. Satan and evil are pathologies, pretty much. Health, al-Aswad.
