puella -> RE: SATAN!! (8/3/2006 4:04:05 AM)

Hehe, Gauge, I agree the banana is evil, but am unwilling to pin that on Satan. Why I think, in the course of that work of literature, Satan gets a bad rap is... Gor created him, God is all powerful and all knowing (hence suggesting that he knew even when Satan couldn't) and both made Satan and the entire set up which allowed the whole fall from grace to happen in the first place. If God wants to go about creating universes, creatures and heavenly realms, without enabling his creatures to be equipped with the same abilities and understandings that he has, he has created not only the good but the bad. To have created the bad and then pin all the fall out on one of the lesser creatures he made so that he can have a convenient scape goat seems kind of less that 'All perfect, All knowing, All the time' (Think God wears that T-shirt?).... God has shown his lack of ability to deal with his super-powers and super temper a few times in the bible... like flooding and massacring all of creation (oh, except for the darlings he hand picked for the boat) when he realized he had fucked something up somewhere and it was not going to plan...
