The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

Re: The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

I refuse to seriously participate in a discussion of this nature. However, I still wish to have my voice heard. Not for any reason in particular, but rather just for the hell of it.

Re: The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

Evil is completely subjective. Don't pull that game.

Re: The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

Umm, here's my opinion on this, he isn't real. Religions are made-up thoughts that the more intelligent of the people created to not put fear or depession into the normal people's lives. They made religions because dying and thinking you are not going anywhere is a very frightening thought. Not trying to push my athiesm on anyone, I am just responding to the thread. I am pretty sure there are many other people on here who do not believe in religions anyways. Well, anyways, Bible stories really do not have any historical facts to back them up and they are quite silly if you really pay attention to them. If you believe that there is a magical, invisible man in the sky, good for you. I, on the other-hand, am too intelligent to believe these stories; not saying that anyone who is religious isn't intelligent, I am just saying... HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT CRAP!?!

Read the thread first, before beating the dead horse for the millionth time. Jeez

Yes, evil or misunderstood; May I put neither of them? As I do not believe he exists, or is this not the forum to talk about that? Must I go somewhere else to post my opinions?

Re: The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

UGH.

The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, whatever you choose to call him was not given the "job" of kicking sinners' asses for all eternity.

He rebelled against God and so God created the place of eternal damnation for Satan and his followers to suffer for all eternity. Satan does not do the punishing. The punishment IS being in hell forever.

It's in like the very beginning of the Bible, for crying out loud.

This thread is NOT, I repeat NOT, about whether or not God or Satan exists, nor does it have anything to do with whether or not religion is right or wrong. If you don't believe he exists because 'ur a cool athiest kid' or whatever, great. It's just that we don't care about that in this thread. And don't get all butt-hurt and be like "can i not express my opinions ;___; ." Sure you can, just do so in the appropriate thread. This thread is about whether or not Satan is evil. And in this thread, it is assumed that Satan exists. This is not the place to be saying "BUT SATAN DOESN'T EXIST BECAUSE I'M SMART ^.^" Just don't post anything.

Re: The Devil (Evil or misunderstood?)

My opinion I don't believe god or Satan exists...but thats beside the point, the question is Devil evil???

That entirely depends on your view...after all his job is to tempt us all, which in that case he eventually gets you in hell. You could say that his job is to keep people who don't deserve to go to heaven out of heaven...He tested Jesus right? but just because he did doesn't mean he is evil...Hell he keeps all the scum bags off this planet and give them what they deserve right?

He is doing what is natural to him though, you don't call a lion evil because it hunts and kills...of course not, this is natural to that animal/person/being...

lol makes me sound like a bible toting preacher...damn Religous Education...

Try reading the other posts in the thread before giving your opinion, as stretchypanda explained just four posts prior about how incredibly wrong you are.

Satan doesn't punish; God does. It is not natural for Satan to be evil, as he was once an angel. He rebelled against God because he did not like God's good ways.

There is not such thing as evil, just a different points of views.

Like I said Jewpin, subjective. CHRIST!
