I've long since believed that Satan was a guy who had opinions that didn't match the Almighty, so he
was kicked out of the club for angels and got a crappy gig in the underworld. Its not that he's
necessarily evil, but perhaps he isn't exactly an altar boy either. I think Satan just catches a bad
wrap sometimes.
I just don't buy into the hype of Hell being this fire pit completely covered in darkness. I think
Hell looks like a pimped out hotel, especially for some of the Devil's more prominent guests. I
mean, why would Satan treat his prized minions bad anyway? He's probably a businessman who knows how
to get the best out of his people. |

Yes Satan is an Acronym for Santa... Coincidence? I think not children. Greed and commercialism
have taken over... Beware beware... |

There is no such thing as good or evil.
Simply a diverse lifestyle
We all evolve at a different rate
To imply there is right or wrong is to suggest we have a soul /spirit
AND WE KNOW THAT AINT SO |

It always seemed to me that certain characters in the bible ‘evil’ betrayals were intrinsically
necessary to the plot line that results in moral lessons that the bible tries to convey. Without the
Lucifer’s pride the bible would have no antagonist. Without Judas’s betrayal Jesus couldn’t
have died for anyone’s sins. So it seems to me that Satan within the parameter of the biblical
mythos is really performing a required service, a service that considering his angelic origin,
he’s probably not much good at and most likely hates. If you’ve seen the true evil that
human’s are capable of you might begin to suspect that the diabolical would most likely take
lessons from us. |

Well if you believe in a religion with a god or gods, etc there has to be a Satan or a negative
character to keep it balanced. Satan actually means light. The reason why was because he wouldn't
bow down to man. But he is both because he punishes the sinners but the question is is it his right
to? |

Satan does not exist. The IDEA of Satan does, however. Therefore I will argue this in that basis
alone.
I agree that in the Christian view of Satan's role, he is both an influence of sin and a punish er
of the wicked. In the first of the 2 views, I believe that it is not Satan that tempts people but
rather, people just being people. It is in our nature to go the path of least resistance.
Therefore, Satan is not influencing anyone. It is the fear of Death and what happens to those
deemed "wicked" that people are afraid of. This means that Satan actually serves a purpose for good
rather than evil. He is the ultimate "bad cop" of the good cop-bad cop partnership.
This is also why the Christian belief in armageddon is also ridiculous. If Satan punishes sinners,
then his is a truly complementary role to that of God and vital for a state of balance. If there is
to be a war between heaven and hell, then it also makes sense that Hell is NOT a place of punishment
and that horrible behavior and sins would be rewarded rather than the opposite. Also, you find both
Heaven and Hell not to be the places you'd expect them to be. Think of it this way...if you've ever
played any sports at school in gym class you'll understand my point. Take volleyball for example.
Each team is taking turns picking players. Hell picks this AWESOME player that happens to play EVEN
BETTER with one of the other guys that hasn't been picked yet. Now, does team Heaven pick who they
WANT to pick, or the guy that plays TOP NOTCH with the guy already on team Hell.
If this was the real case, then don't expect Hitler to be in Hell. Would Heaven really want a man
THAT EVIL that could get an entire country to follow in his craziness commanding an army of troops
in Hell. I think not. Better a benchwarmer on team Heaven than an opponent.
Heaven/Hell, God/Satan, Good/Evil...they are all subjective. Therefore, not real. |

So i don't really believe in an actual entity of satan. However, i do believe in a certain polarity
of good and evil. Each having elements that are influential upon each of us and some perhaps actual
agents of those people. I there is such an agent who works on behalf of the polarity of this
negativity then he dwells in cruelty and hate. There is a certain power that is derived from these
polarities and if there is a "satan", he then does indeed possess evil, just as some possess good. |

Omg..! Use your brains for once..!! SATAN ENJOYS PUNISHING PEOPLE..HE ENJOYS TORTURING THEM..
Think..would people even NEED to go to Hell if Satan didn't lure them there..? Would they need to be
punished if satan didn't fill their minds and hearts with hate and anger..?
No..if Satan was soo good then why is he feeding peoples minds with hate and evil..? He does this so
that they loose their chances of Paradise and can not get in heaven, so that he can hve his
disgusting 'pleasure' of punishing them for the things he made them do..
Satan is evil..and his followers (Astaghfirullah) have been mislead in2 his trap..be strong and
fight against him..he is a liar..u will gain nothing from following him..he is just waiting till the
day u die, so that he can punish u worse of all..he will torture you as a reward for following
him..be strong and follow the right path..only then wil u get ur reward..=] ameen..x |

This... Makes no sense.... Satan doesn't punish those who've sinned. He tempts those into sinning,
just to ruin their lives. Satan pushes you to evil so that you can destroy your life, just as God
pushes you to encounter hardships and seek love in his name. Satan tricks you into thinking of evil
things and then doing them, and then astraying from the rightious path. Is Satan our parent? No,
he's evil. He wants us to die within him with evil, disgusting sins bugging us. |

What is evil? Satan is naughty? Or is it Satan supports holocausts?
Satan hates humans. It's not like Satan doesn't have good reason. Satan hates humans because they
made God imperfect. (humans like to make God imperfect in discussions on this site at evey turn).
Satan does not want to punish humans. Satan would prefer to obliterate the nasty, inferior creatures
from being. True, punishing them might make the humans dislike God more, but in the end, Satan knows
that persecuting humans too much brings them to their knees. Satan learned that in World War II.
Nope. Satan has learned the best way to deal with humans is to protect their complacency. No right
and wrong. It's all opinions. There is no answer to anything.
Then, just maybe, God will see that humans could care less about God.
Can somebody give me a reference where Satan punishes? Or is this just "we can make up whatever we
like day"? |

Yes he is,first you sell him your soul then he punishes you for sinning. I wouldn't trust him if I
were you. |

How can Satan be evil, Satan is a fictional character in a book. |

Let me say all good comes from God. All life comes from God. People have a hard time understanding
how God created Satan. God made Satan. Satan was God's number one, and turned against God. Think of
a King where his most loyal subject turns on him.
Now think. Is hate opposite to Love? No. Indifference is. Is Love opposite to hate? No. Indifference
is. Evil is not the opposite equal power to balance good. That is why evil is lack of good. The same
way darkness is lack of light. Think of our earth, a place of darkness with candles all over it. You
just have to find those candles. Light and dark don't mingle. People think they can, but down to
'atom and atom' they don't mingle. |

Yes, but he tempts others into sin, so he can then punish them. |
