Yeah, and the irony is that in the Bible, Lucifer never even asked for an animal or human sacrifice, but god did.
If we go after things that weren't said in the Bible then hell as we imagine should be among the first. Maybe that's the reason clergy are so beyond repair?
And while we are at it, the description of hell we used to is Dante's storytelling of Hieronymus Bosch's interpretation of an Irish monk's account of a early medieval Cork knight's ba~~g~~d trip.
Since Dante died almost 2 centures before H. Bosch, that's some insightful storytelling.
The serpent never even told Eve to eat the fruit (the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, why would God create such a tree and why wouldn't he want humans to have such knowledge? So stupid). All it did was tell her that it was an option.
Not to mention they literally had no concept of good and evil prior to eating it. Therefore they literally could not have known disobeying God was a bad thing. It's all just so fucking ridiculous that people buy this shit.
I asked that question when I was a kid in catechism class. To the credit of the Dominican brother who was teaching the class, he wasn't reactive, but later had a side-talk with me about demanding logical consistency from allegory. But that realization planted the seed that eventually led to my abandoning religion.
Yeah it's absurd. Even if taken completely allegorical.
Excellent name.
Also, under the Christian dogma, Satan has no authority beyond what God allows. Who then is truly responsible for his actions?
Satan is God's QA guy. Maybe a bit more prone to destructive testing than he really needs to be.
