Why do people just GIVE their soul to Jesus when Satan is willing to pay you for it?

Satan isn’t evil. He is to God what Linux is to Windows: Freedom, independence, choice, responsibility. No wonder those in power want their sheep to believe otherwise.

In Catholic theology, anyway, Satan is not the boss of hell. He is a prisoner in it just like everyone else, just more notorious than the rest.

The show Lucifer is fun way to explore that.

he isnt

he is tempting them to sin

but when the time comes

he will be thrown into the abyss

Satan doesn't do the punishing, God does.

Because that lore isn't from The Bible, it's from Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost.

Satan just wants you to be yourself and be cool to everyone else.

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

My favorite part of this post is people from different flavors of Christianity arguing completely different things using the same source.

Satan isn't evil, he even turn Buu good. He's the greatest.

Satan's punishment is dishing out punishment because he's actually very passive and nice, so to him punishing others is very traumatic.

I liked the jacaobs ladder view on demons.

A soul trying to cling to its old life will feel haunted but one that is at peace Will see them as angels.

Quoting top comment from youtube:

14th-century Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart:

"Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: 'The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you', he said. 'They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and ... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."

You don't have to have a literal hell to know for yourself the truth of Eckhart's insight! Tremendously deep movie.

If a masochist goes to hell he's in heaven

Christians frame things as "All of the Christians are sitting here in one group, and all of the non-Christians are sitting over there in a different group."

And that's fine. It's absolutely true.

And if God exists and is the creator of the universe, that's pretty good for the Christians, and pretty bad for everyone else.

But if God doesn't exist, then the Christians are just all together in a group that isn't getting to enjoy their existence while the rest of the world is just trying to enjoy theirs, and the Christians are just trying to prevent those other people from enjoying their lives.

Either way, I'm surprised that the creator of the universe would organize things so that it would look that way from the outside.

I like South Park Satan. That is how I choose to see it.

Who ever said Satan is punishing evil doers?

isnt almost all his demons giving people deals too and its rarely him doing it.

No, but you see, the Christian God is merciful. Oh, wait.

There is a book called Waiting for the Intergalactic bus where god and satan turn out to be 2 energy based life forms who are students and were accidentally left behind on a class trip. Satan decides to ignore the prime directive and interfere with life on earth to pass the time. The torture in hell is strictly the humans idea, if I remember correctly.

It's pretty metal to make the "most condemned" of all of them into the jailer.

Uh oh Deep, if you put more than five seconds of thought into your religion you might lose it. Remember any doubts you have about Christianity were planted in your mind by the devil to lead you away from God. They are definitely not your own rational thoughts!
