My favorite is Bog king from Strange Magic - Has a song talking about how evil he is. But all he does is prevent the spread of dangerous mind control magic, and quarantine people under the effects of said magic. Yes he greatly annoys people doing so, but honestly? If I get hit by a love potion, please quarantine me.
Literally Satan.
Among his greatest sins: trying to be a bro and let Adam and Eve know that they were naked in some perv’s garden
Edit: come to think of it, it’s not entirely accurate, as I don’t think Satan ever claims to be evil. But there’s a lot of anti-Satan propaganda in the Bible.
TV show Lucifer is a fun watch. The Devil gets tired of running Hell and decides to relocate to LA.
I love Lucifer. Every episode is exactly the same and it’s amazing.
The show is loosely based on a standalone Sandman spinoff comic that I think is quite good.
I think you would really enjoy reading paradise lost. OK, maybe you wouldn’t enjoy reading it because it’s written in late 15th century iambic pentameter, and the anachronistic vocabulary makes it a bit of a slog— but it’s an incredible (apocryphal, but what about Satan isn’t?) story about how Lucifer became Satan.
Just make sure to get an annotated copy so you can understand what the hell is going on.
Is it ever stated that the serpent is actually Satan?
Not explicitly. The book of Enoch (non-canon) claims it was Azazel, other sources claim Samael or even Lilith. Now if you want to take a completely secular view it’s important to note that Satan as we think of him now is a Christian concept and doesn’t exist in the Torah or in classical Judaism, but was simply a term meaning “accuser” or “tempter” that wasn’t a person or individual but more of a general concept of sin or temptation that prevented someone from doing the will of god
Satan is referred to as a serpent a couple times in the bible.
I haven’t read the Hebrew version, so maybe that telling says it?
Ð notion of Satan as an antagonistic force is not entirely in line wið ð actual þeology.
For example, he’s not ð snake. Ðat was a revision introduced in paradise lost, which along wið ð divine comedy are more or less biblical fan cannon.
In actual þeology, ð devil is more or less God’s right hand overseeing ð meeting out of afterlife justice. IIRC he’s even sought after for council by God or at least perspective for oðer characters speaking wið god.
Job is basically two work colleagues holding a wager as a tool for god to illustrate ð message ðat good deeds must be done for ðeir own sake, and not for ð sense ðat doing ð right þing will lead inherently to a better life.
Satan is literally ðere to remind people ðat ð world being unfair is actually good news, because it means ðat being down on your luck doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.
Oh mate we don’t use that letter anymore.
I do, so bugger off if ðat’s all you’re here to talk about.
He’s not an idiot he’s just stupid. Fr fcks sk stp.
