this is probably the most thought provoking thing Ive read in a youtube comment section in a long time Satan is just a story, like all stories from our religious ancestors, with drama but meaning and moral lessons nevertheless, Satan or better yet Lucifer questioned this undoubtable overly favored God, the story shows us that the most powerful character (being God) isnt as divine as claimed in the previous stories, in my opinion is the concept Satan or Lucifer a genius addition to the stories, the church misinterpretated it and took sides, the characters Lucifer and Jesus are of equal importance and value, I think that he who created them (another unknown writer adding a moral story to our collection) intended way more sympathy for Lucifer when he fell and a more questioning image of God. Religion for me is collections of stories with morals, morals that are the bricks to a healthy stable thriving society, obviously in thousands of years people will abuse these stories, that should encourage you even more to learn about them and to >detach< them from those vicious people. Anyone who claims that Jesus was evil in those stories, should stay away from me and my family, no joking about that! Jesus in those stories does not equal the vatican, simple equation, yet our superintellectual atheist friends fail to understand it over and over again. We need morals, we believe as we think, thats an inevitable cognitive process, religion is merely syncing and archiving those morals in stories, redefining those morals in different stories should be encouraged >but< we should always acknowledge the stories from the past (thus the ones with Jesus in them) to our own legacy. -Michiel Kerremans found it on this video https://youtube/watch?v=vVkDrIacHJM
