Bugs Bunny is mischievous, but not malevolent. Hence my preference for the yin yang representation over God and Lucifer.
Satan being malevolent is propaganda

God made hell
Satan just wasnt trying to suck up to him
John Daly - 5 PGA tour wins, 2 Major championships, over 10,000 packs of cigarettes smoked
Henry Kissinger (please separate the art from the artist mkay?) -Near singlehandedly popularized soccer in the U.S.
John Daly underachieved given his talent but he overachieved given his work ethic

God defines your morality for you
Satan challenges you with the freedom of choice
This is why God punished Satan
This is why God punished those that sin
God sends you to hell for embracing freedom and not accepting him as your master

I've always looked at it like this:
God is supposedly the creator of all, the uncaused cause. Most people look at that in reference to the physical universe, but it would also apply to concepts. If it didn't, there would have to be concepts that "supersede" God, leading to an infinite regression. These concepts include things like good and evil, sin and judgement, euphoria and suffering, and even the idea of "free will".
Taking that into consideration, an uncomfortable question presents itself: Why would God create concepts that brought suffering to conscious beings?
Thomas Aquinas tries to square this by saying the negative concepts are really just the lack of the good, meaning God didn't really create them, but that never really resonated for me.

thats awesome.
all the books too. quran, tanakh.
lots of the same stories but its all great stuff.
something i enjoy about theology is it tempers people who are rabid, blind believers because it breaks down how the stories were collected, put together, how there are duplicates stories in the bible. the motivation for putting certain stories from other religions in there. the historical evidence for this, the lack of it for that.
but then it also makes atheists have more respect for religion and a better undertsanding of how the world operates, both historically and in the modern day because of how important religion is to culture.
one of the most underrated areas of study period
yuh
realll

yup yup yup
I'm absolutely fascinated with religion and everything that comes along with it
The archaeology, sociology, the "lore", all of it
It's just daunting because there's a lifetimes worth of study material for every sect of every religion, but I try to get what I can out of all of them. I tend to dive deepest into Christianity because that's my comfort zone, but I've dipped my toes into Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.
i fw black sabbath ok....
