I'll tell you hwat everytime I read the Bible I always root for this Lucifer fellow I mean his father basically stabbed him in the back and expected him to be okay with it, and all he's ever done to humans is given them a choice in life! And he's not a dickbag like God is throughout the Bible God tortures humans for what I'm guessing is S&G. While Satan just doesn't give a -blam!- about humans and only bringing God to justice for all that he's done.

In most of the stories, (including the [i]Adam and Eve[/i] story) he tells humans the truth: if you eat this apple, you will surely know the difference between right and wrong. He obviously wants to propel humanity, but this distorted view of Satan in Religion is ridiculous. In many ways, he's just like Prometheus, from Greek Mythology. Giving fire to humanity. Even the goat-headed look the Christians enforced on Satan, is based off of Pan, another Greek god (of the wilderness, if I'm correct.) I am in know way saying it's Christians fault. Their counterpart, "Satanists" are just as much idiotic. They believe Satan tutored Darwin, without Darwin knowing he was Satan, in the ways of Evolution, and that anyone who preaches it is considered "Holy." Either way, I don't believe any of it. But in the same way I support Prometheus, I support Satan.
