Did you know that the God of the Bible is actually Satan?
The God of the Bible specifically says that he created evil and does evil. He says so himself. See for yourself. Evil isn't good and you would think that a Christian wouldn't worship someone that creates, says, and does evil, right? If you're a Christian, you might be saying this is outrageous. Crack open your Bible and confirm it for yourself:
God created evil. He is evil. He didn't have to. He didn't have to create darkness or evil, but he did. He said so himself. All of that pain, suffering, murder, cancer, etc... from him.
12 On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of
both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
"when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul..."
"And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his
javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand."
"Thus says the LORD, 'Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household;
I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and
he will lie with your wives in broad daylight."
"Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?"
In fact, God describes himself as Satan in the Bible.
This verse presents the most shocking revelation in the entire Bible. On the very last page, it reveals Jesus as the "bright and morning star". In other words, Lucifer = Satan!
In Isaiah, St. Jerome, translated the Hebrew "morning star" into the Latin term "Lucifer"
(light bearer), a name commonly ascribed to Satan by Christians, and represents the
fallen star, an ancient symbol for the fallen or evil one. The mourning star
actually appears as the planet Venus, the brightest "star" in the sky
(but the ancients did not know about planets). Venus always appears low on the horizon,
thus it looked like a fallen star (fallen angel) to the believers.
"AND Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."
"AND again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved
David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah."
In Mormon texts, Satan is Jesus's brother, who rebelled against Jehovah!
Why do I, as an Atheist, love Satan? There was this question on Reddit the other day, "Why do Atheists love Satan?" and I keep thinking about it. And because I wanted to write my thoughts somewhere, I hope it's ok to write them here. I'm pretty sure that Atheists who love Satan, love him for the same reasons like I do. So, for the argument's sake, pretending that the Bible is real, why do Atheists love Satan? Why do I love Satan? I have two main reasons.
Satan is a better person than God is in the Bible As an atheist who went to a religious school growing up, I've never gotten why people believed that the devil was the bad guy in the bible, while praising God. Satan never killed anybody in the Bible, whereas God killed almost every human on the planet because he believed that they were "Corrupt". He never slaughtered the innocent children of countless families just because their parents did something bad as God did in Egypt. He never encouraged two daughters to drug and rape their father like God did. He never manipulates a father into almost murdering his own son like God did. He never subjected his son to a brutal and torturous death like God did. He never openly encouraged slavery, bigotry and misogyny like God did When Satan tried to "Tempt" Jesus in the desert, to me it seems like an older sibling trying to warn their younger brother about their abusive father. If you believe that Satan was the snake that convinced Eve to eat the apple, that just sounds to me like he wanted Eve to recognise her own worth as a human being rather than just being a slave to the men in her life. Satan's rebellion against God seems to me to be a person who passionately believed in freedom and personal autonomy standing up to a corrupt tyrant. Stepping outside of the mythology and stepping into the real world now, countless genocides have been committed in Gods name, whereas none have been committed in Satan's. And the corruption of the church and all of the children sexually abused by the priests has all been allowed to happen in the name of God, not Satan Satan to me has always been a symbol of free will, striving for truth and standing up to corruption. Whereas on a closer inspection, God comes across as little more than a power mad and violent tyrant |
