To: God; Re: Sathan

Post by Verb of Nothing »

Dear God,

I read everywhere how you love us, how you wish the best for everyone of us, and, most of all, how you want the evil to stay away from us.

But thus I ask you: why did you create Satan? According to what people say, he is the responsible for all the "evil" that is here.

Ok, let's assume he really slighted you, he really wanted to be like you, if not more than you. But than, couldn't you eliminate him?

Couldn't you move him apart, so that he would not still be here to pester us and pester you? If you would have done this, you wouldn't be forced to keep him in hell!

Ok, I've understood, you didn't want to do anything bad to one of your creatures.

But isn't it worst making him suffer for the eternity like you're doing now? I mean, you know he is never, never, never, going to convert himself. And you also know that, at the contrary, he can turn a lot of people into a sathanist, into someone who doesn't believe in you anymore but believes in him! And I guess you don't want this, right?

So no one can talk about freedom of will or such things.

Who did create the evil, who did create what's bad for us and for you? You! And who is perpetuating it? You!

Are you a masochist?

Answer as soon as you can, please.

The only person I'd blame is my father.

But I don't, it would be a silly way to fatigue myself.

Who the heck is Sathan? :thinking:

Is this another forest dweller?

I should strive to do even worst.

By the way marks shouldn't be given with letters. An F will never be as terrible as a 3.

God created everything.

And that's pretty much the point: if he created everything, he also created the evil.

Actually Satan was a concept borrowed from the Mesopotamians. It was a concept created to try to explain the evil in the world or as Harold Kushner wrote "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People".

Job didn't have any more luck either. God simply refused to answer his question. But then that is only a spectacular piece of ancient poetic literature written for that purpose but failed.

S**t happens.

Shalom
