Jester of chaos wrote: Satan in some texts isn't even anything more than an angel assigned to tempt man following what I've read before and most stories don't envolve him or indicates his influence only that there is evil which man can choose to do it or good since it paints humanity as a creature of free will. Overall Satan isn't PE especially if we go by actual texts where he does things rarely. Is he a villain in modern texts and in the general public opinion? Yes however the modern perception goes on things not even always stated or confirmed on the Bible ex: I recall nothing in the book actually painting him as a fallen angel or even his origin only that he tempts mans faith. In any case the I feel if anything this type of subject should be dealt with after this threads purpose is served and on another form.

Just real quick... what? What version of the Bible are you reading? I think that description is about the furthest thing from what Satan is. Satan isn't just assigned to tempt man; and he is literally responsible for all sin and evil. Every sin that happens is his influence. And even if you wanted to take that out, he does MORE than enough. I think the Pure Evil/Complete Monster trope is based on the actions of Satan.

But you're right, we can discuss it on another thread later.
