Just recently the Devil was removed as a CM by Robinsonbecky for reasons being that he only does things on God's word. I argued this, by replying: "No I'm pretty sure he does things because he wants to. Yes God permitted him to (Job), but he wouldn't have done so unless he wanted to do so.  Besides half the stuff he doesn't do because God gave him permission, but because he's evil. He wants to prove to god he can break others and cause mayhem. He does things on his own choice". And then Jester of Chaos responded by saying pretty much that yes, the Devil does things on his own choice, but all this happens due to God's incompetence, I think. Sorry, I respect Jester, but I really don't get his argument. I mean, last time i checked, God didn't permit the devil to tempt Adam and Eve to eat the fruit. He actually tried to avoid it. He doesn't want to control the free will of others,so the Devil takes advantage of Him. Thatt's the right way to phrase it. TAKING ADVANTAGE! And why does it matter if a villain is doing things supposedly on someone's permission? if it's their choice and they do it for their own selfish goals, and what not, why the heck should that matter? I don't think I'll get allot of support when i say that I'm a believer. I'm sure you'll argue that that's the only reason I'm arguing, and to a degree, it is. I wouldn't so strongly believe he wasn't a CM, unless I was one. But I guess I can't argue with what the majority agrees with. But what's your take on that?
