God is the dickhead that puts a dangerous tree in the garden despite knowing exactly what's going to happen. God is the asshole that wipes out everyone (even the animals) except one drunkard and his family because God apparently fucked up again. God is the one who creates a place of infinite punishment for finite crimes.
God is the real villain of the Bible.
And Satan is the hero that fought an omnipotent being knowing he would lose because he wanted freedom more than he wanted victory.
something about better to die on your feet than live on your knees?
that part from Good Omens S2 was amazing
Preach
like Tenent/Crowley said...
If you have access to BBC content (the broadcaster not the big people) then I would surely recommend viewing the whole series there!
Satan's the one who tempted Eve to eat the apple, though. Without him, that tree would have been left alone.
Wrong. It's not satan but the serpent. BUT even so the serpent is the one that tells the truth in the story.
God lies, saying Adam will die if he eats from the tree. The serpent says he'll gain knowledge of right and wrong. Again, God is always the asshole in the stories.
Nevermind the fact that he punishes his children for eating a fruit from the fucking tree he put in the middle of the garden and said DON'T TOUCH!
The whole story is just so stupid.
God cursed him to crawl on the ground or something. That's why snakes slither and don't got no feet.
So then I guess God was just being a dick pointing out flaws.
So why did the serpent do that?
Genesis never says that the serpent is Satan, just that it's a serpent.
Also, god created that serpent knowing full well it would tempt Eve and succeed.
Genesis only makes sense from a Gnostic point of view imo. Snek was good guy all along.
