Isn't Satan the good guy?
I heard my friends kid talking about it they must of seen something online but if he supposedly punishes bad people shouldn't he be seen as good? A savior? Or is hell just a party...

I don't believe in him i was just thinking why do they think hes bad
@Carla_Jones oh. social norms. I think the historical analysis of community religious texts is fascinating. you take those little communities around judea prior to the first council at nicea. they developed different christian books based on the rules pertinent to their area and when these were brought forth at that first Nicean meeting the diversity was extreme. it just shows that the mythos they develop differentiates quickly if the communities aren't tightly bound. thats where all the little BS rules from Leviticus come from compered to other books of their buy-bull as well as the differing stories comparing the book of enoch to other texts that Anathasius accepted as canon for the orthodoxy. some communities didnt even have a satan nor a hell and heaven. I like yuval harari's approach to the topic of religion as a necessity for human identification for groups.
I believe George W Bush would say "Satan is good for us. He does the work God doesn't want to".
