devil for real?
My view of the faith does not put much emphasis on Satan. I noticed reading these forums, he is alive and well in his sparkly red outfit, horns and a serpent's tail with a trident.
I've read enough theology that the idea of evil is the issue rather than
this fallen schmuck. With all due respect this idea of hell with devils concerns many people and the Brute is a part of everyday life.
I know of his various roles throughout scripture. Where does this core belief come from. What theologian gave him the authority to scare people into a pattern of behaviour.
It was my belief that he really gained his notoriety in the Middle Ages. The clergy needed a worse place to be then on this earth, life was so horrible at that time. Dante had Lucifer in circle 9 of the Inferno with three heads the great betrayers-Judas, Cassius and Brutus. How many think he is a being that is a daily threat? What role does he play? What experiences have people had with this Miscreant?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
