I like him as a rebel angel.
He's a good antagonist, has a good, defiant character.

Mostly I just like imagery of him getting beat the fuck out though.

Same as Hades. Three brothers pick straws on what to rule over, one brother gets the heavens and sky, the other gets the ocean, both sweet as fuck, get to send bulls out of the water and rape everyone you want to all the time

The other get's Tartaros, some dark shithole where dead souls wander about.

Which do you prefer?

A rather less heroic Prometheus, if you mean Milton's Lucifer.

A boogeyman to be read onto a Roman emperor, if you mean the Beast from revelations.

God's professional tester of faith, basically an explanation for shitty things happening to us, if you mean what Satan originally was to the Jews.

Satan has never actually been to hell, but he is slowly falling there, and if he's going to be miserable in hell then he wants as many humans as possible to suffer as well

After the tribulation and the return of Christ is when Satan will be cast down into hell.

Satan is a pathetic loser. Has a lot of fancy rhetoric but gets his ass kicked every single time. For all Satan's pride and 'badassery' he gets his head caved in by a cherub during the War in Heaven. The Romantics were complete retards to admire him so much.

The Judeo-Christian God is a tyrannical demiurge who wanted to keep humanity captive and ignorant, Satan is a Prometheus figure, stealing the light of knowledge and giving it to the humans so they can discover the ultimate truth that is divine knowledge so that they may escape from the grasp of the demiurge and set their souls free from the material plane and transcend towards pure light.

You cannot know something without accepting a piece of it into yourself (your mind, to be specific). So by teaching us of what was outside the garden, for in the garden was everything good, we learned of the bad and it became a part of us and we became, not divine, but the flawed humans that we are now.

Knowledge was not a good, we would have been better w/o it.

Wrong. God made the world for Man to live in, and made Man soul and flesh so that he could partake of God's dual nature as spirit (by worshiping and loving) and as body (by creating and working the earth).

Read Hermes Trismegistus' speech to Asclepius sometime, pleb.

between Divine comedy and Paradise lost, which is what anyone who talks about satan will prob reference.

He was the fairest of all the angels in heaven before he rebelled.

He led the rebellion and all the other angels that followed his lead.

bc of this lead role and his position/ power he was punished most severely by god.

when he got to hell [or where he landed at the time] all the other rebel angels who followed him basiclly looked at him like 'da fuk we do now?'

and then satan was all like 'aite dig this, since we in a constant state of comic depression from having lost all grace, we gun do to humanity what god did to us. He all bout that good grace and charity shit, so we got to be about the exact opposite.'

and all the other rebel angels were like 'well fuck, might as well I guess'
Basically satan god punished for questioning God so he decided if hes gonna get punished for eternity for being a trouble maker he might as well be the biggest trouble maker possible.
