Wholesome Satan. What a guy.

I like that it still keeps with the idea of the devil being a liar

[-] Zyansheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Liar liar pants on fire, hit the ball into the wire!

I know. He even takes defeat graciously, like the time where he lost a fiddle contest. He didn't claim the contest was rigged or anything, he just accepted defeat.

Wondering, is there a community for wholesome memes?

At the end of the day, if an omnipotent, omniscient God created Satan knowing what satan would become, everything Satan does is on God, even moreso than Satan, as the only one who had a choice was God.

Few if any parents of serial killers would have chosen to have a child if they knew in advance that their child would get arrested for skinning people alive and wearing their faces like a mask.

The Judeo-Christian religions really didn't give a shit about making their universe's lore coherent. If god is all powerful and all knowing, they're also all responsible for their shitty creations and their shitty creation's actions.

Maybe they should have written God as a powerful fuckup who could create anything but didn't know everything, it would be a lot more believable given the state of things.

It's sort of like how Batman is able to do what he does because he's 100% committed to training and preparing for his Batmanning, but whenever someone questions whether Batmanning is actually the most effective way to fight crime then somehow he's also able to devote half his time to philantrophic efforts, because any kind of logic or storytelling coherence must always be secondary to making sure that Batman is right and perfect in everything he does.

Kinda like the Greek gods. They're far more believable because life sucking doesn't contradict anything that was claimed about them. They're by and large assholes just like humans.

Would you say that any religion made sure their lore is coherent? To the best of my knowledge, coherence is completely beside the point in religions, nobody cares.

I would say the religions that lean heavily into the very real cyclical nature of the natural world did a much better job. I'm talking about religions like Wicca/Paganism. They are not true, mind you, but they at least attributed traits they observed in nature when extrapolating the traits and dictates of their imaginary friends.

Rather than having a god that defies nature with miracles, those religions made nature itself the manifestation of their worship. It makes them feel less ridiculous because instead of saying an invisible but vaguely bipedal, humanoid god just willed the trees into existence, nature based religions claim that the tree you can see and touch and climb is just an outgrowth of their God Gaia, as are we, aspects of larger divine organism.

At least that kind of belief capable of more congruence with the surrounding world than the Judeo-Christian religions, even though its just as false.

I was expecting the final box to say "You never had a soul to begin with!"

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

[-] vintprox@geddit.social 5 points 11 months ago

This is so OOC. Make more.

The contract said that after she discovered that the talent was in her the whole time, THEN he gets her soul.

Thanks a lot, Santa!

She/He accepts us for who we are and doesn't demand that we be some ideal version of ourselves that will never live up to some impossible set of requirements.
