    False prophet? He seems more like the epitome of Satan. Except without the intelligence or logic.

      Satan gave humans knowledge, while God punished all of humanity for attaining it. Satan wants you to love yourself and do the things that make you happy. God wants you to become an ascetic and live in subjugation to his desires.

      Sounds more like the epitome of Yahweh than Satan.

        Well I’m not religious and to me all of it is nonsense, so there’s no actual god or satan or jesus. But to me, Satan would be the one who keeps you FROM knowledge and understanding, and the one who fills the world with misinformation.

        Any god worth being called a “god” would want you to love yourself and do the things that make you happy. And that is not trump or his followers. They DO want you to live in subjugation to their desires. Call it by whatever name, it is inhumane and to me, it’s insane to want trump back in public office.

          The post above you was taking about the biblical Satan (for as much as there is any biblical consensus). Lucifer literally means light bringer, he brought enlightenment to humans and they were eternally punished for it.

            Such a sad and disgusting concept, that humans should ever be punished for having gained enlightenment. Another reason I could never accept such horrifying ideas, what sort of god would allow that to be the case. That’s terrible.
