I’ve been wondering something for a while, and didn’t think it would fit into any other existing thread, so I thought a new one was in order.
Anyway, I’m wondering what those of us who believe in God think about Satan. I’m particularly interested in what the Jews on the board think about him, if anything at all.
My personal beliefs are that he (Satan) is out to destroy all humanity. The only good human, is a dead human to Satan. He’s got his minions, and they have power to wreak havoc on our lives, if we allow aren’t careful. I also think it’s fair to blame some of the bad things that happen in your life on Satan. I’m not talking crazy things, but let’s say a relative is involved in a freak car accident and dies. I think it’s not too far fetched that the devil could have influenced it in some way.
So, what are your thoughts on Satan, demons, and their attributes?
P.S. This is pretty much just a poll. I would’ve put it in MPSIMS, but I figure an argument could flare up whenever I’m around. I’m just curious as to what you Straight Dopers think.
