Midwittery at its finest.

 

Satan, translated litterally, means "adversary." The theological construct of satan is that which is adversarial to the divine. Different theologies manifest this different ways, but the 'abrahamic' variation is particularly interesting because of the idea of a fallen angel who rebelled against God.

 

Personally, I take the more Promethean view of things wherein we are intended to benefit ourselves. If we take the Eden story on its face, we can judge between good and evil and, in the words of adam's god: "have become like us." Whatever the 'true divine' id amounts to an indestructible concept. To invoke the 'forgotten' roots of christianity, "God is in his kingdom." Ketter is in Malkuth. Malkuth is the Kingdom - that which is created. When Jesus says "seek first the Kingdom" - he is saying to pay attention to reality as God is in Reality. This is also significant when reviewing claims of making someone or something into a kingdom or, as also symbolized, a bride. Malkuth is also the bride - or princess, debatably.

 

The somewhat ironic part of this is that Wicca and Witchcraft are a more accurate depiction of the theological perspective of the biblical times than the Bible.

The question isn't whether or not satan exists. That is as obvious as evil.

The question is whether or not the god at the center of your worship/rebellion can lose. If it can lose, it isn't god. Why, then, would you worship or hold sacred that which can lose and why would you rebel against something you can't possibly hope to overcome?

 

Through this, the false gods and misguided rebels fall away to reveal the true adversary of all things. Which is the real thing - the mathematically conceptual circle - or the real world which eventually deviates from the idea of a circle to discrete elements? Is God in his Kingdom, or is there a kingdom that need be made?

 

Personally, I beware those who insist the world has no reason or purpose behind its mechanisms. Not that we shouldn't interact with the world and adjust it as we see fit, but that nothing in this world is without a wisdom behind its mechanisms and processes. God, for me, is in his kingdom. If god is in his kingdom, then what does that make our minds?

This is a critical point of philosophy present in Taoism and that has been deliberately removed from Christianity.
