>the illiterate morons show up
In Mark Twain's book, 'Satan' is an angel from Heaven who talks to the boys, but is so inhuman and indifferent that he comes off as psychotic. His name is Satan because that's just his name, same as other Angels.
In the book, he says his name is Satan like his uncle. So the reader doesn't know if he's telling the truth or lying. Mark Twain never finished this book, which is why it ended in a sort of fever dream. Like the ending of Evangelion
>he says his name is Satan like his uncle. So the reader doesn't know if he's telling the truth or lying
Angels don't reproduce so that's obviously a lie

It's a literal joke made by famous humourist Mark Twain, based on the contention (still popular) that the angel named 'Satan' in the Book of Job isn't actually Satan, but another angel also called Satan.

that point is still in contention? It IS a different angel
Kawouro from Evangelion was based on Satan. Also like Mr Manhattan, all three of these characters have been alive for so long that, as it's written in the book, our human existence is like an ants life to an elephant. He'll help only if it's on his way
It was his uncle, unless we read different versions
>2022 >people STILL believe "god" and "satan" are supposed to be literal anthropomorphized persons and not metaphorical representations of the dualistic principle of the universe
What if satan was actually sticking up for humanity because God is pretty damn mean to us and like an older brother confronting an abusive father, God threw him in the basement and told everyone he's the bad guy?
This shit is so fricking boring why do you gays pretend to be depressed when you watch this sissy fest? The only redeeming thing about the show is the girl with the red spandex
It's supposed to be a deconstruction of the mecha genre. The first/second generation Gundam pilots were all alpha chads in their respective series that never felt doubt or self conscious. Instead they thought, why not have a beta b***h that's likely a homosexual too be the gundam pilot. NGE - not even once lmao
>The first/second generation Gundam pilots were all alpha chads in their respective series that never felt doubt or self conscious.
That’s not true at all. Watch Gundam. Eva isn’t a deconstruction. It’s the culmination of the mecha genre.
The culmination of the mecha genre is a protagonist that utterly collapses in his introductory heroic moment, is mostly stripped of agency throughout the acts of the story that ultimately lead to his definitive failure and emasculation because the creator was clinically depressed and clearly romanticized toxic conspiracy theories that he endlessly referenced.
Only an idiot would think it wasn't an attempt at deconstructing the cliches of the genre.
>a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell—mouths mercy and invented hell—mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him!

Christianity is just a badly written dogma.
It failed to account for its hypocrisies because it was written by a committee and retconned and bleached of any real applicable philosophy.
The Greek mythology is far more tangible. The world is crazy, and so the gods must also be crazy. It's a perfect explanation. Zeus, our unwanted creator, chests and lies and steals, even to his loved ones. It explains his almost outright caustic existence he's given us.
Trad larpers lean on Christianity in a very dishonest way. They know it's bad but they argue anyway.
Time to doff your trilby, make sure you have the newest amazing atheist video downloaded, and slink back to whatever subr*ddit or troony discord you crawled here from.
It’s so cringe when you see all these regurgitated takes from pseuds like stephen fry presented as someone’s actual opinion, as if they read. You’ve just copied this take word for word, you don’t actually have a unique opinion because you don’t read any of the shit you claim to. You are a midwit.
Did anyone here watch this movie as a kid? I had it on VHS. I remember being creeped out by it but not so much this scene. It was Mark Twain's evil twin that spooked me. And I remember the joke where god in paradise says to Adam "for you" and Adam hold a banana like a phone.
I watched it constantly.
I found the Mysterious Stranger stuff fascinating, largely because I think it portrays an existentialist's view of an uncaring and amoral universe, rather than any conventional idea of cosmic evil.
I mean, despite his name, the Mysterious Stranger is clearly God. He creates but is infinitely alien and ambivalent to his creation.
angsty teen that got kicked out of dad's house

what does this mean

>he says his name is Satan like his uncle. So the reader doesn't know if he's telling the truth or lying

He says that 'Satan' is just a common angel name, like 'John'
Why would an angel be named adversary?

too based for YHWH
>shall i show (You) life that never dies?
He wanted to be like his dad
he the devil honey

thats Prometheus, not Satan
>durr I know more about the Bibleverse than you
Wow. What a pathetic response
>what if evil was really good
bruh
and Kaworu are two interpretations of the same character
frick off troony

best depiction of Satan in film.

What a reddit take
Ok
>Christianity is just a badly written dogma.
t. learned everything he knows about christianity from his fedora youtubers
Time to doff your trilby, make sure you have the newest amazing atheist video downloaded, and slink back to whatever subr*ddit or troony discord you crawled here from.
Is that the only retort you have to someone criticizing christianity or any of the semitic religions? Buzzword-laden memes from 2008?
>troony discord
Ironic, considering christcuckery has become the official religion of LGBTQ+

he’s still meant to be bad in this and twisting the truth with rhetoric but midwits literally fall for it
Satanic Pride (or neoliberalism/Scientism).
Me playing Roller Coaster Tycoon
somebody explain this shit to me. what show was this and what was satan portrayed like that
Did anyone here watch this movie as a kid? I had it on VHS. I remember being creeped out by it but not so much this scene. It was Mark Twain's evil twin that spooked me. And I remember the joke where god in paradise says to Adam "for you" and Adam hold a banana like a phone.
Here's the scene:
PEAK childhood trauma
Based and blackpilled. Quite frankly this might be one of not the best depiction of the devil ever because of its ambiguity.
I watched it constantly.
I found the Mysterious Stranger stuff fascinating, largely because I think it portrays an existentialist's view of an uncaring and amoral universe, rather than any conventional idea of cosmic evil.

They showed it on the disney channel in the mid-90s, before disney removed all third party content
Mark Twain was a psychotic leftoid who supported Christians being murdered in China by the Boxers.
he was evil and just a wannabe & necessary illusion though i dont think those kids killed satan. hope they did. this movie is cool
He was just bustin their balls a little, he wasn't outta line
daddy issues
Satan only observed in that scene, the humans turned on each other entirely on their own.
They weren't humans, they were homunculi. Soon we will be bringing them back, with robots
he splatted 2 and an innocent cow and then caused a storm and an earthquake that killed the rest of them
He was a super high guy who was delusional.
