    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.

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

    So I can influence my skill just by the power of mind? Brain continue to self-sabotage.

    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.
