Devil takes the hindmost
January 25, 2012 – 3:33 pmSo thinking about all of the evils of the world. Well, not the regular evils like greed and violence, rather the ones that bother the christians: homosexuality, drugs, disobedience, personal liberty, logical thought, equality, self-expression, learning about the natural world and just speaking truthfully in general…
Well, it seems to me that they normally blame all of those horrid abominations on the macinations of that satan figure of theirs (the devil, demons, servants of, worshippers of… Whatever).
But what I don’t get is that guy has only been around for what 2,000-2,500 years? So what about all those millennia of humanity before god, jesus, satan, etc, showed up? Was that stuff not happenning then? Was it happening but of its own accord, only later to be deemed bad after jehovah and his cronies showed up? Or did those myriad evildoing pre-abraham spirits all just retire when satan showed up and hand him the reins (and the credit)? Hmmm…
