I Hate Christianity

According to christianity, Satan was created as a perfect being and given a rather cushy number in heaven. He sacrificed all that to stand up against the oppressor ("god") to set us free. Such an entity is deserving of respect yet ungrateful christians hate Him.

That's not what I come away with.

His very job in heaven was to create a form of conflict. He was created to be "the opposer" and "the accuser." Opposed to man, not to God. As part of the grand design, the satan was there to be the enemy of mankind. He was a little too good at it. And for that he's accused of "jealousy" and "pride," and eventually kicked out of heaven.

Read the opening chapters of Job. Satan was just doing his job in that instance. I don't know if he was late for work or something; when he appears in heaven, God asks, "Where have you been?"

Other angels were cast out for loving humans too much, for taking human wives for themselves.
