I found your comment interesting. Throughout the literary age there have been distinctions drawn between the two opposing parrallels , good and evil. The side of good is traditionaly assumed to be God, whilst the side of evil is his arch-oppositum, Satan. <br><br>In many great works the author has endevoured to express this one certainty through black and white distinction. However, the author often lends a pity to the character of satan, often exploiting a weakness or an overlooked compassion.<br><br>The authors of such works have been God fearing men, and have strived to incarnate their ideals in solid line characterisations. C S Lewis took this to an extreme in the Lion Witch & Wardrobe saga, a series which in my opinion forms a modern translation to the base teaching of christianity, the bible.<br><br>But are they dissolusioned with perfect dimensia? Do they need a 'sting in the tail' - a hero, depicted thus in a less then perfect sight? <br><br>The fault with perfection is the lack of enthusiasm that one has over any possible improvement, as none can be made!<br><br>However, you will find that not only god fearing men express themselves on paper with parrallels of dominian talk. <br><br>Therefore, it is prudent to assume that the debasist assumption of man is to explore what lies beyond the physical, be it Good or Evil.<br><br>So, is the satan-carnation merely a projection of an enthused mind? I personally cannot believe that Satan can have any other mask thatn pure deciet and evil. Forget pity or exhonourating the damned, Satan is Satan!<br><br>I would be interested in hearing your comments<br><br>Paul.
