>uh yeah satan is actually the good guy and God isn’t realAre we being serious right now?
No way something by kirkman is edgy garbage for the sake of being edgy garbage??? I just cant believe it!
>>218973713>dude satan is just a guy who evolved underground and is incredibly weak >also souls are real and he can trap them in his crown if power
>>218973713Yea but when Dragonball Z did it all you chuds loved it
>>218973713Are we surprised to see that in this day and age? The enemy is always playing and mass media is his greatest toy.
>>218973713Dogshit writing even by comicbook standards
>>218973789Ohhhh it's payback for blackface in dbz i get it now. God leftys are so petty.
>>218973789But God at multiple tiers is portrayed well in dragon ball
>>218973826and>>218973912
>>218973912>God at multiple tiersWell then it’s not God, is it? Matter of fact, Daima retconned it to where the current DB iteration of “God” takes his orders from the king of demons, and only created the universe on his orders because the demon king wanted more territory.
OH NO IS THAT A CARTOON DEVIL HELP ME NIGGERMAN
Jesus is King and love each single one of (You) anons
can't handle the truke
>>218973912I'm talking about Mr. Satan, retard.
Seems like subversion and sarcasm are the only tools the modern writer has these days.
>>218973875>made up argument in head>screeches about itConservaniggers are so fucking retarded
>>218974572To be a chud is to in a constant state of seethe
>>218974227>it’s realwtf
>>218973713It's implied he's not good though, just that he's not a threat and he's protecting them from the big threat.
>>218974227Since when were you under the impression I consider everything anything after the end of the Buu Saga canon
>>218974378That’s just a guy whose name happens to be Mr. Satan. There is a literal Satan in the DB universe, retard. Or at least there was before Buu ate him.
>>218975397Since when did you think I cared about what some random anon considered to be canon? Toriyama worked on it, so word-of-god wins out.
>>218975281But Satan in Christianity is the biggest threat to humanity on every concievable level, so then he isn't really 'Satan' in anything but name only
>>218973912Zeno is a petty childish brat, and tori-bot is just a goofy author insert
>>218975801Close, and I see what you mean, but it kind of undermines man's agency to call Satan the greatest threat. Our tendency to sin, and our choices to sin unrepentantly, separating ourselves from God is the greatest threat. Satan plays off of that and tries to stoke that within us, but at the end of the day, its our choices that are the difference maker and the greatest threat.
>>218973713I kinda like how they potrayed him as impotent. It seemed kind of refreshing.
>>218973713They still show him as being cruel and sadistic.
>>218975959>but it kind of undermines man's agency to call Satan the greatest threat. Our tendency to sin, and our choices to sin unrepentantly, separating ourselves from God is the greatest threat.This is cope dude.
>>218976097It's taking the blame for our sinful nature, not passing the buck to the devil. How is that cope?
>>218973713Its just a character of what if John Constantine and Hellboy had a lovechild together.
>>218976146Right, the devil is weak and impotent, and his strength stems from his ability to manipulate. Human's sin comes from our susceptibility for temptation.
>>218975042god you retards that need to bring up DA JOOOOZ at every opportunity are so pathetic and retarded lmao
>>218973713Damien Darkblood is supposed to be a Batman level detective. Idk what they were thinking with this appearance.
>>218974414Bottom right works fine if I can join the faction and help them win, like the legion in FNV
>>218975959Satan is literally that thing which tempts you to sin. Or more specifically, lesser demons who he commands and controls. Satan only comes to directly tempt when you are approaching Saint-like levels, like Christ is tempted by Satan directly whereas lesser humans who he banishes devils from are tempted and controled by just that, lesser devils. Satan is literally who caused us to fall, he is absolutely our greatest threat to humanity. Sure, using our free will to commit sin is a threat, but this is just lacking faith. The greatest threat outside ourselves is still Satan.
Isn't hell supposed to be filled with demons? Why are there only like six demons?
>>218976371come back when you've stopped watching porn mr preacher
>>218976258Spot on. He has a lot to gain by convincing people he's more powerful than he is, so people blame him instead of taking accountability for themselves and accepting Christ's redemption and forgiveness. Blessings, brother.
>>218974227nigger heil hitler
>>218976371It's not so important to me that you fully accept my perspective when we're saying such similar things. You've got a good grasp on things, anon.
>>218974227That demon king is gone and was described as being nicer than his successors but you had to leave that out for your agenda.
>>218976467Unironically, God did help me stop watching porn. I used to use it multiple times a day. Now I go months without it. Likely gonna stop entirely because of how He changed me, it's really just lost its appeal. He can do that for you, too, and I hope you ask Him to.
>>218973713>satan is actually the good guy and God isn’t realI hate how these fucks use Christian canon but refuse to acknowledge Jesus Christ. If you're going to use Satan you're admitting God is real and Christ is King. Retards.
>>218976542Yeah I think we're basically saying the same thing but in different language.
>>218975801correct this is a fictional superhero cartoon
>>218975637in the french dub King Piccolo is called Satan Petit Cœur, or ~little-hearted Satan.
>>218977017If I write a piece of fiction with Zeus and Vishnu as characters does that mean I'm acknowledging them as "real?"
>>218977017they said they didn't found any proof of heaven, which is fitting, since they are demons, they have no place in there.
>>218977088Then they would just call him a demon, not Satan. Satan is a demon specific to Judeo-Christian theology. My belief is they call him Satan to distort the average ignorant viewers understanding of Satan as it relates to Judeo-Christianity. It's essentially propoganda.
>>218977130Zeus and Vishnu has specific lores and characteristics unique to their respective Pagan pantheons. So if you're going to name them that, you have to honor those characteristics and lores, or they aren't Zues or Vishnu, are they?
>>218977154Demons are fallen angels who fought a war in Heaven against God, lost, and were cast out. So yeah, Demons would absolutely know Heaven exists, since they fought a war in Heaven in an attempt to take it for themselves. This is basic Christian theology.
>>218977190So yes?
>>218974378Surely you are trolling else you actually might be retarded.
>>218977157>Then they would just call him a demon, not Satan. Satan is a demon specific to Judeo-Christian theology.that's modern lore, originally saṭan just meant adversary, it was a job/title, not the king of hell.
>>218977130I know you people are actual retards but this would be akin to adding Zeus to your canon but refusing to admit that Chronos exists.
>>218977235You watch too much Supernatural, buddy boy. And they ruined God by shoehorning him into an already kino original character. He was a profit who wrote Supernatural novels about Sam & Dean not knowing they were real. It was a pretty kino storyline.They did the same with the Prankster/Loki. They turned him into just another angel. Lame.
>>218977235where does the viltrumite empire fit into the bible?
>>218977157I don't really see as much different than the Robot Devil in Futurama but i respect your perspective
>>218977318But you understand what "fiction" is right?> adding Zeus to your canon but refusing to admit that Chronos exists.Unless you're specifically recounting Greek mythology, explain what's wrong with this
>>218977298While technically true, Satan has become synonymous with Lucifer, which was that fallen angels original name. But don't be disengenious, the average viewer is going to equate them Satan with Lucifer. They're one in the same for all intents and purposes, in the show he is portrayed as a demon ruler that Lucifer was.
>>218977348>viltrumite empireWithout spoilers is there any significance to the Leader of the Viltrimites back on Viltrim? I suspect he looks like a younger Nolan by design? Is it his first son? That's kinda like Jesus.
Is this thread ironic? It's a character in a cartoon named Satan. He barely resembles the Christian Satan, and it's not the real world so heaven is allowed to not be real. Why are Christians the whiniest group of people with a persecution complex? >>218977318No, it would be similar to adding a character named Zeus and not having another character named Chronos. Also the other retard said>If you're going to use Satan you're admitting God is real and Christ is KingWhich was what the initial response was directed at.
>>218977376Oh so you are retarded, then.What's the point of adding Zeus if you are not specifically recounting Greek mythology?
>>218977447No Christian is feeling 'persecuted', it seems to me any Christian in this thread is just making distinctions between theologic reality and fictional portrayls. I personally find it a little ironic a show written and produced by several atheists still can't quite help themselves and insert their religious fan fiction into everything they do. If God doesn't exist and all religions are fairy tales, they sure seem obsessed with them.
>>218977453You malding Christcucks just need to admit you're triggered by subversive media instead of pretending not to understand how fiction works.
>>218977453Because it's a fictional superhero show and they're allowed to name any character whatever they want without recounting thousands of years of religious lore. Are you being stupid on purpose? A character can come out and be named Thor if they want and they don't have to humor the rest of that lore if they don't want to.
>>218977453>What's the point of adding Zeus if you are not specifically recounting Greek mythology?Not him but I think the answer would be to appeal to something well known just to get views/attention instead of creating their own lore. It's lazy and surface level, really. At least I can respect someone like Tolkien or Lewis who create entirely new and original lores and pantheons of mythological diety.
>>218977447>christian*LARPers. They've been here since 2016, came as election tourists and never fucking left.
>>218977235Not really, demons aren't fallen angels. Fallen angels are forced to live in hell and can't interact with the mortal plane.Demons are the sons of The Watchers, a type of angel that God commanded to watch over humans. These angels felt lust for female humans and procreated with them, creating the nephilim who were giants.God cursed the nephilim so when they died, they were forced to remain on Earth in their spiritual form, tormenting humans for all of eternity. So demons = dead nephilim.
>>218977516>If God doesn't exist and all religions are fairy tales, they sure seem obsessed with them.They're also obsessed with capeshit, doesn't mean it's real. I don't even get your argument there. Religious lore is vast and filled with so many characters and settings any writer would be happy to pull from. Being atheist means they're not allowed to do that? Especially if they view it as just fictional.
>>218977447>It's a character in a cartoon named Satan. He barely resembles the Christian SatanWe call that laziness.
>>218977416>Is it his first son? That's kinda like Jesus.no.
>>218976146>How is that cope?because the fact you left your door unlocked can only make you a danger to yourself in a world where thieves exist. A sinful nature is like a white shirt. The fact that you're wearing a white shirt is not why the shirt gets dirty, the shirt gets dirty because we are cursed to crawl through a sewer smeared with Satan's shit.Pretending that a hacker with a perfect complete knowledge of your every system vulnerability, is actually weak, is cope. Satan is weak compared to God, not compared to Man. If Satan were actually weak, then salvation would not be through the grace of God alone. Literally anyone without the aid of God could just overpower Satan and tell him to fuck off, and avoid sin.
>>218977392it's a comicbook show, they are known to use real world religions and figures very loosely. i don't understand why people so butthurt about this, it's not like this is the first iteration of satan not being a total dick. and as i said before; them not knowing about heaven doesn't mean it doesn't exists. In supernatural, a world filled with monsters and literal demons, Dean was sent to hell and still refused to believe in God until Castiel proved he is an angel, and that show is glazed more on /tv/ than on tumblr.
>>218977624>equating capeshit with people's genuinely held religious beliefs>I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this?Are you genuinely too stupid to see how disingenuous you're being, or is it just fun trolling for you?
>>218977543>>218977587The only point of naming a character Zeus would be to reference Greek mythology.You are creating a false narrative with the sense that it's a fictional story:>It's just a character that happens to be called Zeus but shares all the traits of Zeus in the original mythosWhich would obviously arise questions as to who created Zeus.or>It's just a character that happens to be named Zeus but shares no resemblance to the mythological ZeusSo then you would have to pretend that it's an entirely different character who either only shares Zeus' name or shares every other characteristic aside from his origin story, which would mean that the writers are selectively omiting certain aspects of Zeus.
>>218977629Sure, you can argue that. It wasn't an interesting character anyway so I'd probably even agree with you.
>>218977599Demons are fallen angels. Hell is simply the absence of God, God in casting them out of Heaven actually gave them what they wanted: to rule without him. As for your Genesis references, there is much that can be said and theorized about that. It is largely understood to be possessed humans breeding with women that created 'ungodly' offspring in a spiritual sense, but still humans. Spirits can't breed with humans, since they have no bodies. Your interpretation and understanding is just wrong. But demons have always been able to tempt on earth in spiritual form since the fall of man. It has nothing to do with their supposed breeding with human forms, which is, again, impossible.
>>218977130>If I write a piece of fiction with Zeus and Vishnu as characters does that mean I'm acknowledging them as "real?"Are you really this retarded?
>>218977736I see what you're saying, I think, but you're kind of losing me with three separate analogies. It's a little confusing.
>>218977764You're just finding things to get triggered by now. My post was specifically highlighting >If God doesn't exist and all religions are fairy tales, they sure seem obsessed with them.
>>218977811>being this upset about fiction
>>218977539>just need to admit you're triggered by subversive mediaWhy are you phrasing that as if it's good to be subverted?
>>218977901What I'm stating is Christian theology, which to Christians is not fiction. As for the show, I've kind of fotgotten about it, i'm just arguing Christian theology with anons for fun at this point.
>>218973713this was a terrible episodedisrespecting sky daddy was the least of its problems
>>218977645Fair enough thx.It's funny to me now, knowing that they went from all the Viltrimites looking like Nolan to DEI'ing their entire ranks, when a white superhuman male army makes the perfect arch enemy.They coulda made all the Viltrimites MAGA and they blew it!
So I got about 2200 pages into the comic and i'm past where the show, maybe 1 or 2 seasons ahead. But I don't remember this Hell shit at all, but someone posted a panel with Volcanica so is this relevant later?
>>218977748>it's not like this is the first iteration of satan not being a total dick.>It's not like this is the first time I managed to fuck you in the ass, why are you still trying to fight me off?
>>218973713It's a capeshit cartoon. Grow up and watch something else.
>>218977770Yeah, the second one. Not sure why that's a hard concept for you to grasp. Makes me think you don't understand writing and taking creative liberties with fiction. The concept of Satan by the general public in Invincible is similar to our world based on Mark's reaction, but the reality of Satan is different in their world. It doesn't mean the "real" Satan and Jesus aren't real, we're just witnessing what Mark is witnessing. It's not that deep besides the writer wanted to play with the hell and Satan trope, but make it different. This is very normal in writing.
>>218978025The holocaust is fiction and Hitler did nothing wrong. Get over it Shlomo.
>>218977916Why is it bad to be subverted?
>>218977624Your life is vast and full of characters I can pull from. If I want to produce and market AI gay porn of you and your father, should I not be able to do that just because I'm not you? I'm just being creative.Or is that obviously not okay because it's disrespectful and over the line? Maybe doing the same kind of disrespect to religion is also a problem.
>>218977992there is some reason for that but i don't know how much you want to get spoiled (i know you said no spoilers but eeh, it's capeshit)
>>218978107>it's good for someone else to dictate and control your beliefs and understandings without thinking about itokay, now you're just trolling
>>218977916Just calling a spade a spade. I know what it is but I'm gonna vote with my wallet, not cry about it while disingenuously pretending not to understand artistic liberties.
>>218978074It's only normal among faggot subversives.>Hitler is different in this world.>I just want to play with mid twentieth century aesthetics and the Hitler trope, but make it different.>This is all very normal in writing, why are you so mad? :3
>>218978058do you go to marvel movie screenings to seethe about Thor and the other Norse/Greek gods being falsely represented?
>>218978107Stop sealioning, you faggot.
>>218978147if you base on your beliefs on capeshit cartoons, you better just do an hero.
>>218978193Wasn't JoJo Rabbit pretty well recieved? What a shit analogy.
>>218978189There's no such thing as "artistic liberties".There are only agendas and narrative control.
>>218978202>ancient gods nobody believes in anymore are equivalent to current religious beliefs held by billions worldwideYou're serious and that's sad.
bet picrel is giving you all an aneurysm
>>218978143OK. Don't spoil it thanks. I could tell it was supposed to be some big reveal, but I'll wait till they spoonfeed me in the show. There's like what, only 4 episodes left this season? I can do that on my head.I am looking forward to seeing the alternative universe Invincible Gang again. And hopefully not just a one off like these other recurring characters.
>>218978202The Thor movies largely respect the norse mythology of Thor, Loki, Odin, etc.
>>218978274>my cartoon is better than yours!!!!!! because le numbers!!!!!ok
>>218977823Reddit ass response. Formulate a rebuttal instead of asking gay, feminine rhetorical questions.
>>218978310i don't think they get there in this season, but also you should leave the thread. last general was filled up with comic spoilers for fun.
>>218978239>Wasn't JoJo Rabbit pretty well recieved? JoJo Rabbit?The movie where the main character interacts with a delusional children's fantasy version of Hitler as a coping mechanism to endure the collapse of the historical Nazi Germany where real world Hitler very much exists as a separate and real character? Are you stupid?No you're not stupid, you're just playing dumb like your kind always do when called out.
>>218978147I don't think you know what subversion means, then. You gotta gain knowledge outside of image boards, anon. >>218978212Feel free to make whatever your point is.
>>218978384Why do I need to form a rebuttal to a retard that's asking if the characters in his story become real aspects of his stories in the context of his story?
>>218978202Ill make a movie that subverts Judaism! >>218978239It was a way to enforce the modern mythology of ww2 and eternal victim hood of jews.
>>218977235>This is basic Christian theology.Yeah if you look at it through a Hollywood lens. There was no "War in Heaven." Angels were given a choice with full knowledge of what they were doing. Fr. Chad Ripperger, probably the most well known modern exorcist and demonologist, explains it pretty well. There is a reason why everyone goes to the Catholics when it comes to possession. https://youtu.be/t9MrhlqgWwg?si=VTr7KOFfiBVlyhUb
>>218978404yeah the only Hitlers who have ever been portrayed in media have been satirized, like in JoJo, The Producers, etc. We need an actual real Hitler bio pic desu.
>>218978441>Ill make a movie that subverts Judaism!based. i'll watch it.
>>218978439I know what subversion is. Subverting in media is portraying and naming something that which it is not, and conflating two ideas as one. It happens all the time in media, especially as it pertains to religion, specifically Christian religion as something it isn't.
>>218978387Alright cool. Maybe we'll meet again, someday.Also, I'll admit a filler episode is not the time to give your take on religion. But this thread needs to calm down. This show is just treading water and the fans are getting frustrated.
>>218978441It'll only get a limited release, but would be kino to see a Jew practicing good morals, refusing to engage in usury, working hard, teaching others. Probably have to end it with the Jews crucifying him or something.
>>218978135Are you attempting to convey personally attacked you feel whenever any character in your religious text is used in a way you don't like? I'd assume you're doing this in good faith and are trying to have me understand and feel empathy.I'm sorry if that's how this episode made you feel, anon. However, I hope you can understand that not everyone feels the same way you do about the same things, and policing how others use characters they genuinely don't believe exist is an unnecessary mental undertaking that will not end in happiness.If you want to make AI videos of me doing lewd things, I'd be very unhappy. But I'm not going to pretend it's the same as a religious character. Especially when the character isn't being depicted as a 1:1 lore accurate version of your text.
>>218978567kek
>>218973789Dragonball's universe literally has multiple gods and deities and implies humans are like a pinhead in terms of what's happening across existence.
>>218978517Glad you bothered to look it up. You can hopefully see now how your response is weird. No one is dictating what you should believe in or controlling you because they take a subversive approach to your religion. You can still keep on believing whatever you want.
>>218978445There was absolutely a war in Heaven. The Bible is ripe with instances of it, in both the old and new testaments."I saw Lucifer fall from Heaven like a flash of lightning""Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.""How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens;I will raise my throne above the stars of God;I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.[a]14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit."
>>218974414I think it's funny humans are still actively rallying behind and supporting >no just turn off your brain>there's no such thing as existentialism, all life experiences and viewpoints are only aligned with true when I think so, not otherwise.
>>218978674But anyone without knowledge of Christian Theology, which is the study of a lifetime, pertaining to the spirit, heart and mind, is going to just assume what the television told them about Heaven, Hell, Satan, and God is true. How do you not understand that? That is what subversion is.
>>218978693>"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."why does this read like an anime intro narration.
>>218978693Watch the video. The "war" isn't some battle lines drawn pitched battle to the death. The war is an internal struggle the fallen experienced and chose. Just spouting Bible verses as though they are face value is how we have so many retards who say shit like: "Duh dose dat bless Israel shall be blessed," while unironically referring to the secular State of Israel not the Spiritual Children of God. You won't win this. I am a former seminarian. I know more than you.
>>218978577I appreciate you genuinely understanding the point I was making and engaging with it in good faith. Yes, I mean when people's religious values are genuinely misused by those who don't believe them, it is insulting. Even moreso when it's done intentionally to subvert the things that that religion expresses. You're right that policing it would be difficult and outright impossible, but there's nothing wrong with calling out the insult for what it is. Again, I appreciate the good faith. I apologize if my example was over the line, but I wanted to convey the personal nature of an insult to someone's religious worldview as viscerally as possible.
Always a good time whenever some christfag is begging for blasphemy laws because some shitty cartoon offends him
>>218978779Well the Bible is the original, ultimate story of humanity. It's written on the hearts and minds of all people, whether they realize it or not. Every story then is a reflection of this original, ultimate story in some shape or form.
>>218973713>also, there's flying guys who can destroy planetsExplain why yours is LE BAD and mine is LE OK
>>218978779>why does this read like an anime intro narration.Because life and mankind's creations echo the cosmic truths found in scripture.
>>218978809No one is asking for that. We're saying this is shit and should be treated as such. Unlike you fags whose gods are niggers and troons we actually take it in stride when you losers constantly mock Christ.
>>218977190>>218977453You mean like how Marvel comics have Thor and Hercules in them but they're actually just superheroes from alternate universes instead of proper gods?
>>218978567No.Real kino would be a movie that explores the "blood libel myth", and tells a story where a morally neutral everyman secular Jewish person stumbles upon an ultra Orthodox cult that sacrifices Christian children in the basement beneath their Yeshiva in Brooklyn. You know. Like the standard Satanic cult movie template, but instead of being inspired by Christianity it's inspired by Judaism instead. You could even make it found footage if you want, have the protagonist Jewish documentarian get strangled to death by a golem in the end of the movie, or maybe go for a more subversive ending where the secular Jew eats the blood matzo and assimilates into their community like Midsommar.>durr I work totally watch that movie and you never will because it will never get made
>>218973713>Are we being serious right now?No. Do you see the superboy ripoff right there?
>>218978874>but they're actually just superheroes from alternate universes instead of proper gods?No I'm pretty sure they're proper gods m8. You never hear Thor say, ackshually I'm not a god, I'm just a really strong alien
>>218978794No, it was a literal spiritual war for control and power of Heaven. There is no Biblical basis for your claim that the war in heaven between Satan and his legion and the Angels was a "...war [as] an internal struggle the fallen experienced and chose". There is a basis for rebelling against God and wanting to usurp him, for Angels deciding to join Lucifers side, and fighting against other Angels, before being cast out from Heaven. Yes, since it took place in a spiritual realm, it is put in physical terms we can better understand. But there was a war, and the demons were cast out of Heaven. There is an entire Christian theologic tradition over multiple millenia to attest to this. >I am a former seminarian. I know more than you.So am I, I attended an Orthodox Christian seminary. Which one did you attend? A Catholic one?
>>218978857>we actually take it in stride when you losers constantly mock ChristThere's no need to lie here.
>>218978577>and policing how others use characters they genuinely don't believe exist is an unnecessary mental undertaking that will not end in happiness.I'm sure you and your buddies at Hollywood feel the exact same way about the holocaust.
>>218978912That movie wouldn't be very hard to condemn and destroy even if it was made.
>>218978674>No one is dictating what you should believe in or controlling you because they take a subversive approach to your religion. What absolutely preposterous and retarded thing to say.
>>218978779>>218978811>>218978842https://voca.ro/1407xnTimmpW
>>218979037Why condemn it?We're simply exploring things and exercising artistic expression anon. No one is dictating what you should believe in or controlling you because they take a subversive approach to your religion.
>>218979115I get that point. You're just gonna have a hard time making it in the public sphere when the entire media apparatus is turned on you.
>>218978811>bible>original
>>218978958>A Catholic one?Obviously. No I am not interested in rehashing the schism.>No, it was a literal spiritual war for control and power of HeavenA literal spiritual war? Okay. >is no Biblical basisYou guys also have sacred traditions. I don't believe you are an actual Orthobro. Not everything the Bible says is literal. >But there was a war, and the demons were cast out of HeavenWar in the broad sense perhaps, but God wasn't sitting around letting the Angles fight each other, nor would he have allowed a loss. They were given a choice with full knowledge of the consequences and some still chose to rebel. God then gave Michael the Authority to Cast them Out. >There is a basis for rebelling against God and wanting to usurp him, for Angels deciding to join Lucifers side, and fighting against other Angels, before being cast out from Heaven.Do you know what made Satan rebel? It wasn't because he "wanted to be God." That idea paints Satan as a retard because as an Angel he would absolutely know he couldn't usurp God's Authority. He rebelled because God gave humanity free will and Angels not. He rebelled because God gave him the choice, basically "do what you were created for or languish without Me." The fallen were given one instance of free will and 1/3 chose to go their own way.
>>218978074>The concept of Satan is different in their world!The concept of Satan in their world only exists because done in comparison to ours. You have to be disingeneous to actually claim that the depiction of Satan is purely a creative choice>>218978874Even in Marvel capeshit both Thor and Hercules respect the mythos and properly nod to their origin stories being sons of Odin and Zeus.
>>218979115>No one is dictating what you should believe inThis is what you don't understand still. I'm amazed you still don't understand it. Lets take a non religious example: Mozart in Amadeus is depicted as a womanizer who made fart and shit jokes who never had to practice and just perfectly had all the music come right out of his head the first time. He is not depicted as religous. However, we have the benefit of every letter he every wrote in his life to build an idea of his character. If you read them, you discover quite quickly he was extremely religious, practiced his religion regularly, practiced and revised his musical works constantly (he was not a 'natural'), sought feedback from other musicians on his work when revising them, and far from being a womanizer, was extremely faithful to his wife who was NOT faithful to him: in 3 seperate instances he condemns her for being unfaithful to him. The only relatively true part of the film, is he did have something of a crude/blue sense of humor.If you had no knowledge of who Mozart was, or had never taken any time to do research on him, which 99% of people do not, they are going to assume the Mozart in Amadeus was the real man, when he was basically portrayed in that film as the opposite of who he really was. THAT is subversion: it dictates beliefs on something you don't know anything about. How can you not see that? This happens all the time with religion.
>>218979533Well, as a person that is well versed in Luciferian Gnosticism I know perfectly why the media tries to portray Satan in a good light (pun intended).
What was said in the episode?
>>218973713Nobody says God isn't real. Just themst they don't know. They don't know about Aliens either. Besides it's explained they're from the fifth age and containing second age creatures. The don't elaborate on the first or third age.
>>218979408>Obviously. No I am not interested in rehashing the schism.Me neither.>You guys also have sacred traditions. I don't believe you are an actual Orthobro. why's that?>Not everything the Bible says is literal.I didn't say everything in the bible is literal. If you really want to 'go there', everything in the bible has infinite meaning on infinite levels. >Do you know what made Satan rebel? It wasn't because he "wanted to be God." That idea paints Satan as a retard because as an Angel he would absolutely know he couldn't usurp God's Authority.He did want to become God. According to Orthodox tradition, Lucifer, which means 'light bearer', in this sense, for all of Heaven, saw the light in himself, which was Gods light, and wanted it to be his without God. He wanted to ascend the throne 'above God'. In our 'fall' we mirror this desire, isntead of being what God created us to be. I've already quoted this for you, it's in scripture. It's so obviously and clearly laid out too, not like something in Ezekiel or other parts of Revelation which are extremely abstract and not literal. I thought this was something both Catholics and Orthodox agreed on, but apparently not. >The fallen were given one instance of free will and 1/3 chose to go their own way.This as I understand is true to Orthodox understanding and I agree with for the most part. But it doesn't fully explain Lucifers desire to rise above God. To have such a desire is to have free will. This is where Orthodox at least lean more into aschetics and Holy Men in Orhtodox monastic settings for explanation which I know is one part where Orthodox and Catholics differ greatly.
>>218980019I think the takeaway that we can agree with is that Satan is an asshole and no one should be turning him into "le misunderstood tragic good guy."
>>218973713This really got bible thumpers panties in a bunch. He's not bible Satan if it makes you feel better.
>>218980171Yes, I agree. If Satan could, he would destroy all of creation in an instant. In fact, that's what he's plotting to do every second of every day for eternity.
>>218980171The reason why Satan is being pushed as such is that in occult societies, Satan/Lucifer represents the Promethean archetype. They believe that Satan wants to rebel agains tthe Demiurge and open up our eyes towards the true god, the Monad.Of course this is a gross oversimplification of what they believe, but you get the idea.
>>218979924the plot is>hell is a place called underworld or smt deep inside earth>demons are beings from the previous era of earth>they are down there to keep the even worse monsters from an even previous era to flood the earth>they did this to save the planet and they also fucking love torturing things so it's a win-win for them>their leader is Satan, but he said he is not evil like in the bible (even tho he clearly closes the episode with plans for invading the surface)>Mark asks a demon if there is a heaven, they said they have no proof so farthe last two bit is what made christcucks super upset for some reason.
>>218979533>If you had no knowledge of who Mozart was, or had never taken any time to do research on him, which 99% of people do not, they are going to assume the Mozart in Amadeus was the real man, when he was basically portrayed in that film as the opposite of who he really was. THAT is subversion: it dictates beliefs on something you don't know anything about. How can you not see that? This happens all the time with religion.I think you missed my point anon.
>>218980329>for some reason.Still pretending you don't understand or know anything in current year plus +11?
>>218980442it's a comic show bro why are so fucking upset about a cartoon. get a life.
>>218980411No, your point is that false portrayls don't dictate beliefs or understandings, and I believe I have adequately refuted your point with my Mozart example from AMADEUS.
>>218980492>I don't understand why...>it's not happening...>it's not even that bad...>why are you even upset...>it's actually a good thing...Fucking snore. So tiresome.
>>218980329>the last two bit is what made christcucks super upset for some reason.In case you haven't been paying attention, this thread has turned more into a debate about false portrayls using namesakes generally than any specific gripes about this episodes portrayl of Satan specifically.
>>218980277>the boogeyman gun get me
>>218980329>their leader is Satan, but he said he is not evil like in the bible (even tho he clearly closes the episode with plans for invading the surface)Sounds like something Satan would say to trick someone desu. But wouldn’t be surprised if it sticks with Satan is le good because it subverts expectations
>>218980713Yeah if you don't believe in Christianity than yes Satan is just a fairy tale or ghost story like 'the boogeyman'.
>>218980838>gets ethered by based christian chads>seethes and posts wojacksSatan just isn't sending his best these days.
>>218980629anon asked about the episode, and the thread started with people being upset with the portrayal of satan/christian mythology.
>>218980893It started that way but the last 100 replies have kind of gone another direction
>>218980937Yes, we get it. You're a smug retard. Sorry your parents loved you enough to take you to church when you were a kid and you haven't stopped crying about it since.
>>218981008yeah, but he was still asking about the episode. pretty clear he didn't read the thread, because the line was quoted multiple times
>>218980494>No, your point is that false portrayls don't dictate beliefs or understandingsNo my point was the opposite of that. I was being sarcastic. Obviously the whole point of subversive entertainment is to attack and undermine the target of your subversion.
>>218981089I’m the anon that asked the question. I read the thread and actually liked reading some of the autistic theological debate but I wanted to know what exactly happened in the episode, which I wasn’t finding. I might’ve missed it though.
>>218980937What's funny is knowing that, though your hands mock today, your knee will bend, and your tongue will confess that Christ is king tomorrow.
>>218981263that's gay, dude
>>218973789Dragon Ball legit has magic in it.
>>218981169oh, might've been in the previous thread. i remember they had the same autistic argument about this yesterday.
>>218981263>the things I fantasize about in the shower WILL come true one day when we're both dead
>>218981494This but unironically
There is no afterlife. Ive been dead and it was just the warm soothing darkness and fading into nothing. There are souls and something you could call magic though. I read the cia documents and it mirrors older books I managed to find.
>>218981494I'm almost sorry to take away your ignorance plea. But I'm not.
>>218981033>smugTard is seething because the thread points out that the show has a false portrayal of Satan because the executive producer can't stop seething about Christ. Every time he gets his hands on something, Seth Rogan projects his pure hatred against Christianity.It's kind of funny how jews have been seething about Jesus for 2 millennia.
>>218981978When you're misaligned with the truth, the truth makes you rage. It's an ontological characteristic of Jews and those who will not be redeemed.
>>218978998You think I'm a Jewish Hollywood producer? Odd cope.>>218978797Nah I get it, sometimes you have use an over the top example to help convey a point.
>>218981263I had a guy IRL one day tell me that I'll die a catholic. He was so sure that "such a good guy" like me must come to Christ one day. I think Christians just have a weird coping mechanism that isn't based in reality.
>>218982417I was an avowed Satanist, far more annoying and militant than the atheists ITT. After Christ works in your life, you see that the things He says are true and you believe all of His promises. One of those is that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess.
>>218976266Good goy
>>218982532The funny thing is that even Satanists consider atheists as nothing more than useful idiots.
>>218983793There's no real difference. Everyone worships something. Whether it's Satan, their own looks, their sexuality, their intellect, or money, it really doesn't make a difference. Might as well be a Satanist if you're an athiest. But things get better when you turn that worship to where it's meant to go. I pray everyone ITT finds that out.
>>218978674Such a weird concession to admit to subversive media existing but then pretend like the subversive nature doesn't matter.
>>218984812...Nice try satanist.
>>218984854I don't see where I denied subversive media existed. I said something isn't bad just because it's subversive. If you actually knew what subversion was, you'd see how it's a pillar for a lot of great stories and characters in history. Seriously, I think you're just talking about something you have no idea about.
>>218982532A satanist that actually worships Satan is just an edgy Christian. I don't know what that has to do with my post.
>>218985026A satanist worships himself, doing what Satan did and trying to elevate himself above God. It's more an atheist mentality than a religious one. A luciferian worships the devil. If you don't know what that has to do with your post, you're dumb.
>>218984909?
>>218973789stop being racist
>>218985121Sorry this is upsetting you so much, Christian. You like to use the word "worship" very liberally to fit whatever narrative you want to push. A modern Satanist advocates for individualism and autonomy. They're not worshipping self to any degree you do your deity. That's not an inherently religious concept whatsoever and is a concept people, religious or otherwise, can abide by. I'll ask again - what does that have to do with my post? Try not to pop a blood vessel as you struggle to respond.
>>218973713why are you such an annoying faggot, op?
>>218978779Because Michael is THE original gangsta
>>218985393Anon, I was one of those Satanists, you're really not breaking new ground telling me what they do and don't do. What it has to do with your post is that if someone like me can be saved, you can, too. I'm sorry, I thought that was going to be obvious, but I must've given you a bit too much credit. My bad.
>>218984985>I said something isn't bad just because it's subversiveSorry, I should specify morally subversive. And then disregard anything you say because we clearly have different morals. Why not have Mark rape some kids next episode, would be soo subversive.
It's not really Satan. Christcucks are always so easily offended that this is why they do it.
>>218973789Dragonball is an ode to Eastern spirituality, chiefly Buddhism. This was just a cheap r/atheist tier spiel. Not the same.
So God created the Devil?or is he the Devil or better yes.The Devil just works for God. He's all powerful isn't he?Isn't that what Jews believe? The devil is just a position doing his job.The more you think about Christianity, especially old testament, the less sense it makes.
>>218985883I think you're having a hard time following a simple discussion, so I'll spell it out for you. You and your satanism do not have anything to do with me. Re-read my initial post if you're still confused. You were an edgy Christian, glad you're through with that phase and best of luck overcoming this performative stage.
>>218986148>why would God allow the devil to exist?Why would a gardener let a snake live in his garden, anon?
>>218986217He wouldn't >>218985948
>>218985948>Why not have Mark rape some kids next episode, would be soo subversiveYeah it would. It would also come out of nowhere and be bad character writing. What's your point?
>>218986266No? Not even to keep the rabbit population under control and keep his plants intact? I think he might.
>>218986216>You and your satanism do not have anything to do with meThat's where you're wrong, friend. You can reject what I'm saying to you, but that doesn't stop what I'm saying from being true. You can make your accusations at me, but it's just a reflection of your own disquiet. I know because I've been there. I don't hold any hate against you for it.
>christcucks seething over superhero cartoon while their israel allies eat and rape childrenGrim
>>218986508No, he wouldn't. If he has the power to manipulate the rabbit population without introducing a potentially dangerous threat, he would just do that.
This one's for the goys
>>218986704You're free to believe whatever helps you feel better, anon.
>>218986833>t. Anon knows how God thinks, but doesn't understand His respect for free willDunning-Kruger is a hell of a thing
>>218987267What does my post have to do with free will?
>>218973713It's capeshit made by kikes, what the fuck were you expecting?
>>218987305You don't know that, but you know God wouldn't allow the devil to exist. Sheesh.
>>218988220You could just answer the question. What did my post have to do with free will?>but you know God wouldn't allow the devil to existNo I don't.
I saw that train scene and something about authors using the death of innocents makes me hate a work

hell is real and we're living in it.
