WHO IS THE DEVIL? do you really know the devil?
Here’s the deal…I’m not someone who really believes in God…actually
I’m struggling with accepting the fact that there is a God at all.
Agnostic…i think thats the word…..having said that…i was reading
Khalil Gibran and came across a story titled ‘Satan’. What I came
across was this ironic story about Satan and his relationship with the
‘messenger of God on earth-the priest’. So when Father Samaan came
across Satan lying in a gutter asking for help..the Father obviously
refused..(duh!)..here is where the ironical part comes…
--->this is what Satan said to make the Father help him:
In every city under the sun my name was the axis of the educational circle
of religion, arts and philosophy. Had it not been for me, no temples
would have been built, no towers or palaces would have been erected. I
am the courage that creates resolution in man…I am the source that
provokes originality of thought…I am the hand that moves man’s
hand…I am Satan everlasting
I am the builder of convents and
monasteries upon the foundation of fear. I build wine shops and wicked
housed upon the foundations of lust and self-gratification. If I cease
to exist, fear and enjoyment will be abolished from the world, and
through their disappearance, desires and hopes will cease to exist in
the human heart. Life will become empty and cold, like a harp with
broken wings. I am Satan everlasting.
You see the irony? Priests and other people who claim to be spreading the message
of ‘god’ tells everyone about evil and how one should remove evil…but
the very reason why people believe is god is because evil exits..it
evil itself ceases to exist..why would one believe in god..or good?
