What is satan,
If not the very concept of accountability, itself?
It would seem that those who are opposed to satan are opposed to accountability - seeking to claim the mind of god as their own.
In essence, they systematically claim godmind in all of their dealings, while supporting the veracity (and therefore, the justice) of these claims on the presupposition of a necessarily true external force.
It is the same circular definition which serves as the root to all of mankind’s greatest failures.
It is to say :
“I must be good because I invoke the name of god, which, by definition, is the very concept of a necessary, predefined good”
“Therefore my will and subsequently willed agency must also be good”
“As such, I should (and should be allowed to) do what I want, because I am good and my will is the will of ultimate, predefined good”
On satan, they say :
“My sins and failures are not my own, but rather the result of an external rogue agent who has influence over me and others via an unjust extension”
Going one step further, we may say that those who then rally against works of satan in this world will fundamentally make the following statements by doing so :
“I will seek to punish the punisher, as I myself am an extension of the agency of god”
“As I enforce the will of god, so too, must I become punisher of all sin-source”
Thus, in a uniquely poetic way,
These minds take on the supposed role of
Satan, himself -
In the name of god and in direct opposition to their own self appointed roles :
