Somebody tell me about Satan

Many times, right? I mean, I gave an extremely paraphrased version and also the word martyr was definitely not the right choice. I should have said that Jesus recognized his fate as a necessary part of God's plan. I suppose Jesus could have just given himself up like Luke to Vader and the Emperor, but still someone had to execute him and it seems weird to call that person evil when he's playing a necessary role in the plan to save humanity.

I suppose people have viewed it as a self-selection theory. Yes, someone had to kill Jesus. But in a world of good people and bad people, it would be the bad people who would jump at the chance and thus they reveal their evil even though they are doing what is necessary. Still, I find it odd and counter-intuitive.

Thanks for this reply.

I realized after reading your reply that I read your first post very incorrectly and now I see what you're saying. I'm not sure I agree, but I wouldn't argue the point. Anyway, thanks for such a solid reply.

Assuming we are talking about the same entity, there was a six season, 93 episode TV documentary--on Netflix--about Satan. Apparently Satan prefers to be called Lucifer. This documentary really portrayed him in a different light than the typical religious depictions. Seemed like a pretty chill guy, not really evil so much as mischievous. That said, he really had some "Daddy" issues that took him a long time to work through. In the end, all it took was the love of good woman for him to discover his true path/purpose.

Great series, though I stopped just after season 3.

There was another Satan series that only lasted for one season: 666 Park Avenue. It was really good. Wish it would have lasted.
 
Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
… But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

… You know sometimes, baby I'm so carefree
Oh, with a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
… But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

… If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's me one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
… Oh, baby, I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done
… 'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
… I try so hard so please don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, please
