  • This is how it feels like to not be American and seeing decisions like this. They affect the whole Internet since so much stuff relies on US Internet infrastructure, yet you can only watch as the citizens of Burgerland drive the 'net into the ground.

  • Yahweh is not Dionysus. No clue how you thought of that.

    There's not multiple devil characters so much as there is one character that changes over time as people's beliefs evolved.

    Satan as portrayed in the Tanakh/OT is basically the prosecutor of Yahweh's court, as explained by other dudes here. By the time the NT was written, Zoroastrian influence resulted in him becoming an independent and malicious figure.

    The Book of Revelations is the youngest canonical book in the Bible. By the time it was written, stuff like the War in Heaven started being believed, and Satan really took on the role as the prince of evil.

    Identification with the snake of Eden didn't begin until much later.
