Question 95

Opposites

There is an opposite to everything Including religion.
The opposite of god in christianity is satan, one is good and one is bad.

I want to know what the names are and what the "satan" looks like in the rest of the religions.

So, Can you tell me the names and the characteristics of the rest of the religions "bad men" ?
(add picture if available please)

The oldest recorded version of the Christian Satan (or Lucifer) is the Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu and he has many of the characteristics that were later adopted by Christians for their own devil. The word Satan actually means liar or opposer and that is the role of Angra Mainyu who is the evil opposer of the good spirit Ohrmuzd. Angra Mainyu is the supreme ruler of darkness and death. There is another name for Angra Mainyu and it is the middle Persian name of Ahriman

The current appearance of Satan takes a lot of cues from Zoroastranism, which itself lent Christianity much more(which also took cues from previous religions, ad infinitum).

The primary 'evil' being in Zoroastranism is one Angra Mainyu, also referred to as Ahriman (no, really). Generally depicted with red skin, a malformed body, 'bat-like' wings, and prominent horns, many theologists believe Ahriman was at least the physical inspiration for Christianity's Satan. Here is an image:

Let me go ahead and give mankind a little head's up so we can finally get this "evolution" thing moving ...
God and Satan are merely two varying aspects of the same Being. Opposites are merely an illusion of the real world of matter, and it doesn't actually exist.
Once we Know, and can fully accept the Truth of who we really are, then this hideous game of Opposites will end.
Collectively we are not yet ready to accept that #1 we are not as Good and potentially Perfect as we would like to think, and #2 we are every bit as Bad and Cruel as we have demonstrated ourselves to potentially Be.
In the End there is no Perfection ... only the Truth

The only difference between a "God" and a "Demon" is who claimed the title first, as far as I'm concerned.
