You’re welcome to disagree. But if you read Paradise Lost or do a little critical analysis and compare the themes of “The serpent in the Garden” with stories like Prometheus (and other fallen angel motifs), it’s pretty easy to see Lucifer/Satan as a sympathetic character, IMHO.
But then I’ll always tend to lean toward the side advocating for more knowledge over the side advocating for limiting knowledge.
That’s why I demand all discussions about any mythology to take my personal fictions into account instead of the most common historical versions.
No, I haven’t shared them with anyone, and they’re clearly marked “Dreams I had Once on The Astral Plane” but if you disagree with my points that they’re relevant to a general understanding of the myths it makes you an idiot theist.
Well, considering it’s a retelling of canonical works and is one of the most important literary works in the English language, I thought it relevant. After all, there’s nothing in Paradise Lost that contradicts canon, and Milton’s philosophy and theology are fairly well regarded if heterodox.
Its been eight hours, you have four upvotes, and this comment still reads like word salad to me. I’m assuming im missing something and this is a reference or an in-joke isnt it?
It was a mediocre joke.
OP posted here something that was originally on r/fit.
Another commenter suggested they cross-post somewhere else.
I just suggested that if you have a post about fit, when you cross-post it it becomes about cross-fit.
You didn’t miss anything interesting ;)
Was actually deciding between posting here or posting on chaoticgood.
Personally, I think Satan (well, Lucifer) is the perfect embodiment of chaotic good
We’ll have to disagree on agreeing.

Well known canonical work, Paradise Lost
Canonicity doesn’t matter when the characters are mythical to begin with.

Why didn’t you just cross post to both? Fits well in both.
Crosspost for crossfit?
I know where the exit is, don’t worry.
