What can we say about Biblical depictions of Satan/Devil?
- The bible depicts Satan to be a tempter. The devil test the followers of Christ in many stories in the bible.
What is interesting or special about Milton's depiction of Satan?
- Milton has given the Devil more personality than any other writer during that period. Milton's devil seems confused and spiteful. He has more feelings and seems to be more human than angelic.
What purpose does Satan serve?
- I believe that Satan serves as a tester. I think he is only here to test our faith and weed out who is weaker in faith than others. He is here to show us our true selves.
Do you believe in Satan? If yes, how would you describe Satan? If no, why do you think people do believe in Satan?
- I do believe in Satan, because I believe in God. I would describe Satan to be a vengeful entity that only wants to cause harm to man kind only to try and hurt God. Satan is a like a child that did not get his way and is now throwing a serious temper tantrum.
Do we need a Satan in order to believe in God?
- I don't think so, because even before there was a thought of a Satan, people still believed in a higher power. If you look at the Greeks they would be a prime example.
