[Blasphemous trope] Satan is hot

[u/no-Pachy-BADLAD]

Don't watch these at Sunday School

1) While a more sympathetic example than the below, Lucifer's tirle character still retains the CW bait (yes I know it's a Fox/Netflix show) crowd as he's busy solving crimes.

2) Mystery of the Kingdom of God was a 2021 Christian kids film that would've fallen into obscurity beyond fudnamentalist audiences if it wasn't for folks picking up on the Tumblr sexyman vibes of the film's devil.

3) The CEO of Hell Lucifer (or 'Lucy') is an intimidating persona also reflecting the creator's preference for women in business suits.

4) Le génie du mal ('The Spirit of Evil', sculpture on the right) was a sculpture by Guillame Geefs in 1848, meant to replace the sculpture on the left by his brother Joseph, criticised for its distracting beauty and 'unhealthy allure'. He didn't do a good job (or did a VERY good one) taking that into account.

That's not at all blasphemous. In fact as an angel, and the incarnation of lust, I'd assume real Satan would be about the sexiest thing ever.

[u/Madhighlander1 → u/Cephalstasis]

Satan is the incarnation of Wrath.

[u/Cephalstasis → u/Madhighlander1]

You're kidding right? Do you think Christian theology is actually based on Helluvaboss?

Who tempted Eve in the garden of Eden?

[u/Madhighlander1 → u/Cephalstasis]

The Serpent, which in the original biblical account was neither Satan nor Lucifer.

[u/Cephalstasis → u/Madhighlander1]

So revelations is incorrect then.

You absolutetly fascinate me lol.

[u/Cephalstasis → u/Madhighlander1]

"And the great dragon was cast out — that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world. He was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." -Revelations 12:9

Dude this has gotta be the funniest thing I've ever seen on reddit. A dude is citing helluva boss to argue Biblical theology lmao.

[u/Madhighlander1 → u/Cephalstasis]

I don't recall hearing about Eve in the Garden of Eden in Revelations. Isn't that the complete opposite side of the Bible, chronologically?

[u/Cephalstasis → u/Madhighlander1]

Okay seriously are you baiting me? Are you trying that argue that in Christian theology, the book of Revelations confuses two seperate entities. Is your argument that God forgot?

Nowhere does the Bible ever distinguish Satan and the serpent as sperate beings. So when the Bible later says "the ancient serpent, aka Satan or the devil" it means theyre the same entity dumbass lmao.

[u/Madhighlander1 → u/Cephalstasis]

Also, again, you're the one who brought up Helluva Boss. I'm citing actual biblical scholarship.

[u/Cephalstasis → u/Madhighlander1]

You haven't cited shit, I'm just assuming youre going off Helluva boss logic because that's the only thing that says "satan is the incarnation of wrath and not lust".

[u/Madhighlander1 → u/Cephalstasis]

Also, do you assume an element of Christian theology is automatically wrong just because it's referenced in Helluva Boss? They don't exactly keep to strict Biblical canon, but one of the things they do get right are the identities of the demons representing the Seven Deadly Sins.
