The Absurdity Of Belief In Satan PDF Print E-mail
By Rowland Adewumi

It is difficult to understand how rational and otherwise intelligent human beings can become so irrational and spiritually blind as to believe there is man called Mr. Satan the devil, or devil the Satan, such as most religion teaches us to believe. I am having serious problem with Mr. Satan- identification! Since I was a young boy, my mother use to tell me Mr. Satan is God's enemy (and ours too!), he’s the “old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). He is the “father of lies” and causes me to believe the lie rather than the truth (or lie). He deceived Adam and Eve and caused them to mistrust the word and world of God, and instead to believe his own lying promises that they would be like God (or like him?). All this assumptions makes one assume that Mr. Satan might just after all be nothing but a myth and an allegory, developed to undermine God’s creation of heaven and earth. If not, why the overemphasises, and with all the prayers of the world, it might be a good idea to refocus prayers to Mr. Satan to repent, and maybe the world will be a better place. Why not, if he existed?

Sincerely, have anyone wondered this might just be a mere allegory, fictions, calculated attempt to foully convey any thing bad? A case of good God, ought to have the opposite? In a reverse application, Darwin did remove the whole idea of God as the Creator of organisms from the spheres of rational discussion, and pointed out that no supernatural designer was needed. Since natural reactions could account for any known form of life, there was no room for any supernatural agency in its evolution. Many, over the years have view that as the height of irrationality, however, it’s time we need the moral courage and the intellectual honesty to seek real scientific proof for the theory of Mr. Satan. It’s time we need abandon the spiritual significance of Mr. Satan and find a solution for the permanent memory of the universe with Mr. Satan, which in my opinion is fraud. The deception have existed for age, generation to generation are tormented and implanted about the idea of Mr. Satan, deceived, and they in turn still deceiving others; they continue to present their unscientific philosophy as fact and absolute truth.

In all its history, human race have offered no rational explanation for the unitary existence of Mr. Satan, it only an escape method and a device to becloud the issue and to impress or depress the ignorant? Religious facts aside, if the universe is 6,000 years or 6 billion years ago, Mr. Satan required an origin explanation, the “facts” have failed to produce that explanation. If there is God (good), then there is Satan (bad) is not an acceptable explanation for such a generational curse and cause. The greatest tragedy is of many theologians and spokesmen for God, who are ignorant and have yielded to this deception and even distort the already unclear theme into a meaningless poetry or allegory and hurry to tell you about Mr. Satan. I will prefer we talk about God than Mr. Satan. The theory of Satan is a hoax of the originator and a delusion of the ignorant, and a blasphemy against humanity. It degrades mentally and robs us of dignity and honour to serve God. It destroys morality and denies man’s responsibility to God. This is the problem with Africa from inception, and it all boils down to religion; religion that Karl Max said “is opium to the masses”. The first serious discussions is that many races have suffered from borrowed culture; borrow history written by man, for example, the two main religion obliterating Africa. African traditional religions have existed before the birth of Christ, where men endowed with powers like other biblical prophets lived on high moral. However, the foreign bible religion silenced our religion and stops us from discovery, simply because it weren’t written down. Why the slavery in the name of Christianity, and the introduction of Mr. Satan? Today, African’s has left their fundamental problem, to face the issues of Satan (I cast and bind) creating problem for brothers and sisters, father and mother. Worst off is that Africans’ know more about Mr. Satan than the White men that brought the issue. Beware! “Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith” (1 Peter 5:8, 9), and taken together, Mr. Satan has indeed devoured Africa! That is not funny!

I think you should explore the absurdity of God next, afterall his existence and belief is closely tied to that of satan. Are we too scared to offend the wise white men and the ancestors who indoctrinated us to such ridiculous beliefs
