The Abrahamaic god is a wargod and god of destruction. It’s based on the gods of the Pantheon the people in the Levant worshipped before monotheism. And every god in that Pantheon has something to do with war, death or destruction.

Also, "Satan" as we know him is a fairly recent invention. Originally there were multiple "Satans" as the word itself means "the accuser" or "the adversary". The serpent in the Adam and Eve story is never said to be Lucifer or even a specific being. That's a retcon.

The notion that Lucifer as mentioned in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 is somehow a satan or even the Satan is also a later interpolation that's highly questionable.

Yeah, iirc wasn't the first Lucifer just a Babylonian king who was prophesied to fall from grace?

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

and if the serpent was satan how can he be resigned to hell, and also cursed to crawl limbless on the earth for all time?

The comment I also came here to make.

Yahweh thrives on death, suffering, and destruction. There's a whole book that explains it without being shy about it.

I mean, Christianity is literally a poorly plagiarized version of Paganism.
