Is the Christian God and Devil story kind of like the Scientist that created Frankenstein?

Question

Didn't Frankenstein kill his creator in the end? (I can't remember the movie so well but anyway,) In this tale, god creates this Monster and obviously did a poor job at keeping it happy, so it decides to attack its own creator. I find this pretty funny, but why would an omniscient god create a monster if he knows he won't get allong with it? Is the universe as a whole actually just a dog chasing it's own tale?

Ok, sorry, Frnakenstein is the Scientist. Anyway, i have read the bible and the whole Angel that rebel against his creator is vary vague, in fact theres really nothing about a rebeling angel in the old testament and in Judaism they don't believe it (they have the original scriptures, i trust there version of the mythology to be more authentic. All humans play god, if you create a piece of art, your playing god. If you create a new invention, your playing god, if you judge anothers actions, your playing god, i don't see what makes scientists any more wrong than someone that's a 'judge' for living. Playing god is part of being human. Besides, the gods are dead, long live the gods.

Answer 1

The SCIENTIST was Frankenstein. The monster had no name. Just for that, I'll assume that you don't know the rest of what you're talking about, either.

Answer 2

Have you actually read the Bible or Frankenstein? The story goes like this:
God created Lucifer. God and Lucifer were best friends and got along splendedly. God favored Lucifer above all others. Then one day, God decided to create man. Since God treasured mankind above all of the other creatures, that put Lucifer #2 behind us. This made him jealous and a rebellion started in Heaven. God cast Lucifer into the pits of hell because he rebelled against his maker.

Now for Frankenstein:
Dr. Frankenstein decides that he wants to bring a guy back from the dead. Unfortunately, he doesn't really consider the consequences before he acts. He aquires body parts from a bunch of bodies until he has enough to bring his creation to life. Once his creation wakes up, the effects of being raised from the dead cause him to go crazy and he ends up causing a bunch of trouble.

If you ask me, God is Dr. Frankenstein and we are the monster he created. The devil is more like Egor trying to talk God out of making the monster, only he gets pissed off and leaves to start his own lab instead of sticking around to find out what happens.

Answer 3

Think of it this way, if you push a button on one of those talking Barbie dolls, and it says, "I love you." How meaningful is that? If love or goodness is something programmed into you, something you have no choice about, is it really love? Real love must involve a choice. Like humans, angels were created with freewill, which was abused by some of the earliest angels. Lucifer, one of the grandest and most important angels, decided to rebel against God. But if God is God, couldn't he have known what would happen? Couldn't he have anticipated the consequences of giving people and angels free choice? No doubt he did, but let me ask you a question: When you start a relationship, whether it's a friendship or a relationship that might possibly lead to falling in love, can you foresee the possibility that the other person may sometime disappoint you or hurt you or even walk away from you completely? So why do you ever make friends or start relationships? I guess it's worth the risk. Having good friends, and all the wonderful things about being in love, that more than makes up the risk of getting hurt. I think it's the same with God. He knew we'd rebel against him, but he also knew many people would choose to follow him. It must be worth it to him. The assumption that Satan sends people to hell is mistaken. God does not bilk folks into hell either. Hell is a punishment for having broken God's standards and is a natural consequence of choosing to be separate from God. Hell is God's fall-back position. Hell is something God was forced to make because people and angels choose to rebel against him and turn against what was best for them and the purpose for which they were created. You know, when people founded the United States, they didn't start out by creating jails. They would have much rather had a society without jails. But they were forced to create them because people would not cooperate. The same is true for hell.

Answer 4

There is no logical or reasoned answer to this. It is bizarre though. It is hard to look at he world and not conclude that, if the a God created all this, then the only thing he is supreme at is f^cking up. The Christian God does not appear to be any smarter, competent, or successful than Bush. He also seems to share the same low opinion Bush has of people not as rich and powerful as himself. How could a supreme being (whether a God or leader of a country) do things that only injure the people they are responsible for? Why would either not do everything they could to improve the health, well-being, and lifestyles of those they have power over? Instead, they seem more inclined to punish and torture people who are guilty only of being alive. There is little doubt that America has only been harmed by both Bush and the Christian God, and would be better off if we withdrew all the power and authority we have awarded to them.

Answer 5

"The Devil" (original name Lucifer or "Light Carrier") was actually created originally as one of the top-tiered angels in God's army. As Lucifer continued his duties for God, he in essence became jealous and felt he could run the universe much better than God could. He revolted, and lost. For this, he was cast into hell where it is said he laments over his war and wants another chance to take over.

Frankenstein was a scientist motivated by the death of close ones to create endless life. He found this spark, but found that for going into this area he tampered with the powers of God. The life he'd given to his monster was miserable, and brought further death and destruction to Frankenstein's life teaching him an ultimate lesson about what is science and what is God.

Although the comparison you pose is interesting, Frankenstein works more as an omage to God and His abilities than a satire of universal existence.

Answer 6

it's kind of the story of God and the devil. In the story Victor creates a creature that in the beginning was good until Victor abandoned the creature, God didn't abandon the devil, The creature kills almost everybody Victor loves, God loves everybody, the devil tries to seek and devour people, the monster wanted to hurt Victor, the devil wants to hurt God by hurting us. At the end the monster says he is going to go kill himself in a burning pile or pyre and burn his dead master. God lives forever!!!!

Answer 7

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.
