mankind is here. Satan uses disguises and devious ways to beguile people. He has again assumed the form of a serpent and is spreading his poison. What side would you choose- the devils or God's? Why?

"Gen 3:1¶Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
The serpent was not your natual entity. It spoke and was very intelligent. What is was for sure I am not exactly sure but the meaning of the word serpent also refers to dragon. In revelations the dragon is cast from heaven and as he falls to earth he is seeking to destroy Israels promise the messiah ("Jesus"-from the beginning of creation) at first (by way of mixing fallen angels with man "giants" but failing to do this in his rage seeks to devour the woman (Israel often under constant threat of atack but God will supernatualy protect Israel) and also fails and then seeks to destroy God people afterward (coming tribulation) seeing that he is unable to destroy israel. (Jesus Christ the Messiah is the one mentioned in Genesis who was the seed of the woman who would crush the serpents head) Satan knowing this was coming (from the garden of eden when God cursed him for fooling man kind) tried to stop it by poluting mankinds gene pool as the legends of zeuse and hercules come from. Gods on earth were the mix between extra-dimensional beings (fallen angels) and man. Jesus was also hybrid but of God and Man (virgin birth) hence he is called "The Son of God and The son of Man." The aliens we hear so much about (even military encounters) are likely the hybrid (fallen angel) race from that past time in the time of Noah. Revelations talks about the time before the return of Jesus that they would be like the days of Noah. Not that all those encounters are necessarily of the fallen angels but some may be natural or of God.
"Revelations 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
"Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man." But you have to read about the days of Noah to understand. However this passage tells about sudden destruction.
Satans army is not of this world but of an invisible nature. God is of a higher level in the dimensions that Satan however. (Omni present, beyond time/space) However satan recruits the minds of men and twists their thinking by introducint thoughts and getting them to entertain them as their own. Thoughts lead to habbits and actions. God sets us free from that controll and gives us true wisdom. (not just mathmaical laws but an intelligent conduct that applies to our spiritual nature [ethics not of this world and for us as God made us and forgiveness and hope.]) Jesus set us free from being separated from God by the serpents actions and our own.

Some forms of Christianity, especially those in the early church taught that Jesus told that the serpent in the garden was not the devil but God freeing Humans from being slaves to the Demiurge.
Because if you recall, the fruit contained the knowledge of good and evil, so that would mean Adam and eve didn't have free will.
So by eating from the fruit they became aware of right and wrong thus could think for themselves.
I choose God's side.

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.

Satan, Tests and Difficulties, Obstacles, Opportunities have the same word.
Satan is not outside of us, it is inside us as temptations which is caused by our Ego's rantings, influenced by Mind's vagaries. As Mind follows and runs behind five senses, then Ego gets lost in the materialistic world and causes unhappiness, guilt, anger, jealousy, greed, lust, immoral desire, etc.
I would choose God's as God is inside Devil too. God is in everything. Shivam is everywhere, Shivam is in Shakthi(In story format. . .The very wife he created from his left half).
Let there be more serpents, Satans, Poison, and devils. The persistent, patient one with Perspicacity will survive. Be Blessed.

Hail Satan...I would choose the Devil's side b'coz...
In this Kaliyouga - Out of all the people who opt to choose God's side, atleast 99.99% use God's name as a pseudo-shield to cover all their wrongdoinds, misgivings & darker-side. Atleast, those who praise the Devil in open are Honest & Brave enough to do so.
Moreover, God & Devil are part 'n' parcel of ourselves. Why fool the Self by negating the Devil & preaching about God???
Better to accept the Devil's apostle & face him with courage than to beg for God's help.
Remember - God helps only those who help themselves!!!

Yes! we should rebuke satan for he is a clear enemy to the mankind and we should not love our enemy. Why don't you read Quran? [Quran Ch 4 V 82. Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy. ]

If Satan was missing in the story then what enjoyment you have in it.
If there are no super antiheroes are not there then what is the value of superheros.
So to remember God (for a common man like me) I think a dark side is required.
Taking side is different thing altogether

LOL what question is this Aradhana? The devilish forces are always there, and they are more powerful but shortlived. The good energies look weak but are everlasting
when demonic forces try to overpower, Mother kali comes and finishes them off. This is what Durga Saptashati tells us

I remember I was at this laundry mat, and I had a heavy metal shirt on. Well, this weird bum walks up and says "THAT, is the ENEMY, of GOD!" drama city! Thought he was trying out for a Shakespearian play.
Then the owner came up to him and asked why his penis was hanging out his ripped pants...guy was a freak! Apparently God could not get him a $2 patch for his pants groin area.
Christianity is for delusional people who never grew up to be adults.
