Hello everyone. Being a curious person of all things archana, Personally I consider myself an agnostic theist, but I had a few questions about the nature of Satan and Satanism, and the references to him in Judeo-Christianity.
I recall from my reading that Satan was the Sumerian God, EA. Though the Christian faith portrays him as the "fallen" archangel Lucifer. I'm really confused how a Sumerian God can be an archangel to the Christian God and be under his power at any point in time. It leads me to believe that somewhere during the ages the Christians appropriated the story of EA (Enki/Melek Ta'us) and turned him into the antagonist to their religion by making him a deity who fell from grace. Could someone explain which is it? I am pretty certain that the Sumerian Gods existed prior to the Judeo-Christian Jehova. How is it that Jehova has any power at all if he/she/it is a falsehood, or is it by falsehood you mean that the God exists but doesn't actually have the power and authority that it asserts to possess?
The other thing I wonder is that if the Christian God is false (not arguing here if it's true or not), then how has he/she/it have any power over a true God? On the templeofzeus.org site it mentions that Hell is dimly lit because the Jehova had stolen a lot of Hell's power/energy. Also, could someone explain why the preferred color of Satan and Hell is black when he was portrayed as the "Light Bringer"? One would think that a God that epitomizes truth would be bathed in and dwell in light, because light unveils everything that is obscured, hidden, and secret.
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully comment. I'm genuinely curious and would like to hear answers from the horses' mouth, if you will.
Grats!
