How would you describe God and Satan?

[Boojatta]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Nonexistent.

Although I'll admit to the possibility that Satan does exist, in the form of Dick Cheney.

[Boojatta]

2. Did Satan tell George W. Bush to invade Iraq?

[saltpoint]

3. Good poll, Boojatta.

I tend to respond to how others present God and Satan more than I have formed any kind of firm notion of either one.

I understand how others speak of them through the Silver Age Marvel Thor comic books, when Thor and his evil half-brother Loki dueled for dominance in the heavens, etc.

Thor generally won those bouts. Also he had the best outfit.

In a concurrent post on DU comes word of a local church's book-burning event on grounds that books and other materials which are deemed "Satanic" must be consigned to the bonfire. My guess is that the books and CDs, etc. are probably acceptable in the larger landscape and that "Satan" is more present in the burners' brains than in any one of the books about to be tossed into the fire.

4. REAL

I would describe both as real. I'll leave real undefined.

[Vinnie From Indy]

5. It depends on which one is in the room!

God- good dancer, always lets messages go to voicemail
Satan - snappy dresser, bad tipper

[Boojatta]

8. Does Satan get low quality service in restaurants...

or does Satan have a habit of not going to the same restaurant twice?

[donco6]

6. One of them is superfluous.

But I'm not sure which.

[MineralMan]

7. Fictional characters, used to control society.

Thanks for asking.

10. +1

9. Both are human delusions. nt

11. Trouble on wheels

And where there's one, the other is usually skulking about.

[Skeeve]

12. None of the Above

As I didn't see "Both are man-made constructs reflecting the inner turmoil of being human, and used as tools to keep the easily duped in line." as an answer.

[Taverner]

13. Some parts of the Bible would lead you to believe God and the Devil are one and the same

Book of Job for example
