I don't think there is a separate type of god called Satan but there is good an evil within us all. For instance I could punch a complete stranger clean in the face for no good reason other than... to punch someone in the face. It serves no reason and would probably cause more hassle than the meagre gratification of the act....so we don't do it. It's as simple as that. Should you be given a "punch anyone without consequence" ticket you would probably use it.... just for the HELL of it. Satan is an abstract.

The Creator God of the Universe is separate and distinct from the God of This World...and this God seems to be AWOL. Why? I don't know...and I'm not sure that I really want to know. I have a problem understanding this idea. For me there is only the creator god. There is no god of this world. If you are referring to the things we can perceive as injustices like murder, dictators, natural disasters and wars. Then that's just part and parcel of the journey we're on. You'll have to accept the concept that shyte does happen and it's all part of the gig...the greater goodness. There can only be one...God

I won't attempt to think abraxasinas's thoughts after him (or her). Again...I think we may be witnessing a defection. I don't know for certain. I would advise extreme caution and discernment on the Thuban Q&A Thread. I can honestly say I have no idea what Abrax is trying to get at. Partly because I haven't read most of it and partly due to my learned experiences and drawn conclusions. I see it more as a man trying to explain a man made idea of the Old testament in modern language. The fact he quotes from the man made book called the bible confuses me. That darn thing was never written by Jesus and I suspect much of it never was written by the disciples. Perhaps it's just one big metaphor and Abrax's metaphor is tail chasing an older version. I suspect that if one goes into it in depth one will be left with the same conclusions prior to the study. Again...Hands up here...I haven't read it so I could be wrong.

A lot of this stuff could be the real deal...or reflective of the real deal...and could potentially reprogram a person who spends a lot of time studying the thread. That's akin to explaining why we have so many different religions on this planet. There are right and wrong things in everything even people.

I'm still having a very difficult time getting into it. The material on page 3 of that thread stopped me cold. I'm going to spend a lot of time picking that page apart. abraxasinas may have released a huge amount of information which human eyes were never supposed to see. Just speculation. It could also be someone’s intellectual ego having a laugh. <----You may be saying that's too big an idea for anyone to conceive. Yer!...well who wrote the Bibles of all religions on the plant? Someone with a pen.
