The devil is a more relatable character in the Bible than Jesus is.

If you really think about it all for a minute, we all can in some way relate to or know someone that can relateĀ  to this devil Satan character.

He wants the freedom from a tyrannical piece of shit and yet comes to become the very thing he hated God for being and winds up the ultimate tester and enforcer of sinning spirits.

He struggles in a way that suggests genuine agony and psychological trauma, not just weird hypocrisy.

The character Jesus seems conflicted, the guy in one way is an outgoing alpha male and in others is a very homosexual needy type. In one way, he wants us all to forgive and love each other and yet also we are taught to resent and loathe the devil and all those who dare sympathise with him.

This devil character is not angled as an enemy of Jesus but rather a bully, yet in reality it is Jesus who is potentially the bully to the devil. It comes entirely down to who is lying about who.

Before you retort that homosexuals can be alpha males, I am aware but there is a type and it doesn't add up.

Jesus is a needy guy, clingy, attention-seeking (almost entirely with males who are themselves rebellious and dominant except for John), compliment-thirsty and at the same time is hardheaded, ruthless, cunning and teaches his followers to be cowards.

If the devil is the ruler of hell, why isn't Jesus the ruler of heaven?

They aren't rivals, they are completely different people. The devil isn't out to convert and convince, he's in it for the thrill.

Jesus is in it for the compliments and fulfiment from a daddy figure that will never see him as someone truly on his level.

If Jesus is God and calls himself his own father that is just so twisted, in a depraved way that implies a deeply weird desire in him to make himself his own male underling... What is more interesting is why he made himself go through such a masochistic ending.

Of course Satan appears more relatable. Opposing poles attract.

The Mod probably thought you were talking about how Trump is similar to the devil in the Bible.
