Satan 1:1

Satan.  That is the name Man, in his infinite wisdom and foolishness, has given to me.  Does it sadden me?  Yes.  Not the name in itself for it is simply a word as is any other.  Yet this word has meaning when spoken.  It is Man’s word for evil.  It is what I am attributed to have brought to His world.  My contribution to His creation.  And for my actions in Eden I am damned.

Was this true?  For years I contemplated this question.  Not the question of evil for I know Man to be the perpetrator alone.  Men need not the help of another to bring about evil.  The question of truth I sought concerned my damnation.  The facts are true.  I loved this world, His creation.  I further found comfort, solace, and joy in Eden.  And in Eve I found something even greater.  For that I was thrust into this mortal shell that has no end.  

Am I then immortal?  Is this my punishment? Is this world my prison?  

As I grew bolder I allowed myself to walk among men.  I was awkward and noticeable but not in the sense of who I was.  To others I was a simpleton.  One to be pitied.  And when a fist was raised in my direction for some unknown social folly I had committed I cowered.  I felt pain, yes.  But my mortality would not end with it.  Not as did the mortality of man.

Where did man go when he died?  This question had never entered my thoughts before.  I watched His creatures flourish and then perish.  More creatures took their places, evolved, and died out to make way for the next.  Man had evolved in this way.  Why did there have to be something after death?

To Man there had to be more.  It was not acceptable for Man to feel that after their mortality had ended there was nothing.  They looked to their Creator for answers.  Some claimed to have the answers.  This interested me as did nothing else.  What was it they claimed to know?  What knowledge had they been granted in their short time upon this world that I was not conscious of?

I sought to find the answers. The more I was shunned the more I learned about Man and his own tragic views on why he was and how he fit in with God’s design.
