    Well, Satan’s inspiration origin is Zoroastrian, where that entity was thought of as destructive will. There’s nothing inherently interesting about destruction for the sake of it, which is what that entity represents. God OTOH can make claims of being about more than just destruction. That’s the problem. So either retcon Satan or just be okay with being associated with murder symbol.

      Maybe the modern Christian conceptualization of Satan comes from that, but the view is not Biblically supported. And isn’t that what’s supposed to matter to Christians?
