that has almost nothing to do with the thread unless i am missing something here.. i might as well say i prefer the seven deadly sins doesnt really add much unless i am trying to give them each a human characteristic and what they represent..

Looking at you.
God vs Satan is a mythological expression of human nature. That is what you were getting at in your last post (at least that is what it appeared to me). The ten worlds is another expression of human nature, but it's not mythological. The problem with the god vs satan is perfectly illustrated by your post. You (or pop culture) attributed almost anything you wanted to satan. This does very little in the way of helping a person get through life. Sure it might be helpful in some cases like war, but when you are trying to get along with people at work, it falls far sort. The ten worlds has all of the aspects you listed for satan, plus the ones for god, and more. It also shows the relationship between these emotions, and gives concrete solution that work in every day life. Enlightened yet?
I was really just telling you that I think the icon of satan is stupid, and falls short of anything really usable with the exception of a few extreme circumstances.
anyways at shaky i just wanted ppl to anthropomorphize whatever it was about the adversary and his attributes. i was just tired and bitter last night and decided to question ur post.
was that specifically stated in the bible? i really cant remember any reference to his actual punishment in the quran and i know it wasnt mention in the Torah about his fall or anything other then him being a servant of god... unless i completely missed something from the new testament or an old manuscript outside the bible like the book of enoch.
also aren't angels in their physical form shapeless or something?
i bn giving the devil a human form if he took on a human form but what would he look like in his true form?
would he still look like the morning star or would he be something more hideous with some form of a malleable body?
i mean we know angels arent human so why would they look like bone and meat like the rest of us?
Unfortunately I'm not too sure, I was born with limited knowledge just as everyone else. Everything we've come to know is just what we've been told by the people of the past. If god is real, i believe the soul to be just as real.
Its obvious you're just looking to prove someone wrong. It's fun isnt it?

Proving something wrong is the only thing we can do. Speaking of wrong, your assertion that all we know is what people have told us, doesn't take into account experimentation. There are people who believe in Santa Clause, unicorns, and space aliens. They are all loosely based on some belief, and maybe even some truth, but belief is not good enough to convince someone else.
