Satan - The Prince of Darkness

Not always according to the law. Hence mitigating factors - that the responsibility is not completely ones own.

It doesn't necessarily clear one completely of culpability, but it recognises the grey area that exists, that it is possible to coerce a person into doing something they don't want to do, and would most likely never do normally. Choice in such a case is less prominent then the factors that force them to choose in opposition to what a person would usually do. That is the choice is tainted, or not true choice.

Actually - the *mitigating factors* involve only man's perception of a situation. God can see clearly into all(situations) - and they are all considered black or white to him. So in laman's terms - one has either commited a sin(according to God's judgement) - or they have not(from God's perspective.)

But as I stated before - God is a righteous and merciful judge. We all deserve *Hell* in his eyes - because of our sin(s) - but being that he is a loving God - he is truly *merciful* with us, choosing to overlook all of these sins - so long as we come to him with a repentent spirt(a spirit that allows one to take culpability for their actions).

🤘 all hail the dark lord 🤘

God is even willing to forgive those who post bad/overused/cliched jokes(although I'm sure it depends on how bad/overused/cliched the joke is..He..He..)

the Satan is evil he is trying to make us do bad things
as Allah says in the Quran
(The Pagans), leaving Him, call but upon female deities: They call but upon Satan the persistent rebel!
Allah did curse him, but he said: "I will take of Thy servants a portion Marked off
"I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes Satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.
Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false desires; but Satan's promises are nothing but deception.
They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they will find no way of escape.
But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness,- we shall soon admit them to gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-to dwell therein for ever. Allah's promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer than Allah's?

Meh - Satan only has as much power as we let him have over us - for as it is written - "Greater is he who is of me - than he who is of the world"

So no man(nor demon) really has any real power over us. One must be responsable for themselves.

isnt the burden of proof on the one who declares the existance of something, rather than the one who denies it?
