Devil’s Discourse

An editor from one of the popular newspapers invited me to write a series of columns concerning my ideas about God and religion in today’s society. At first I objected because I felt my discussion on the topic might shock some people, perhaps scare them into realizing what is behind the “real” world. But fortunately this age has been duped into idiotic thinking concerning spiritual matters. For the longest time, during your “enlightenment”, most of you fell for the notion that nothing could be true unless proved through reason and rationality. Such is actually true, granted you remember there’s more to truth and reason than just using your five senses.

Oh, but what do you care?  You don’t really believe in me anymore, do you?  Sure my name pops up in the movies now and then or on cans of ham, but you don’t really know me.  I prefer if it stays that way.  You can’t stop your enemy if you don’t believe he exists.

 I guess that’s why writing these columns can’t do me any harm.  You don’t believe me (yet in a way you do), and so most of you will toss these columns as though some mad person wrote them.  Good. 

The editor for this paper explicitly told me I must tell the truth since the paper is supposed to be accurate, unbiased, blah blah blah… Okay, I’ll try to be honest, but it may be hard.  After all, telling lies is what I do best, right? 

I supposed many of you wonder why I am who I am.  Let me set the record clear.  I am not the guy you see in the movies or some guy with a pitchfork.  I can’t even remember where those ideas came from.  I’m more like a prosecutor, a district attorney if you will.  My job is to prosecute those who violate the law.

Now many of you have this absurd idea that there are legal laws and physical laws but no spiritual laws. Such ideas are nonsense, as people only believe that because they don’t want to be judged.  I will not waste my time with these humanistic ideas.  I sometimes regret I put this notion in humans’ heads, but it only better builds my case against the Race. 

I am telling you the truth, there is a real spiritual and moral law, established from the beginning of the Race. Since then, my job has been to expose offenders of this law. This law is perfect, (after all, look who designed it), and the only way the Race can function correctly is by following this law.  The law is no different from physical laws in the sense that it cannot stop working depending on the situation or be lenient depending on the times. Supposed the laws of motion or gravity decided to stop for a minute or so.  Suppose the earth said “I don’t want to follow the law of gravity anymore because it’s too old-fashioned and hinders me”?  If the earth stopped following the law of nature, it would likely hurl out into the darker reaches of space, throwing everything off course.  The physical laws exist to create order and prevent the de-resolution of the physical universe.  Likewise, the spiritual laws exist to do the same with the spiritual universe.

Do you understand now, that a perfect spiritual law exists to maintain spiritual and moral order?  Honestly, I hope you don’t or forget soon, but for the time being, I’m trying to put you in my shoes.

Now where there is a law, there must be a judge, a jury, prosecutor and defender. The Judge is obvious.  According to earthly ideas, humans have the idea that the judge is subject to the law and doesn’t actually make the law, but when it comes to spiritual law, the Judge is the Law.  The Judge, who designed the system in which all things work, has made a law that is fixed and cannot be tampered by humans no matter what crazy ideas they come with.  Even if they don’t acknowledge the Law, it still applies.  A person who jaywalks or steals a car can be arrested and prosecuted for violating the law, even if the person doesn’t know he or she violated it. 

The only way to have a working legal system is to make sure people abide by the law.  Those who abide are considered law abiders, while those who break it are law breakers.  The law breakers are punished, because they broke the law.  The law abiders are not punished because they obeyed the law. That’s how any legal system works. How can you have a functional legal system if you have laws but no method of punishing those who violate the law?  When you have that, the law breakers are treated the same as the law abider. Such a legal system is flawed.  Why do you think some of your people have such legal problems?  It’s because you don’t punish law breakers, and when you actually do, you try to “rehabilitate” them and be soft with them, which is no punishment at all.

A perfect legal system requires perfect laws, which are met by perfect punishment and retribution for those who violate the perfect law.  Someone who violates the law must receive retribution equal to the breakage of the law.  Say a man kills another man, and a judge gives him tens years imprisonment.  Has the murderer been appropriately punished?  Indeed, he has been punished, but not justly.  The only way the murderer could receive just punishment is if he were murdered in the same form or fashion that he murdered his victim.

Now before you get all hyped up into the ideas that capital punishment is wrong or that murderers are people too, understand this.  The law breaker is the one who broke the law.  He took it upon himself, whether sane or insane, competent or incompetent, to violate the law which was designed in this case to protect human life.  The violation of this law and any law must be equaled with punishment equal to the severity of the violation.  If the punishment is less than equal, say 20 years imprisonment for the taking of a life, it eliminates fairness in the law and sets a precedent that the victim’s life was only worth 20 years of a murderer’s.

Justice demands fairness, and fairness in the law demands that everyone receive just punishment for their crimes.  Soft punishment is not just punishment.  Just punishment, as the Judge has said it, is eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life. 

Of course human law is going to be flawed no matter what.  First, you don’t have the Judge presiding over each case, and human error will inevitably lead to error in judgment.

But I’m not talking about legal cases in the earthly sense.  I’m talking about the cases involving the spiritual, moral, eternal Law by the Judge. Many humans may avoid entering an earthly courtroom, but none will evade the Sovereign Court.  Human life on earth, as I see it, is nothing more than a collection of evidence.  The Judge mentions it as a time to be witnesses, but we’ll get to that later.  The earthly existence of each human is recorded, unknowingly to the human, in the Court records.  Every detail is examined, every minute written down.  We know it all.  There’s nothing to hide from us.  The Sovereign Court knows all and sees all, whether you believe it or not.  One of the Judge’s reporters put it, “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”

And that it where I come into the picture.  You know who the Judge is, the Establisher of the Law.  Now it’s time to focus on my job.

As Grand Prosecutor, my job is to uphold the law by exposing the human race of it’s crimes.  Now the Judge has some influence in exposing these crimes as well, but my purpose for doing it is to seek prosecution.  I want the accused punished appropriately, and so I present admissible evidence – the life of the accused.

Now some of you may sit and wonder, surely if the whole life of any man or woman is presented in court, will it not be seen, 9 times out of ten, that the person was relatively good?

Get one thing clear, okay.  My job is not to accuse someone of being “bad”, but to prosecute them for violating the law.  What law they violated, when it happened, why they did it – those aspects don’t matter in my job.  All I need to prove is that the human on trial violated the law.  Violating the law just once is still violating the law.  Violating the law just a little is still violating the law.  If I can prove he or she violated the law, I’ve proven my case, and so far, over the billions of people I’ve accused, I’ve never lost.

People aren’t punished in the human courts for being “good” or “bad” but for breaking the law.  The same way with the Sovereign Court.  Any human caught violating the Sovereign law will be tried and punished accordingly.  Yet, there’s a catch, which is why I enjoy the Sovereign Law over the silly human system.  In earthly courts, a person is placed on trial for breaking one particular law, such as jaywalking or murder.  Each crime has a punishment which may or may not be fair, but they each vary depending on the severity of the crime.  A person caught for jaywalking will not be punished as much as a person caught for murder.

It’s different in the Sovereign Court.  In there, the verdict is not “guilty of jaywalking” or “guilty of murder”. You are either guilty or not guilty of violating the law. It’s not a matter of which law you broke. If you broke it, you broke it and you’re guilty. If you didn’t break it, you’re not guilty.

So, using earthly laws as an illustration, let’s imagine there are two different defendants being prosecuted in the Sovereign Court. After a complete overview of the defendants’ lives, it is discovered the first defendant violated the Law by committing murder. The second defendant is found to have violated the law by jaywalking. Under the Sovereign Court rules, although each defendant committed different acts, both are guilty of violating the law.

Now comes the question, “What happens when the accused is found guilty?” Easy. They are punished accordingly and fairly. Now because they are simply considered guilty of breaking the Law, their punishment isn’t broken down into punishments for each individual instance. That’s not how this Law works. When you break it, you break it in its entirety. Therefore the punishment is if you’ve broken the law, in its entirety. That’s why they said “the wages of sin is death”. The punishment for violating the Sovereign Law, which is necessary for order and the prevention of chaos in the universe, is death. Not physical death, but real death – permanent separation from the Sovereign.

Does that shock you, to hear me warning you about this quaint little place called hell? It shouldn’t. After all, I’m the one trying to send the whole Race there. I am the prosecutor, and my job is to see the Race gets its due punishment for violating the Law. However, I am not the Judge. I’m subject under the Judge’s Law, and so He can pretty much do whatever He wants. Yet, He is still the Judge, and as a judge, He must rule without prejudice and without wavering to any side.

That’s why I win all the time, because as much as it breaks the Judge’s heart to see another one of these puny creatures burn, His Law that He created demands the maximum punishment for any violation. That’s why the Race is doomed, because they’re all guilty. Think not? Someday when you sit in the defendant’s chair, you’ll think otherwise. I’ve never lost a case yet.

I’ve already gotten some nasty letters from some people who question my “opinions” about the afterlife. Did you not read who I am? These are not opinions, but solid facts.

Someone wrote, “Dear Satan, I find it hard to believe that a loving God would create a law for mankind that if broken even slightly would result in death. Your dogma about hell is purely outdated and so is your concept of a judging God. I believe that God is love and that all people will go with Him for eternity.”

Okay, first let’s blow away this idea that whatever you believe is somehow true. I know I’ve bamboozled a few people by giving them that idea, but if I believe I’m a potato, that doesn’t make it true. I’m talking about real truth here – facts.  

Getting to the part about the “loving God”. Did I say God is loving? No, I just was talking about how He handles the Sovereign Law. Now His love is another story.

The Sovereign Law is necessary for the prevention of absolute chaos in the spiritual world, just as physical law is necessary for order in the physical world. If there was no Judge for the Sovereign Law, the Law would be useless and invalid without any upholding authority. Just like the earthly law would be useless without the courts, the judges, juries, and lawyers.

Now just where did you get the idea that you deserve to spend eternity with God? If God is just, and you are found guilty of violating His Law (which you will), then you will get what you deserve – punishment and annihilation. You deserve the attention of your Maker as much as a paramecium. You are nothing, yet you think you’re as good as the Sovereign Himself. Who do think you are? God?

I can’t understand why I’m always blamed for making the Race think it’s as good as God. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t cause “the fall of man” as the Judge’s Record says. I just presented them options. Those two willingly chose to make themselves their own gods, as with the rest of the Race. I was just a witness, an innocent bystander. Well, I will chase them down and prosecute them so they’ll get what they deserve, and I’ll show that all-knowing Judge what kind of mistake He made by allowing these filthy things to ever exist…
