A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Still he is often portrayed as the evil counterpart of God, which is as opposite as you will get

I've seen what God "approves of", and I wouldn't call it the opposite of evil.

Maybe God's biggest trick was convincing everyone that Satan is the evil one. ๐Ÿค”

That's why God had to release part 2 of the bible, cuz he's such a dick in the first book. Also why Satan rebranded as Santa.

Maybe the Gnostics were unto something.

Maybe in modern media. He's definitely not portrayed as an equal or opposite to God in the bible. He's just another angel

Definitely. I just reasoned that God is the personification of good while Satan is the personification of evil. It is just a shower thought, a word game, so don't give it too much thought :)
