<and I think God was trying to tell Satan, in contemporary terms, "the matrix canot tell you who you are........you are free.........if you choose to be"........Mmmmmm>
.........so, God allowed, as the story goes, Satan, to test his theory and torment some poor bastard of the system, as satan would have thought, to prove that by the torment of that person, that person would become "evil"........would ADAPT to his torment.
........as the story goes, satan failed.........as the one being tormented never lost his faith in God.
HENCE, as the story goes (and it does seem to seem logical, at this point)........Satan, in being a tormenter, in having to live up to his own theory, because he had "pride", had to face a reality of hell...........for being a "tormentor" and in being "wrong".
.............ANY THOUGHTS, PEOPLE?
I think the message, the MORAL, and well may we look at the canvass itself of the evolution of faith in the minds of people, even the installment of faith by God, as would seem logical, is that if the system of space-time is conscious, it can't tell a person who or what they are...............a person is "free"............
And that's a good thing in this day and age of placiong ourselves in IT bubbles that have the ability to outsmart us.........why not install faith to ensure we are still "free"?
