The Stupid Devil

Was The devil really that stupid? The bible account clearly proves it. Please see Matthew chapter 4 verse 8-10. “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.“And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou will fall down and worship me.” “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Of course, Jesus in this episode, was not only childish himself, but also gullible. He miserably failed to remind the stupid devil that he had no legal title or rights of ownership to assets and properties and kingdoms of this world to offer to anyone. Jesus could have simply told the stupid devil that “Hey, you poor sap! What are you talking about? My father, the creator of heaven and hell, is the rightful owner of the kingdoms you are offering me!” Really, if we were to read bible contents inspired with critical analysis, we need not end up being bible believers stuck with mental paralysis. To begin with, why would God inspire only authors to write the bible? The more intelligent thing to do is to inspire the best part of any book - the millions of readers? In this way, we need worship divinity by hating humanity which in fact characterizes the entire history of Christianity. But then again, I could be dead wrong. The devil could be the smartest creature God ever created. After all, ours is not only the devil of religion, but also the religion of the devil! Poch Suzara
