      No he’s in there, pretty much all the way through.

      Like all things with the Bible, the OP of this post and most of these comments are fairly inaccurate, as are descriptions painting Satan and/or the various antagonists who may be the same or different characters throughout the bible as beings of pure malevolence- as it depends on certain translations and interpretations of a mystical and obtuse text that has been changed and recontextualized by society over thousands of years.

      For example - do you know whether harvest gleaning is morally good or bad without looking it up? What about whether someone who grows figs is considered higher in society or lower than someone who grows grapes? These would be second nature no Brainers to someone in the 1st century Levant.

      Yup, in the Bible. But there are loads of contradicting stories. It also states homosexuality is a sin, but also says it’s not. And it says you should be stoned to death if you eat pork. And God told a guy to murder his son. There’s so much weird shit in there, you can just pick whatever you like and force it down other’s throats while neglecting the rest you don’t like, like so many terror Christian loonies do. But the Bible changed over the years as it used to be copied by hand by monks and there’s the old and new testament. So it’s all just sadistic bullshit to be used to scare people into submission.
