God constantly murders and imposes immoral actions of poor humans yet how often do you see Satan do this? I think the conclusion can be reached that the reason why Satan was punished by God is because he was one of the first few who realized that God is a dick. With this version of the story now the Bible makes some sense to me... God is evil and a dick , Satan realized that tried to stand against his injustice so got punished... Satan is the good guy, God is the bad guy...
This has always struck me, too. If the bad side is really the "lord of lies," how can you be sure you're trusting the right side? Maybe the entire bible is the test to see if you'll side with evil and even try to justify it when threatened with hell, or if you're willing to stand up and say, "No, this is wrong," regardless of the consequences?
