      Well that’s not really in there, he is often described as an adversary. But it is notable that there are many times where he is used by god in a necessary way.

        Interesting. I am thinking I should really learn more about the bible, not out of a desire to believe but more as a desire to learn.

          It’s a good goal. I was raised religious but actually left dogmatic religion precisely because I read the bible, and then parts of other religious literature from other faiths.
