Democracy?
Today in class Coach Crook mentioned that the devil will create a fake democracy in hell. We also touched on the topic of how God gives everyone the choice to be good or to be evil. If God promotes free choice than why did he punish Satan for choosing to overthrow him? Is God really any more noble than Satan?

When we, or you, get to Book II of PL, see if the Council in Hell reminds you of any scenes from The Godfathers.
ReplyDeleteThe fake democracy could be just a means to keep everyone in Hell feeling that they have a say in what happens there. Satan should definitely be one to know that people like to have power, and when they don't have that power they might do anything to get it, including revolt. God promotes free choice because being able to make good decisions when making bad ones is also an option is really the difference between good and evil. God wasn't punishing Satan for exercising his right to free choice, he was punishing him for making the wrong decision.
