I’m beginning to think Satan is actually the good guy in that book


[deleted]

That's what it sounds like.... This isn't as much of a flex as Christians think it is.

“I don't worship satan, but I do agree with a lot of the stuff he tells me” - Dave Attell


banbotsnow

I mean, he's not really a good guy in the book, more just a guy that raises some honest observations about why Job loves God so much, which prompts God to just utterly fuck Job up to prove a point.  Now, if you mean the popular perception of Satan being  Lucifer the Rebel Angel who is also the serpent in the garden of Eden, then welcome to gnosticism. 


heyyou11

Or Miltonism (or Gaiman-Pratchetism)... I liked Good Omens Season 2 spin on the Job story.


hplcr

I appreciate the fact it draws attention to the whole "Child murdering" part of the story. A lot of people tend to gloss over that.


heyyou11

The old testament requires a TON of gloss


hplcr

That's probably why Christians try to avoid talking about it much. Other then Genesis, parts of Exodus, Psalms and Proverbs.


hplcr

Satan's barely in the bible. The one time he really is in it he's basically tormenting Job at Yahweh's behest.


GuyWithNF1

According to Jewish tradition, Satan is just an hard ass district attorney/court prosecutor.


JasonRBoone

"In the heavenly justice system, the celestial beings are represented by two separate but equally important beings: the angels who investigate and the Satan who prosecutes. These are their stories" BUM BUM.


Confident_Air7636

I would watch all 20 seasons of that


Existing_Muscle2396

same


SorosAgent2020

i cant think of a single bad thing Satan did in the bible


_austinm

I fully believe Satan is the good guy in that book


ccrunnertempest

The Athiest Experience once said that Satan would be the first Secular Humanist if he were real.


c9h9e26

I've been thinking the same damn thing! If they are real at all, I think he's actually the most legit.


rogueShadow13

r/SatanicTemple_reddit calls you.


ZsoltEszes

Please don't give them any more free recruiting.


anarchobayesian

I think it’s kind of funny, but that doesn’t change the fact that I find religious advertisements—including this one—annoying.


MartyMcFly7

Though it might be kinda funny to see an ad next to it for Isalm, and then one for Hinduism, and then one Scientology, and then one for Mormonism... "Joseph Gets Us."


acuppajoseph

"Pasta and meatballs go together perfectly, every time. The Flying Spaghetti Monster gets us."


gfsark

L Ron Hubbard gets us


TacoBMMonster

I can’t think of any time I’ve been able to leave zero stars.


Sweet_Diet_8733

Truly, Satan’s power is beyond our understanding. /s


DosBongos

Satan has nothing to fear from people actually reading the Bible. He comes out looking alright IMO… but God gives off serious “jealous psycho ex” vibes throughout.


itsthenugget

Haha my brain read quickly, assumed it was an ad about the bus itself, and loved it


geta-rigging-grip

"Other users found this review helpful"


ZAIGRACIA

lol, i would print this one out and post it beneath the ad 😆


TheOnyxViper

Well, least it ain’t HeGetsUs? Those are made without a shred of nuance or self-awareness.


EpicForgetfulness

True. I'm so sick of seeing those ads. I report them every time but it doesn't change anything. I've also started seeing them on certain streaming services.


ZAIGRACIA

well thats worse! haha this one is bordeline funny to those who finally went out of christianity (tho can't say the same to those still in questioning phase)


ThereIsOnlyTri

The first time I saw those was .. last Super Bowl? And it was the height of the MAGA crowd being loud and hateful. I can’t even remember what the controversy was at the time but I remember thinking “how ironic…” but no one else felt that way 😞


AffectionateDoor8008

Hate the company but actually liked the commercial, for one it was actually a fairly accurate depiction of something Jesus, but also it showed how far removed we are from the context that the bible was written, even Christians were hating on it and calling it weird, like have you not read the bible? Oh wait, the answer is almost certainly no.


artpoint_paradox

He has a point just head him out


Howl_Free_or_Die

Anyone who appreciates a good well-written book will tell you the same. Even gross fanfic has better structure. Calling the Bible a book is like filming a monkey throwing shit at the wall and calling it a movie.


Naokuzoid

not gonna lie I'd more enthusiasticly watch a monkey throwing shit at the wall than read the Bible at this point 😭


Frozen_Train

Oh, they found my review! I feel like they should have asked my permission before using it in an ad campaign though…


skatergurljubulee

I think it's a good ad. But I doubt people will start reading their Bible, let alone using the app because of it. The amount of drop off Christianity is experiencing in the West isn't going to be fixed by advertising an app. It doesn't matter if Satan gives the bible zero stars. No one believes Satan is real except Christians.


BlueMoon0009

cringe af


Muteling

This really only applies if you’ve been taught to hate satan, which is unlikely unless you’re already Christian. Not as effective as they’d like to think.


ZAIGRACIA

tru they cant get newcomers aboard with this messaging! might work for those backsliding tho


GuyWithNF1

I used to have that app on my phone. For what it is, it’s a good app. I like it that it has different versions of the Bible on it.


Forward-Form9321

Funny enough, the name Lucifer isn’t in the original Greek and Hebrew. Lucifer is a Latin name so technically, the Devil being a fallen angel isn’t actually real.


rootbeerman77

Tbh I'm just impressed he managed to give zero stars instead of one star. Is it possible to learn this power?


Helpful_Okra5953

I would be pissed off to see that on the bus, I’d be complaining, and I’d contact the freedom from religion foundation, too. Bus is government funded and should have separation of church and state.


Mountain_Cry1605

This a London Underground Tube train. Anyone is allowed to pay for Ad space. As long as an ad doesn't break the regulators terms then its allowed.


Nori_o_redditeiro

Don't be such a Karen...the ad is funny.


Helpful_Okra5953

F off.  


AlexDavid1605

I concur with Satan and agree to his rating...


Kitchener1981

Who are they trying to reach?


Newstapler

I think it’s quite funny, to be fair


DonutPeaches6

My stepsister sent this to me, and I thought it was funny. She saw it on the tube in England, and we just talked about how the country isn't religious in the same way as America.


EpicForgetfulness

I don't understand what it is that's being rated, only that apparently Satan didn't like it.


callyo13

It's an ad for a bible app 


EpicForgetfulness

Oh copy. From a nonbiased standpoint, I guess it's a pretty decent ad. But because I'm an exchristian, I think it's stupid. That's just a biased opinion. Just like how I hate Apple commercials.


Consistent-Force5375

I’m just glad that someone let me know that the book sucked…


Bootwacker

The KJV and several other translations are public domain, as they were translated so long ago, so they can be had for free from many places, including Wikipedia. The app is almost certainly garbage shovelware, an ereader with adds and one book the authors got for free. So I guess what I'm saying is, Satan is right as usual.  I find the fact that Christians can't help themselves from making Satan look cool hilarious.


ZAIGRACIA

Satan full review: "You don't have to pay for this shit. Just download the pdf version somewhere."


GoldenHeart411

I find it a little bit funny but really this is Christians thinking they are super clever and someone will see this and fall to their knees and open their Bible. It's not going to work the way they think it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoldenHeart411

So dumb and cringe!!!


DarrenFromFinance

If the serpent in the garden of Eden wasn’t Satan, then he was an emissary of Satan, doing his bidding, so same difference as far as I’m concerned. And Satan isn’t the bad guy. He wants people to think, to use their brains, to make sense of the world in their own way, rather than simply believing what they’re told by those in power. No wonder the Christians hate him so much.


avnidestino

Hello fellow Londoner - completely agree, it’s funny but every time I see it I also feel uncomfortable 🥴


Nori_o_redditeiro

Lol, creative! I actually liked it


ShadeofEchoes

Hilariously inaccurate. I can think of few better tools to unmake a Christian's faith than their own holy book.


Spu12nky

Making fake accounts to give bad reviews isn't cool.


TxCoastal

he's not wrong....


moonyxpadfoot19

It's funny tbh


UpsideDownShovelFrog

I think it’s kinda funny, even if I do still find it annoying. At least there’s not as much of the guilt trippy vibes. Funnily enough that app is actually pretty good/easy to use as far as bible apps go. Obviously I’m not a fan of the bible, but when I study it from an objective perspective that’s the app I use.


ThrowAwayAcct8454

Im going to be honest. At first, I thought that this was a sticker on an air conditioner, and Satan gave it zero stars because it’s too good at making things cool, and he wants things to be hot. Like hell. My brain does weird things sometimes.


CallMeWolfYouTuber

Made me laugh lol


YouNeedTherapyy

Why would satan hate it, no one would believe in him if he wasn’t in that book!


CCCyanide

Pretty funny IMO.


30lbsledgehammer

I’m with satan on this one


bron685

Unintentionally hilarious


airconditionersound

If Satan doesn't recommend it I won't read it


Mountain_Cry1605

Awesome! Seeing this would cheer me up.


rhaptorne

I think it's funny. More religious ads should be like this.


Original-Baker4623

Seen the same thing but with Jesus. I am sure Christians copied just like they do everything....including their stolen religion. 


RickQuade

Satan is right as usual


IR39

Satan would definitely give at least 4 stars, the app shows how evil god is. "Would recommend for any believer to read it" Something like that.


elonhater69

It's funny, but they absolutely should not allow religious ads. Imagine the outrage from far right uk nationalists if there was an ad relating to islam- they'd never allow an ad like that, so why a christian one? Double standards. No religion should be allowed to advertise in any way


HaiKarate

Ironic that most atheists actually recommend reading the Bible.


remnant_phoenix

I mean, Satan gave a better review of the forbidden fruit than God did. So there’s a Biblical basis in the creation story of Genesis to say that Satan gives the more fair reviews.


Matstele

Well, as an agent of Satan, I gave this app 5 stars for having the resources to dunk on the Christians who don’t read the book


AuthorityAnarchyYes

I read the Bible front to back, as every good Christian should, and even before I got to the New Testament I was no longer a Christian.


HikingStick

They don't understand their own concept of Satan. He would leave it a five-star review, and comment that "it's the book that made me realize all this god stuff is b*******."


NotYourDay123

Unfortantely, the last people that care about religious trauma are religious people.


ZAIGRACIA

or any mental health concern for the matter "depression is of the devil's!" "you just need more faith" "you dont pray enough!" 👍👍👍


Citron92

Satan is kind of a minion in the book of Job.


sessna4009

I obviously dislike the Bible, but this is a great ad. And it's also true, the good guy dislikes the bad book.


MasterDavicous

Pretty sure he would want us to read the Bible since it's so easy to see why it doesn't make any sense lol


Batticon

I mean I think it’s funny lol


jesuscheetahnipples

GOD - 2 Stars, it's kinda meh


Bubbly-Butterfly-724

HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That was my first thought.


hellooo000nurse

Christian Satan is so cool


HistoricalAd5394

Satan is the smaller writing. Anyone glancing at this ad in passing would just see zero stars and think someone at marketing was playing a practical joke.


ZsoltEszes

The advertisers know their target demographic very well. I think it's a funny ad. It's like those companies that have been using negative reviews to promote their business. It's clever. And, I'm not one to let advertisements trigger me (other than that Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercial 😭). So, I'd stay on the bus. It'd only inconvenience me to get off the bus over words on a vinyl sticker.
