If Jesus and Satan each authored a book to guide humanity, what would be the core message of each, and how would a reader discern which one leads to truth?

>>24467109 (OP)
Die to self, live in love.
Themes: sacrificial love, truth, grace, humility, eternal life through union with God.
It would call readers to lose their lives in order to find them, to serve rather than dominate, to forgive rather than condemn, to walk in light even when the world is dark.

If everyone serves, then there will be no ome to serve.

>>24467126
Exactly. No despots, just the gestalt of an entire interdependent society working towards the success of both the individual and the greater whole.

>>24467132
Meaning that no one will serve. Also, are you aware that your vague ideal society is indistinguishable from that of JS Mill? Also, what "success" are you even tqlking about? Because generally, when people say this, it boils down to worldly pleasure.

Live for others.

Where did this idea come from? Most tight-knit communities are neighbor helping neighbor, just because there's no leader caste in that little system doesn't mean no one serves. They serve each other.
>Also, are you aware that your vague ideal society is indistinguishable from that of JS Mill?
You'll have to be more specific, that's a bold conclusion to come to without explaining what brought you there.
>Also, what "success" are you even tqlking about?
Things that aid everyone and make the pursuit of leisure, personal growth, or further advancement of society possible. Public works, scientific discovery, a better work week, etc.
>Because generally, when people say this, it boils down to worldly pleasure
And maybe for you it is, I'm not judging.

Jesus already did.

I guess Satan's book would be the Catholic Catechism (Catholicism being satan's greatest counterfeit of Christianity) or all the other texts of all the other false religions in the world or all the retarded atheist books out there (lol).

>>24467109 (OP)
Jesus is presumed to be an actual man. I can't presume to know his message to humanity since I never met him. I guess going solely on the cultural context, he would write some outdated mishmash of old jewish traditions and values.

Satan, on the other hand is paranormal. His core message would be to spite God and worship him for material gain I guess

I would read each book to see what it would say the other said truth was and follow that. Or if that got confusing, the one on the left.

What is the bible?

the Bible has profoundly shaped literature, law, ethics, and culture for centuries. To believers, it is God’s revelation to humanity—a guide to truth, purpose, and salvation. To scholars and seekers alike, it remains a rich, complex document worthy of deep reflection, whether approached as divine truth, historical artifact, or moral philosophy

Jesus: you must pay 10% tithe to your local church, refrain from engaging in sexual activities unless you are married and in love, you must obey your local government at all times, you must refrain from alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography, dancing, rock music, and all other forms of degeneracy. You must regularly help the homeless and poor and make sure to spend a significant portion of your income doing so.

Satan: Have fun, get pussy
