FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Wikipedia entry: Satan is an embodiment of antagonism that originates from the Abrahamic religions, being traditionally considered a "fallen" angel in Judeo-Christian belief and a Jinn in Islamic belief. Originally, the term was used as a title for various entities (humans, accusing angels, etc.) that challenged the religious faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible. Since then, the Abrahamic religions have used "Satan" as a name for the Devil.In a sense, we are both right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have no idea how those hyperlinks got in my quote, but that is awesome. Anyway, we could always find something to debate I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 That reminds me. I haven't posted here in awhile because you guys keep talking about s*** that I don't know, and can't look up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ahh, I see. Well, I can usually explain the topics if you wish. If not, then probably Smashsquatch can because he usually talks about Lost Tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Indeed I watch alot of Lost Tapes plus I literally just finished a book about Cryptzoology so I have more knowledge then I did before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well then, that is very good Smashsquatch :D To continue our latest topic, like I said before, most if not all religions have their version of demons and devils and some King of Hell. Every culture believes in their own versions of Heaven and Hell, whether it be different realms or states of mind (Nirvana) or various other ideas. Edit: On a side note, I might not be here much for the next few days. I'm working on a couple of projects, 1 IRL and 1 for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Of course then again there are those religions that have Renecarnation and Karma!Honestly I don't know if they really have a Devil or hell! All I know is they believe in Budda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 The concept of Hell(s) in Buddhism is very different from that of other religions. It is not a place for eternal damnation as viewed by 'almighty creator' religions. In Buddhism, it is just one of the six realms in Samsara [i.e. the worst of three undesirable realms]. Also, there are virtually unlimited number of hells in the Buddhist cosmology as there are infinite number of Buddha worlds. Does this help?

Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I guess! But all of this talk about Lucifer reminds me of Castlevania and Ghouls N Ghosts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I know the Castlevania series, but I'm unfamiliar with the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 It was a classic a SNES game! It's hard but it's mainly about this resurrected knight who's been summoned to kill Lucifer and his demon/undead army! The first one was called Ghouls N Goblins but then they changed the name and added a better plot to it! One of my favorite video game characters the Red Arremer were from that game! http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np3/redarremer-o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ahh, I see. I never had that many games for my SNES and I wasn't as big into gaming at the time, so I didn't hear of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Afterwards it had slow progress!I think that Red Arremer should be in the next Tatsunoko vs Capcom game if they ever make another! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have no idea what Tatsunoko is. Anyway, maybe they will. You can always dream. Back on our topic, what do you all believe about The Devil and Hell and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well I'm Christian so Hell and Satan are large evils in my eyes but I don't mind Pop-Culture demons and what not cause those are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well, many of the pop-culture demons you are used to hearing are based off of real demons and entities of chaos and evil. For example, perhaps you've heard of the name "Lilith"? That's based off of more archaic Christian beliefs. If I recall correctly, Lilith was Adam's (Adam and Eve) first wife.

Smashsquatch Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I've heard the name but I'm not quite familiar with where I exactly heard of it before! Either way, Evil characters gain there names from evil entities or some sort of evil doer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Not always, but a good majority of the time. There are still plenty of originally-named evildoers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashsquatch Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I actually like his name backwards! Alucard it just sounds kickass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Well, that is a personal opinion, but I do agree with you, I like Alucard as a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
