  Satan doesn’t do evil. He merely tricks people into doing evil. Kind of like a criminal lawyer than an evil god.

    Isn’t manipulating and coercing people to do evil things also evil?

  Either that or:-

  • is not as powerful as advertised

  • has a different definition of evil

  • doesn’t exist

  Maybe some other possibilities.

    One of which that I’m aware is: the devil was deliberately created with the knowledge of its future rebellion to test the faith of people. Another is to wait for them to repent. I don’t follow any more, but deeper into catholicism there’s a surprising amount of theory. For a religion with an organized structure, it’s not very organized.
