First off your first sentence has contradictions. Secondly, the premise is to reject a “higher power”. If the devil tells you to reject god and practice that’s a net 0 profit. Nothing has changed. The only difference now is you rejected God. Even the most generous interpretation of the reading would still imply to reject the supernatural to gain skill. That being said at that point I think the allegory is lost on you.

Ok, let’s actually think this through. If the devil appeared and told you to do his bidding and forsake God that would imply he was foiling God in one way or the other. That implication is massive. Regardless of what the devil offers it would also imply that all the lore was true. If all the lore were true, using the information given, that would still imply that God is the alpha and omega. That being the case choosing god would still be the better choice, despite whatever god offers. It could even be a kick in the nuts, he’s done it before.
This man living a dream with a wife that has a hobby job. “Why would anybody interested in a perfect life?” Idk try and figure it out.
Why should the guy that got away with rape be the same guy to decide what’s fair.
Nah, doesn’t matter what your views are that’s a form of cannibalism.
I mean that’s the literal devil. If there was ANY proof you should surrender to a higher power I think that’s it.
Haha no, nobody ever pays. If marching on the capital with a impromptu militia doesn’t get you in trouble nothing will.
This is the thing, the AI just doesn’t work. That’s a faulty system, not a system that works as intended. Now if you wanna talk about the legal system they have to enter to prove thier innocence, well just to start the argument of innocence you have to pay. Depending on the amount of money you spend also affects the amount of innocent you are.
Still very possible.
They’re just cons who don’t wanna go to church.
That’s literally what I thought when I saw it. Like what’s the appeal? GB a popcorn bucket with your boy?
Kafka was most famous for pointing out that our current society is built on bureaucracy unto death. For instance how he have to fill out insurance forms while dying of cancer.
That isn’t kafkaesque, that’s just authoritarian.
Idk, he’s almost always the bad guy…
Now the bulging muscle makes sense

Hey dumdum, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Try using your brain why black people have it a little worse.
Rofl wow you’re right, it is weekend at berries.
