Catholicism has deemed their God, their Yahweh, as the ultimate being. God is one, God is The Divine Creator, God is all knowing and all good. God created everything that ever was, is now, and will ever be. Sounds like quite a guy in my opinion! Truly a model figure for a society that has devoted their lives to his word. Stories tell of God being the original and omnibenevolent master that is created everything in the world we live in. It is also told of how God only can do good things, being the ultimate sentient being. Sure, there are tales of the Holy Lord showing little mercy on those who have gone against him, but it mostly is in the means of protecting his chosen people, like in the case of Moses and the Egyptians. I won't argue that such acts would defy the idea of God's image, as there are equal reasons as to why each act is as good as they are bad.
Throughout sacred texts dating back centuries, God has always dealt with Beelzebub, the evil being who's existence is associated with suffering and torment. The serpent of morality, Satin, has done terrible things according to the Bible. Truly such a being contains no good within it's agenda. But if God is the only creator and can only do good, where did this Devil come from? Was he there from the beginning? Or is there a darker, more sinister side to the Holy One that isn't spoken of in the liturgical transcripts? Did God create this demon that plagues the world he created? If he did, why? Is it a test of what he already knows? No reasonable explanation comes to mind as I question the origins of this horrible creature.
