Zero equals infinity. This means there is no Creator or it means the creator is nothing. Therefore there is no God. If there is no God there is no Satan either. Many say there is a Creator that creates everything that is. They say something had to create the earth with its mountains, rivers, clouds and me and you. They point to the miracle of life and birth. They point to our love. They say there must be a Good God that made all this. Well, what about the hate, the abuse, and the life that feeds on life? What about greed and murder? They say there must be counter part to God called Satan. Some say the creator creates both good and evil.
Well, scientifically speaking all of this is actually empty space with energy vibrations. That is all it is. This energy is balanced into opposites that cancel each other out and add up to nothing at all. The view of Buddhism is like this also. The form is the void and the void is the form. There is also the God Brahmin who dreams the universe and sleeps on a bed. The bed is Ananta the cosmic unending serpent with no form. The form is based on the formless.
This is what I understand to be reality. This is what I understand to be the creator. Therefore I do not belive any one to be God or Satan. You and I and everyone else will never be God or Satan, never. We are separate individual egos. We are not all that is.
I like Buddhism because it does not mention God for its bases. It is about the ego submitting to a way of being to eliminate suffering. It is about becoming happy. Intersetingly Anton Levey, the author of the Satanic Bible agreed with the idea to not have a master. Guess who that would be, Satan of course? For the most part his book is about being true to yourself and not being hypocritical. It is about self mastery too. We learn from all our choices. I have realized we need each others love and acceptance to heal our pain. We are all in the same boat whatever that boat is.
