For a good interview with Satan check out Walter Kaufmann's book Critique of Religion and Philosophy. In it he has three short dialogues in "Satanic Interlude or How to Go to Hell," that are hilarious. The first is "Dialogue Between Satan and a Theologian;" the second, "Dialogue Between Satan and a Christian;" and the last, "Dialogue Between Satan and an Atheist." They are short (about 5-10 pages each) and right on.

You guys should really read this. Its by a magzine thats about religious satire. Even though its meant to be a joke, I thought it made some interesting points. What do you think?

one before. I like the speeding fish logo on the current
issue's front page. It reminds me of RBHILL. He should
consider making that his forum avatar.

Are you saying that Jesus is not telling the truth?
There is that whole: "I am the son of God" statement like thing that he mentioned.
Admittadly, he was probably drunk at the time. And hell knows, I've been known to make much worse statements when inebriated, but it is at least a slight exaggeration...
And then there's the Mary Magdelene debacle. Denial through-out. Tsssss.....
Some call him god, others call him a false prophet, others still called him misguided (Good old Pilate for one). I think he was just a cunning politician...and they all lie!

Originally posted by gambit3no, I'm saying that no one would say that their opposition might be worth listening to. Would Bush say "That Kerry fella, he's got quite a few good ideas that you won't hear from me"? Would Nokia advertise that Erikson had phones that were better than theirs in some respects? No.
Are you saying that Jesus is not telling the truth?
I'm saying that when anyone says the opposition isn't to be trusted and isn't worth listening to you must take into account that they are from a biased point of view.

I bet that was a REALLY short book!

But yes while all three dialogues are pretty short, the one with the atheist is particularly so (like 4 pages or so). It has a surprising ending that's pretty ironic, but I won't spoil it.
