Satan, a Non-Devil, a Misunderstood Prince?
Oh, come on! The next thing Henry Ansgar Kelly would do is call Satan, “Love,” and name him the proper God. Writing a biography for Satan is nobody’s fare but a fool’s – perhaps trying to recapture a glory gone like mist – or else catch attention with fiction, and yet make money at the expense of misleading many.
But this kind of joke has earned zillions already. We have had one too many about “re-writes” on Jesus Christ and Judas. Such rewrites are merely twists of facts flavored here and there with convoluted imaginations. Now Kelly comes out with Satan.
How Kelly was able to transform Satan’s lore into a positive biography of a misunderstood hero is a puzzle – or may be not. He has tried to cosmeticize every bad name applied to Satan and is now trying to redirect meanings from negative to positive. Repeat them, Kelly, and as the evil one recommends, a lie now becomes truth.
At 72, one is at a geriatric stage supposedly conscious of meeting one's destiny and counting one's days. But no, Kelly is yet to fire a fresh salvo for one of his neoacts. True, the Bible has prophesied that God allows the good to continue and the evil to continue. However, what is there to come will come and nobody can stop it.
