taking away the sins of the world

Some may be interested in my thread
“taking away the sins of the world”
on talk.religion.misc .

On it I use the example of Jesus being tempted
by Satan in the wilderness. However I don’t
believe in a fallen angel Satan who rules the
Earth, but that Gaia (Earth), one of my eight
main deities, rules itself. But I do define
EVIL2 as the someone with lowest goodness
measure as defined by God, who (God) I define as
the ruler of the region all/everything.

However I do think that Lucifer was a human avatar
type similar to me, Jesus, Rama, Krishna, Buddha,
Quetzalcoatl, Glooskap, Adonis, Dionysus,
Amergin, Taliesin (Gwion), and many others.
(I don’t think there have been any women avatar
types but the primary inspirers of the avatar types
have been women, and I call those devi types,
and of course there are also some standalone
significant women figures.)

It would be funny if Lucifer’s primary siddhi was
matchmaking like mine, since lucifer is a term
for a kind of match. (There are some abilities
in common to all avatar types but each avatar
type also has a primary siddhi, and I think
Jesus’s was healing, Amergin’s was weatherworking,
and mine is matchmaking.)
