And the difference between polytheistic religions and Christianity is that instead of having a god of archery and a god of prostitutes, Christianity has a patron saint of archery and a patron saint of prostitutes. Totally different!

Depends how Roman catholic you are

One branch has patron saints. Most others have one dude be the god of 'good' and one dude the god of 'bad'.

Satan isn't a god, and God is in fact the god of good and bad - of everything

Lore-wise, yes. They both play roles that would be called gods in more polytheistic religions.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
