Is there a Devil?

The Bible’s creative depictions of the human ego as the devil were never meant to be taken as literal portrayals of an actual horned, red-skinned demon dancing around with a pitchfork and a tail. Such imagery was crafted to personify an abstract concept—the human ego—in a vivid, memorable way, particularly for ancient audiences who relied heavily on symbolic storytelling. These dramatizations served to illustrate the internal struggles between higher consciousness and egoic impulse, not to present a literal villain lurking in the shadows.

To interpret these narratives as historical fact is to miss their deeper, intended purpose. Unfortunately, both theists and atheists often fall into this trap. Atheists may dismiss the Bible outright, pointing to stories like the Garden of Eden as implausible myths—and they’re right, in a literal sense. Of course there wasn’t a talking snake in a magical garden; the story was never meant to be a factual account. It is clearly an allegory, rich with symbolic meaning, addressing human nature, temptation, the loss of innocence, the embrace of our egos and the birth of self-awareness.

The presence of fantastical elements is the first clue that these narratives were designed to communicate spiritual and psychological truths through metaphor, not to serve as entries in a history textbook. To critique them as failed historical documents is to judge poetry for not being journalism.

Likewise, many theists err in the opposite direction—insisting that stories like Genesis must be literal, fearing that to view them symbolically might somehow undermine their faith or invite divine wrath. But nowhere in scripture is there a threat of eternal punishment for understanding allegory as allegory. The true danger lies in clinging to surface meanings and missing the profound wisdom buried within.

In truth, these ancient stories invite us into deeper reflection—not about snakes and forbidden fruit—but about the human condition, our spiritual evolution, and the eternal struggle between the ego and the divine self. To read them well is not to ask “Did this happen?” but “What truth is this trying to reveal?”

DOG FRIENDLY WALES: TENBY: The mediterranean-like wonder you need to visit!

DOG FRIENDLY WALES: TENBY: The mediterranean-like wonder you need to visit!

TENBY

Looking to visit Wales soon? Well, if you ever find yourself in the south of Wales, UK, we highly recommend the town of Tenby! Especially if you’re looking for a seaside escape!

Never have I found a place so beautiful and reminiscent of the coast of Mediterranean Italy in the UK!

I took Rocky here back in April 2019 when all the beaches are dog friendly! They allow dogs most of the year…

Can u translate what ogata extra thought when he heard tanigaki rifle fire??:)) thank you•

Technically no, sorry, as my Japanese is really poor... however...

I can have Google translate do the job as it’s a short sentence and I’m curious as well (please people don’t start asking me to translate longer sentences though as I’m definitely not up to it).

Now this is what Ogata said in the magazine version:

古い銃で使われるような黒色火薬の間延びした銃声...

‘Furui jū de tsukawa reru yōna kokushoku kayaku no manobi shita jūsei...’

Official scanlations went with:

“The sound of that gunshot... it was the more drawn-out report that comes from the black powder used in older rifles...”

A more litteral translation though would be:

“The drawn-out (gun) report of the black powder used in older guns...”

Why do we care? Because the additional bit basically apparently only add a line to that sentence so in the volume we have:

古い銃で使われるような黒色火薬の間延びした銃声が

ひとつ混ざっていた...

‘Furui jū de tsukawa reru yōna kokushoku kayaku no manobi shita jūsei ga

hitotsu mazatte it...’

“One drawn-out (gun) report of the black powder used in older guns was mixed together (with the other (gun) reports)”

Basically what it seems Google translate is trying to tell us is that what Ogata is saying is he heard many gunshots but, among them, there was one caused by black powder used in older guns.

In short Noda merely smoothed the sentence and made Ogata a little more amazing. Before it seemed he only heard that particular gunshot, now the text clarifies among many gunshots he identified that one.

At least that’s what I could make out from Google translate. You’ll need to ask to a more experienced translator for a better translation so I apologize for being mostly useless. Still thank you for your ask!

Another awesome day on our #Wales trip. Our first stop was the Green Bridge - a huge arch in Carboniferous limestone, then we went to #Stackpole Quay to see a fold and a fault. We then passed through #Manobier seeing the #castle and Devonian Old Red Sandstone before reaching #skrinklehaven , here we saw the Church Doors arch, a blow hole, a geo, impressive cliffs, an iron age fort and the Devonian/ #Carboniferous contact. We then left the #pembrokeshirecoast #nationalpark and paused for views of #Dryslwyn and #Dinefwr castles (both Welsh built) before reaching #Llandeilo for lunch. Llandeilo lends its name to the Llandeilo stage of the #Ordovician . After lunch we went underground in the #Roman #goldmines of #Dolaucothi this was followed by a visit to #Llandovery #castle noting the town lends its name to the #Llandovery epoch of the #Silurian. We then visited the oldest tree in Europe in #Defynnog in the #BreconBeacons National Park before arriving in #Brecon to spend the night. (at Dolaucothi Gold Mines)
