....doesn't he still send people there?
When you really boil the mythology down, Satan got thrown out because he was tired of being forced to worship a jealous, angry, hateful deity.
I mean, for fucks sake, the flood, whole cities killed off, plagues on innocent Egyptians (punishing a whole people for what one pharaoh did), and it can't be chalked up to "wickedness" because he fucked up Job's whole life on a bet.
These are not the actions of a benevolent being. No one deserves to be tortured forever, not even people like Hitler or Jack the Ripper, let alone good people who's only "crime" is disbelief.
When I lay it out and actually think about it, I come to the conclusion that Satan is the good guy in this myth.
