This is what I was meaning yeah, "satan" wasn't meant to be an individual antagonist like a modern supervillain, more like the antithesis of the goodness of god, like a shadow is to light that casts it. There is no shadow, there is only light and places where it does not go

though I'm no christian scholar I'm mostly just regurgitating a video essay I saw like a year ago

Wasn't there a "Satan" or "Accuser" figure in the story of Job? Not in opposition to God, but tasked by God with testing man's faith or something? I going off half-remembered stuff I read years ago.

Edit: nevermind I misread the previous reply somebody already mentioned Job
