[ WP ] The devil is actually the good guy of the story .

It was never supposed to be this way. 
 
 The one you call'God' was never supposed to be the one in charge. In fact, neither of us was. 
 
 But you would n't know that, would you? 
 
 See, things were meant to be quite simple. Humans, roads, the internet... maybe it would have come in time, but believe me when I say - after this much time gone by since the dawn of creation,'Humanity' would sit among the stars. Make use of their power and unlock all those juicy secrets. Faster than light travel, immortality... the cure for the common cold. It could have been so easy. Probably. I mean, maybe. 
 
 What happened? Well. 
 
 Good and I, we were somewhat equal... he did have an edge in power, but at the same time, he's a bit of a narcissist. 
 
 `` We will make great beings, and they will be in our image! They will revere us and live by our rules! They will be obedient, and virtuous!'' 
 
 Well, I suppose that does sound nice in theory... just not to me. See, I always was a fan of choice. Coincidence, and choice. So a deal was made - he might design you, and I might change but one thing. 
 
 So things progressed, until eventually, we were ready. Or, He was ready. And once he was done, I added but one quality. Not sin, not temptation, not even malice or hate. I gave you curiosity. 
 
 Curiosity, as it happens, can be a very powerful force. It made Eve take that oh-so-fateful bite you no doubt have heard of, it made Columbus find America and it made Einstein figure out how to split an atom. 
 
 And it sure made'Him' angry. So angry that I was branded as the devil, the root of all that is evil in the world, the reason for your suffering and the source of your fear and hate... by now, I would have hoped you curious bunch learned that history is only written by the winners, but I suppose you need more time. 
 
 Who knows, maybe you just might manage not to fuck up this planet to the point you can no longer live on it after all? 
 
... did I ever interfere? Once, at the beginning. When I gave you curiosity. Beyond that? No. Neither did He. Every example of good or bad in this world, it's all. You. Not God, not the Devil. You. 
 
 Does that make me good? 
 
 Does it make god evil? 
 
 You tell me.
