My hypothisis is that Twain wrote this as an opposition to the traditional Abrahamic God. God's definition is a being of pure righteousness and virtue within Christian theology. What makes Twains adaptation of Satan horrifying is his cunning. Traditional adapters would have portayed Satan as the opposite to God, simply evil and flawed. (ala the big red devil with a pitchfork). However Twain uses the character in a facinating way. He abjectivly creates the true antithisis of God, the frigid horror of faithlessnes. Istead of fronting his evil, Satan manifests it though his actions. Human evil is never as cartoonish as Satan was portrayed. Twains version is much more realistic. He lies, veils himself with kindness with comfort, even showing virtue when he even tells the kids to avoid danger. However his actions are truely monsterous, unfeeling, and cold. When morality is rejected, only evil remains. True evil is born not from hatred or malice, but indifference. 

You murdered them!
>Never mind them... People are of no value.

TLDR: Yes, he lied. Twain crafted a masterfull adaptation of the advesary. The nagging thought that we are meaningless and that nothing matters

How, when the character in question literally refers himself as not only an angel, but Satan? It coincides with biblical scripture.

Im talking about the character itself; the voice lines, the dialouge, and actions. Twain wrote the character (Satan) using scripture as his basis. 
Satan, is classically a rejection of the morality portrayed by God. In adaptation Twain wrote Satan as the advesary, the opposition of God. Now HOW thats done is whats masterfull here.

Thanks for proving my point.


But the Bible itself calls Satan the
>ruler of the world
Not to be confused with the Creator. To imply Satan is anywhere near close to God to consider him an adversary is comical.


Once more, my beliefs are a result of direct experience with the spiritual, not solely pertaining to Christianity, because I have experienced other aspects of what could be implied as a spiritual experience.

Once more, it's not a coincidence that an obvious retard's 'direct experience with the spiritual' perfectly aligns with the dominant religion of his locality. 
Is it conceivable that Christianity is actually correct and it really is just a coincidence that you were born into Christendom and you really did come around to it through the discriminating power of your independent intellect? Yes, such things are technically possible. Is it way more likely that given the intellectual powers you've routinely displayed throughout the thread that you're only a Christian because everyone else around you is and it's the only religion you've had any serious exposure to? What do you think?

And you have the nerve to call me a retard when I already clarified

But you are so mad right now that you can't think straight and forgot that part.
