And so it begins. So I begin writing this, more for my own amusement over yours... but I write it mostly because it needs to be written. Most of you won't believe this, most of you will dismiss me outright, the few that don't though... the few that actually embrace my words. You are who I write for.
I am the devil. Lucifer, Satan, and other various names that's sprout up over time. Right now I call myself John. Other times it's been Justin, Samuel, Karl, Nikita, and etc etc. I could go on with that. Yes, I am the devil... and these shall be my memoirs. The words I decide to give to the masses. Words on creation, and ages long past. Words on everything ranging from the beginning to now. Words some of you may like, some of you may not. This isn't easy for me, I have to try to remember centuries and centuries of past lives, and you may think I'm infallible... just like god is. This isn't true, neither is.
I guess the best place to start is the beginning. The beginning from what I gathered was a cold and lonesome place, just like it is now for many. Cold lonesome and dark. Then God came into the picture. Yes, God is almost exactly as most would believe.... almost. Imagine it like this, your head manager for Research and Development at some pharmaceutical company. You get told what to do, get told what to try and create and watch what happens. Well, in a basic explanation that is what God is. All of you are an experiment, even me, Angels, Devils, the whole shebang. We're an experiment. Can life be created like ours? Can we be controlled? All that and more is on his list. We've answered most, but not all and so the experiment continues on.
I was created a long time ago as a check. A control. Archangels were the first of controls God implemented. Controls and hired help as it were. God isn't infallible, God doesn't see everything. We were his eyes and ears while he wasn't paying attention back then. The first angels became his Archangels as he created more and more eyes and ears as it were. Each weaker then the first, because he saw what we could do and we almost rivaled his power. His power you ask? His power for thought, free will. That's where he holds most control. We all have urges, guidelines we must follow. He doesn't. That's where his true strength comes in, yes he could kill each and every one of us in an instant and start over...but so long has passed. Like all of us, he isn't truly powerful.... he does age.
I digress though, this book isn't about God, it's about me. I was the first he created. The strongest, the most like him he ever made and ever will make. I am the devil as most of you has called me, why? I tried to stand up for all of you and you all made me out to be the proverbial bad guy. Do I dislike it? No. I don't dislike it anymore, back then maybe. Not anymore. I still fight for your lives, and I'm still the so called evil that pervades everyone, yet I still do what I do? Why? Because I like my existance. I don't wish to get scrapped because his experiment failed. I fight for you all, and yes I will explain it all later in this tome of my life, I fight because I am one of you. One that lives and breathes because of him. One that loves this life as much as you love yours. I've watched you all grow from the primordial soup as it were. You are all my children, I fight for you. I don't know what this book will do to change that, I don't know if this book will change anything. I needed to get it out though, I needed to let the people know. I needed to let you all know why it is as it is, and why it was as it was. I know, and I pass it on to you.
What you choose to do with this I don't care nor know. I do it for the few that will listen. I do it for the few that care. I do it for me.
