<small>(there should be something relevant in this post, but I really don't feel like it at the moment. I don't feel like simply saying wishes either, so will everybody please look at the three dots and mentally replace them with whatever wishes suit your fancy. Even if you want to wish me drop dead, knock yourselves out; at this stage, I really don't care)</small>

I think that you misunderstand - Prof Kelly used to be a Jesuit. He's one of these random dudes who comes out with wacko ideas
The idea of the Satan not being EVIL, strictly speaking, is hardly a wacko idea. First of all, latin name of the Satan: Lucifer. Means "Bearer of Light." His/her/its entire purpose is to make God's rule stronger by posing hypothetical and actual challenges, like Job.
Plus, you know, the whole being cast out of heaven and bound is all part of the Book of Enoch, which is neither jewish or christian canon. I'm unaware of any direct references to hell as a prison in the original canonical bible, but I'm sure fett knows more than I about that and he can feel free to correct me.
And apparently there is a mass market edition of the most complete restoration of the Gospel of Judas, but it's a bear to read, because there are still a lot of gaps due to the condition of the only surviving manuscript.

On Good Friday, we didn't do the stations of the cross, but I did always check for the apocryphal darkening of the sun around 3:00 P.M., when Jesus supposedly died
did you properly adjust the time of day that you checked for the difference in time zones between wherever you lived and Israel? ;)

So... the devil was just playing devil's advocate? :ebil:

Note to all drunkards: Easter Vodka. Foul as hell, cuts down like devil. It's a hot vodka with butter.
