why is the devil mostly portrayed as red, with horns, and ugly?

the real devils are actually black but when I tell people that they say "go back to /pol/"

Idk, he's a rebel. Maybe he makes himself ironically ugly.

>>19441891
Angelic propaganda. People wont follow someone that is terrifying beyond belief, and back then people were scared of EVERYTHING. He's as handsome as ever with no physical contact with our world.

>>19441891
Because the christfags incorporated aspects of pagan gods, particularly Bacchus, on picturisations of "satan" as a propaganda campaign to stomp out native religions as the roma empire expanded.

Honestly, he can probably change the way he looks. He's a master deceiver pulling many tricks. I'm sure this involves having many faces.

If his fall did not make him ugly as of result, then perhaps his true face really is beautiful. He, for sure, was beautiful back when he was an angel.

lost his beauty when he turned from God and came corrupted

he didnt want to be what god saw as beautiful. He was the first SJW.

>>19442068
so you just shitpost without substance?

>>19442367
Horns are a symbol of a nation's strength. His nature got inverted hence the rogue appearance. Literally turning day to night.

>>19442432
Wow, nice observation. 10/10.

>>19441891
Because the corruption of evil, waging a war against God and his armies, and being damned to burn in Hellfire for an eternity leave a mark on you. The devil can assume any form in front of humans, but his real form is not beautiful, not in the slightest... Not anymore.

Because the imagination of the demiurge isn't very brilliant.

>>19441891

Satan ≠ Lucifer

>>19443506
Devil ≠ Either

>>19441891
Medieval imagery depicting pagan forms to identify the devil. Just marketing bro, the church is like a big company, with their ads in churchs and so.

These depictions did not come around until way later and demons were painted as grotesque. (Think 16th century, somewhere around there). A good comparision is that Morgoth from the Lord Of The Rings was a beautiful being but only after he was going to some final battle did he put on dark, intimidating, spiked armor to appear evil.
Luciferians most likely focus on his angelic form because they think he dindu nuffin. Satanists are edgy atheists so they love the evil, new age imagery.

>The whole concept of the devil's character is to appear angelic and positive but have terrible intentions and trick his victims

Because "the Devil" and Satan are separate entities.

2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Satan isn't always going to reveal himself as a hideous figure. He is the greatest deceiver and can present himself as beautiful to trick people.

>>19441891
Really just Christianity. Kek.

>>19442454
Horns and such would in this case be for satyrs most likely.
Usually seen as lust beasts etc. Also where cloven hooves come from.

>>19441891
Red is potentially from blood, violence, anger, passion etc. It's relatively recent that the devil was viewed as red anyways.

The idea is, regardless of his outward appearance, this is what your dealing with. Your greatest enemy will hide in a place where you would never look. Hello /x/. Long summer.

>>19444146

yeah IMO that always made more sense, as I said earlier, it's much easier to be tricked by beautiful people than someone that looks like a monster

It's about a race of extremely Satan-esque aliens that come to earth and help all the people, making generations of peace and global unity and prosperity. After establishing the NWO age of utopia, Karellan (((Satan))) the leader of the race, tells humanity that all the children will now be gone and humans will all be rendered sterile. This happens instantaneously and humanity is left in it's last generation. The 'Overlords' as they're called, say that humanity is allowed to peacefully live out its' last days with no conflict.
It is a great tale of how a trickster or villain does not need to ever hurt others or directly cause problems (quite the opposite) but ultimately has a horrific, yet subtle, goal in mind. In the show, the revealing of the Alien is an amazing moment, and he is flanked by two children, a boy and girl, much like the baphomet statue in New York.
It's also a great display of what could come, as our media prepares us for an alien race that would 'bring spiritual enlightenment' or whatever. Do not trust what comes from the sky and says it's your friend.

The horns, tail, and goat legs are from the Greek god Pan, who, while isn't considered evil in any way (and governs over nature), is a trickster and rules of sexuality.

He originally was the snake in the garden of eden, then in the form of a man in other places, all in the old testament of course.
In the new testament he was often a dragon.

In Devilman, Satan is portrayed as a beautiful hermaphrodite angel.

Most angels are actually described as pretty horrific beings when it comes to their appearance. Idk about lucifer specifically.

How come this question even needs to be asked? Isn't it really, really obvious to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of history, religion or just basic common fucking sense?

>>19441891
Paganism. It was how parents. And much other pagan gods and creatures are portrayed. So the church represented the devil like that to make the pagans look bad.

satan, the devil, and lucifer are not synonymous. Lucifer (Lushifar) was in fact one of the "angels" (sort of the same species but not the same as "god"), but due to a very long story involving betrayal, he basically formed a vendetta against "god" (Anunakene) and his "angels" (Karistus, Kuurs, and any other race teamed up with them). The idea that he has horns comes from the ship Lushifar used to ride around in. The engines resembled the shape of horns, and they spewed massive fire when lifting off, which is where both the horns and the idea of flames being associated with the devil came from. People would say, "behold, the horns of lushifar!". Don't know where the "red" came from, maybe just from the fire.

Don't know exactly what Devil and Satan came from other than the word devil literally being d'evil or "of evil" (to put it simply). If I were to guess I would say the word Satan came from the snakes aka the reptillians. And since the reptillians created just about every major religion (including "christianity" aka "Kyrist-ianity") I would imagine the reptiles merged "The Devil" "Satan" and "Lucifer" in order to furthermore confuse us humans into never understanding ourselves.

>>19441891
I don't think that's ugly at all.

"The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”

>>19449343
Actually, Lucifer is Venus, but your right because the planets ARE the angels. You see, Lucifer (or the beings of venus) wanted to be like the most high, or the father, which is Sol. That is why Venus has the highest frequency resonance of all the planets, and also why Venus spins clockwise while all the other planets spin counterclockwise (the core of the sun spins clockwise). But they pretty much rendered Venus uninhabitable so the people of Venus came to earth to escape their scorching hot atmosphere. That's why they say Lucifer was banished to the Earth, because the Venus aliens fled here.

Sure sounds crazy, right? You don't know the half of it rofl...

Fun fact, in one version of the tale of Moser, God said that he would manifest a mere avatar of his existence within reality before Moses behind a mountain range, and if he could withstand even the barest light from it being obscured, then he would be worthy to 'see' God. When the avatar manifested the entire mountain range exploded, and Moses was knocked unconscious.

seems we're on different paths all together. Everything I said is a summed of version of what I have learned about Lushifar, and the version I learned was also a summary. Basically, what I said originally is about 1% of the information available on this subject. All based on people and is very literal, not symbolic or whatever your version of this subject is.

Where did you read all this about the planets and people of venus btw? It's not too far fetched to me, considering I know/believe there are "people" living on Jupiter, and their enemies live on Saturn.

I'll stick to the primordial love Goddess. At least she's timeless, and it's easy to see how she fits into the ultimate holographic realty and up and down through the multiverse/metaverse.
