It's not a matter of intelligence, it's that I'd rather help someone who's polite and treats me with respect over someone who acts like a self-entitled child. I'd much rather help a smiling devil than a dogmatic god.
The devil tells you that you must defeat the BBEG
The part where you're screwed is that a lot of self-entitled people are good at faking respect for a short while. Especially if they've been doing it since the creation of mankind.
So you don't understand what "knowledge of good and evil" was supposed to mean, right?
Better than the god that goes "YOU SHALL SERVE ME"
not BTW
I'd still want something in return.
The devil wants your fucking RUIN as he does with all of humanity. Yes, he can be charming and kind on moments, but his endgame is human suffering and spiritual decay. His whole motivation is that his war against dad didn't work so now he spends the rest of eternity fucking shit up out of spite
The god is at least honest with his intentions and therefore trustworthy, fuckface.
>The god is at least honest with his intentions
Where did you learn how to read God's mind?
>charmed into giving up your immortal soul
Did you learn nothing from the fall of Eden?
Why would god ever lie when it would be easier to turn a falsehood into the truth?
>taking the middle road
Booo. You need to work inside the dilemma.
