yes
Younger me would have said "I am the devil" but I've realized how retarded that is.
True.
From what people are told of the devil in this mortal life, and how the fallen is synonymous with sabotage unforgiveness lies murder sin etc, they seem to think when they're on their deathbed, they'll be in good hands.
If people can't get God right, do you think they'd understand the devil that much better?
Of course, it's just behavior masquerading behind symbology. If you take it literally or seriously, you fall into it's own trap. It's just a recognition of human nature. People seem to love dichotomy in order to get their bearings.

I think even for an atheist they can identify how good and bad deeds impact us and others. It's then a matter of being good or bad anyway.
Regardless of ones believe, the 10 commandments are very suggestive and promote functionality, if not disorderly and will have one incarcerated, or destroyed in some way/
It's almost what I just said. It's team sports when we start dressing it up in mythology. Divested of archaic and outdated cultural artifices, there one finds the salient qualities to explore. However, packaging it with narrative force is a kind of data compression. We just need to find a better way of encryption, without the noise in the signal from other stuff.
Might be worth officially noting: I'm not an atheist.

I think my reasoning was more like, I was relishing in all the decadence and sin the world had to offer and considered "the devil" to be a made up construct.
Damn if that edgelord attitude didn't made Alice wet though. In another universe I wonder if I would have ever diverted from that path.

I knew that. Whenever someone claims they believe in a higher power, I remember that about them for life.
