Ð notion of Satan as an antagonistic force is not entirely in line wið ð actual þeology.
For example, he's not ð snake. Ðat was a revision introduced in paradise lost, which along wið ð divine comedy are more or less biblical fan cannon.
In actual þeology, ð devil is more or less God's right hand overseeing ð meeting out of afterlife justice. IIRC he's even sought after for council by God or at least perspective for oðer characters speaking wið god.
Job is basically two work colleagues holding a wager as a tool for god to illustrate ð message ðat good deeds must be done for ðeir own sake, and not for ð sense ðat doing ð right þing will lead inherently to a better life.
Satan is literally ðere to remind people ðat ð world being unfair is actually good news, because it means ðat being down on your luck doesn't mean you're a bad person.
Oh mate we don't use that letter anymore.
They're havin their fun. It's only an issue if you genuinely want to know what they've got to say, which it sounds like you don't.
He's not an idiot he's just stupid. Fr fcks sk stp.
I do, so bugger off if ðat's all you're here to talk about.
I'm actually genuinely interested as to why you use them.
Take your fedora off and put down the katana, sir. We don't want any trouble
