Would you free the devil?

New dream I had a few weeks back.. I found myself in hell ... The people was asking me for help, so I drew them a child like poster with a very big arrow pointing the way out to a door.. At that moment the chains dropped off them and they were free.. They could not believe it was so easy to leave... As the last person left the devil grabs my leg and told me. "You freed my slaves; now you will stay and take their place." this is the question...... A : do you leave the devil in his own hell ? B : do you put a chain on him and free him too with conditions? C : do you free him from his own chains and let him go free also? ------ what do you think Gandhi would do? ..... even more ....What would you do?

@eclipsia Fact:
If the Devil is the opposite of God, (unfortunately, there can be different meanings of that, so let's use the Kindergarten version) then the Devil would not have any decency at all. What would be the point of kindness to an abomination without a core of goodness, unlike our mortal world?

Lovely picture. C Free him!!!!. Every one wants to be free. Just like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and martin Luther king.

I can no more conceive of a devil than I can of a god.

... that depends on what hell is and what the devil is... if it's like Dante's inferno, where god is vengeful, the devil is truly wicked, and torment is always just, then no... that would be stupid, because you'd bring about something horrible... but what is his side of the story? Why was he there? Why were the people there? Is god right? ... circumstances always get in the way.

It is my role to forgive those who do me wrong personally. Forgiving evil generally is God's business. I prefer to stay out of God's business.

i think Gandhi would keel over from excessive hunger, and sell you a slurpie from his 7-11

I'd tell him he has no hold on me, regardless of his hand on my leg. I'd then give him the sign and tell him only he can free or restrain himself, and here is the way if he chooses to do so.

gandhi would reason with him and release his chains

Ive discovered that all my interpretations are just projections of whatever is going on inside myself. And I can make anything fit to it. Somebody was telling a story and I interpreted it according to myself and made everything fit. I actually though she was speaking about me and what was going on in that situation. But it had absolutely nothing to do with me. My mind was just playing trips with me. I think it has absolutely nothing to do with the devil, gandhi or whatever.

Sorry if I'm slightly off-topic, but something in another post made me think of this Firefly quote from Shepherd Book, and I thought it would be more appropriate here. " If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of Hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

I would point to the very big arrow and show him the way out. But would he accept? Would he be able to push aside his pride and leave hell knowing that the only reason he got out is because someone showed him grace?

You can't trust the devil, even if he really doesn't exist for real. Welcome back. Missed you. I see you have been off deepening yourself even more than usual.

Whoa, this is trippy. I think Gandhi would tell you to lay off that whacky weed.
