The Gospel According to Judas - A Handbook on Life

In Tolkien’s Ainulindalë, in the creation of the world, Morgoth introduces his own themes into the music primordial. It is an interesting notion, one that would explain some of the things, how some things are, on our green world. What makes this notion something more than a curiosity is something I heard, almost overheard, that pain was not created by the God who is love. It was rather Satan’s idea. Could this be true? Also was the notion of a world where we live by the rules made by the Devil. Upon conceiving of this possibility, I thought I heard the Lord say, “Welcome to life.” More than curious?
