That’s fair. I do get annoyed at other comments like “if you didn’t figure out how to resolve the Paradox of Tolerance the first time you saw it, you’re fascist”. It doesn’t leave room for people to grow.

He’s not white, but other than that, I thought these points were obvious. You’re not supposed to like him.

It’s retconned that way. There’s nothing that directly connects the serpent of Genesis, the one “roaming throughout the earth” in Job, and the character of Satan later on. Satan wasn’t developed as a character until after the Babylonian Exile. You can make it all fit, but the text alone doesn’t say that and the writers didn’t think of it that way.

Get this: there’s some people who think it’s canon that the serpent is Satan. Just connecting up two characters from different parts of the writing completely at random.
