The Crazy Diamond

Satan wasn't created evil. He was created perfect. That's what makes this terrifying.

This one’s different.

It’s in the style of Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell, the voice I listened to driving truck, overnight through Montana. Windows down. High beams cutting through nothing. Art Bell telling you things that made the hair on your arms stand up.

That’s what this is.

Forget the red suit. Forget the horns and the pitchfork.

That’s a cartoon. And that cartoon might be the most successful piece of propaganda in history.

The real story is worse.

Ezekiel 28 describes a being covered in nine precious stones. Built with musical instruments inside his body. Heaven’s worship leader. The closest any created being has ever been to God.

Perfect in beauty. Perfect in wisdom. Perfect in every way.

Until.

This is Satan’s origin story — the most brilliant mind in the universe going insane with pride.

And the strategy he’s been running for 6,000 years:

95% truth. 5% poison.

You won’t taste it going down.

8 minutes. Listen with headphones.
