Sympathy for the Devil

Konon komunitas Yahudi pernah melobby sebuah stasiun TV Amerika yang ingin menayangkan sebuah filem ttg Hitler. Argumennya: kalau Hitler difilmkan maka ia jadi lebih manusiawi dan orang bisa jatuh simpati (bukan kartu HP lho). Hitler harus tetap dipersetankan agar yang setan tetap setan bia perlu lebih disetankan

Saya jadi ingat lagu Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil" (syair dibawah ini) 

Please allow me to introduce myself

Im a man of wealth and taste

Ive been around for a long, long year

Stole many a mans soul and faith

And I was round when jesus christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I stuck around st. petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a generals rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah

Ah, whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

I shouted out,

Who killed the kennedys? 

When after all

It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

Im a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But whats confusing you

Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me lucifer

cause Im in need of some restraint

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse

Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, um yeah

But whats puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

Woo, who

Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah

Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, whats my name

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, whats my name

I tell you one time, youre to blame

Ooo, who

Ooo, who

Ooo, who

Ooo, who, who

Pertanyaan saya:

(1) 

Setan itu konon Lucifer yang mantan malaikat belum pernah tahu diayat mana ini ditulis

BTW: ada yang tahu ? Yang tahu bukan anak buah setan lho 

(2) 

kalau setan universal dan semua agama menyebut ini (well at least agama samawi) kenapa Tuhan tidak universal ? (sekali lagi agama samawi) tiap agama beda approachnya...pada Tuhan yang sama ?

(3) 

Kenapa setan menggoda ? For what ? benefitnya apa ? supaya neraka penuh ? lalu kalau penuh apa ? dalam kerangka dialektika boleh juga ditanya tanpa setan maka tidak perlu ada surga, jadi setan adalah "necessary evil"

(4) 

Setan itu diciptakan ? at least dibiarkan hidup? kenapa ?
