When I was younger, I remember asking why Satan was “bad”. And they gave me all sorts of interpretations like he tortures people and he lives in the firey hells. And I kept pointing to bible stories where God does the same damn thing.
The worldbuilding is very shoddy because too many authors worked on the canon over far too long a period. Even accounting for the “New Testament” sequel, it’s retcons on top of retcons. The “Islam” spinoff at least managed to start with a clean slate, despite several callbacks to the prequels.

The contradictions are constant.
