Lost Worlds: The History of the Devil

The idea of Gods evil enemy has been around for thousands of years. While early Christian clerics used the Devil as a symbol of heresy, the concept did not begin with the Christian Bible, but rather in ancient Persia some 3500 year ago. Since then, he has acquired horns, a forked tail and innumerable names in all aspects of world culture as well as a central role in the way we think. The History of the Devil looks at how our concept of evil, as symbolized by the Devil, has evolved over the centuries to fit the needs of government, churches, demagogues and opportunists everywhere.

  • "Banish the devil"? "close down hell"? More like get rid of religion all together! Religion is the reason why we have wars and shit like that people don't kill in the name of the Devil they kill and JUSTIFY their killings in the name of their GODS!

  • As a history of western popular conception of Satan this is a very good documentary.

  • @gaudio16625r That is your opinion..? Why cant people just accept everyone for who they are..?

  • @SensibleStan When you look at the book of Enoch you have to wonder why it was not included in the bible. However the references to it make the book part of what was going on during very earliest times. These books may have been all to illustrated for the public when the bible was being put together. However I believe the bible is the word of God

  • @trueChaos23 TRUE We do not need Law or Religion.. its the root of ALL EVIL, Human Beings are BORN GOOD! we have to embrace that good and keep it!

  • LIES, The Devil isnt a Rebel of freedom, Hes The Power of this world "LAW & ORDER" man and female can live without law or religion "Peacefully" the bible was a warning of all this BUT obviously people are too greedy, weak and Brain washed to realise this TRUTH

    You Dont Need Religion Or Law to be GOOD, We are Human! WAKE UP!!!

    Long Live The True Good, Keep Life With Your Means NOT GREEDS

  • @gaudio16625r What is your thoughts on the gospels that did not get into the bible? The gospel of thomas, the gospel of Judas etc. Or even the book of Enoch?

  • @gaudio16625r Gee, maybe it's possible that the bible contains some "Political propaganda"?
