Philosophy: would you consider a satanic being, a sadist, crazy?
Let's say there is a Holy God and an enemy called "the devil" by many. That being would surely be an extreme sadist. My beliefs are that satan has power more so than anyone cares to admit. And that he uses this preternatural power to mutilate man in hell. (I'm a dystheist; I don't believe in a Holy Father type of God. I believe he is truly saidistically ruthless as hell. And omnipotent and eternal.)
Would you consider satan, whether he be god himself, or an adversary of a Good God, would this supernatural sadist be crazy? Can sadists be called crazy, or are they just pure evil?
(The DSM doesn't include Sadistic Personality Disorder, but the ICD 10 does.)
Also, I ask here because I know I will not recieve real answers in R&S. Just people saying he doesn't exist or that I need religion (because of my dystheism). But my dystheism isn't resentment or a delusion or rebellion. It's based in reality.
Lynnmarie, feel free to answer. I like your answers. Theyre calming.

There's nothing real about it, not objectively, anyway. It's your subjective opinion / experience and it cannot stand up to rigorous philosophic scrutiny. I won't ridicule you idea since you are entitled to your beliefs, but it won't surprise me if you get torn to shreds by the trolls and militant atheistds here
