Part 4/8:
A thought-provoking question arises: Is Satan truthful in claiming dominion over the world? Some argue that this his offer represents a manipulation of truth. This interpretation brings to mind the idea that evil, by its nature, is self-destructive—a reflection of philosopher Alfred North Whitehead's assertions about the inherent collapse of malevolence.
When the devil's power is examined, it becomes clear that the kingdoms he offers are merely shadows of true authority; they lead to a kingdom indistinguishable from hell. The moral degradation embodied by figures like Hitler reinforces this depiction of power devoid of virtue—its ultimate trajectory is self-destruction.
