Oh you are completely right, Muman.
I just can't get over that some TV show cast a man who looks like Obama to be the "satan" of the Bible they are basing their show on. That actor looks like him and the jokes are just pouring in.
But as far as the real HaSatan, that is true what you say. I don't mean disrespect towards him. Was there not a Rabbi a long time ago who used to tell his students things about "HaSatan" and it angered the angel to t he point that one day he pretended to be a beggar and went to the old Rabbi. And while the rabbi sheltered him, HaSatan did something and yelled out "the rabbi has killed the beggar" and the poor rabbi had to flee.
I remember hearing about this in a lecture once, if only I could remember the story.
HaSatan is a figure that is elusive to me. I know he is the yetzer hara and the angel of death (I did not know of all 3 parts though just the first two). Who takes the soul out of the body. I hear that if someone is particularly evil in life, he will take out the body in a way that causes pain. And that he questions the souls while in the grave, which is said to be a very scary experience.
Like other angels, he will appear to us in ways that we could understand them.
Anyways, I can't get over the actor that looks like Obama. The producers say it is just a coincidence and that he does not look like him. But the resemblance is very similar- just one is older than the other. I thought I would add some humor to the post by comparing a picture of a fake satan to obama.
