Is it better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path?

I watched the Mummy the other day and enjoyed the discussion this comment from Beni, the little imp, created.

It is better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path.

So, what do you think?

And don’t lie to yourself, opposing the devil would not be an easy thing.

I am fairly sure I would kick the devil/evil forces all over the place.

And don’t lie to yourself, opposing the devil would not be an easy thing.

Good, I like challanges.

Depends on what way you want Sauron to be on your back.

What are you talking about ... I would be the devil they're talking about.

Or at least, I would be after I stabbed the real devil in the back and took his place.

Hm... from a theological viewpoint, I'd rather be in the way. Essentially, the Devil can't win, and being his right hand would put you on his side.

Yeah, it's a one horse race and its not a bet you want to lose, is it.

This is what always confused me about Satanists.

If the devil existed that would give me a cause.

The thing is, God allows the devil and hell to exist, at least that's what they want you to believe, so he can't be pure evil in the way he's usually portraited, or alternatively, God really ain't all that good.

As for joining or opposing, I'm undecided, depends on what he's offering
