The Devil's Advocate

"I departed boldly unto to meet the devil.
What I was greeted with was so in conflict with all repute...
... small wonder, considering the source."
- Me
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to take a liberty.
I am going to dispense a bit of my own personal experience and insight.
What I am about to dispense is going to fly in the face of countless traditions, stories, media (popular and non-), and material.
<clears throat for effect>
The 'Devil' you have been told of - as the focal point of most occult traditions - is the Divine Feminine.
I'll put it a different way; the Female represents the dark side.
Now! Before anyone brandishes pitchforks and torches, let me explain,....
The Feminine is the keeper of Resolve, and the Dark side of the force is the Force 'unrestrained, raw, passionate', etc. Now, I could suggest that the prosecution might be able to rest on that statement alone, I have found the exhaustive method is more effective; though I will detail more, this one post will be vastly insufficient and this will not be my final word on the matter.
First, I would like to address the issue of reputation, and I shall do so rhetorically. I realize the inadmissibility of rhetoric in a courtroom,... but the courtroom is the domain of the Reason. Therefore, in order to make a truly impartial observation (or at least, as unbiased as is humanly possible) the reader will be required to take a step back.
For ease and simplicity, I will start with the Abrahamics.
What is a Sin? Christianity - who have no monopoly on sin - with their '7 deadlies', and Islam is most specific and tyrannical about what is or isn't kosher (ha! see what I did there?). Running with the 7, let me ask you this; while admitting and allowing that any of those list can be observed to be non-conducive when taken to excess, are not all 7 the basis of all human enjoyment?
Leisure (Sloth)? Sens-/sexuality(Lust)? Love(Pride)? Nutritional Sustenance(Gluttony)? Righteous Opposition(Wrath)? Competition(Envy)? Accomplishment(Greed)?
Again I reiterate - all things in moderation and nothing to excess - but the responsibility of passion is discipline rather than repentance.
Understand the symbolism inherent; the 'devil' (I'ma keep referring so, to further dispel the negative stygma) does not 'forgive sins'.
When one errs (trespasses) they are rightly held accountable and are expected to learn from it. There are no 'whoopsie's, 'sorry's, or 'my bad's,... and yet the devil is the first to accept a sincere and responsible admission of fault!
However. Do not lie to the devil or you will be destroyed. It is not the lie for which you will be destroyed, but the lack of honesty and resolve to deceive for which you will be held to account.
Recognize: The devil does not break nor contracts engage false ones; only the counter-parties do that. I'll come back to this.
Answer me this: How does one acquire an ignominious reputation as is enjoyed by the devil? Well, I would venture to guess that one who exists in a backward and mind-controlled society - and is aware of it - knows quite well what it is like perceiving something and being the exception and/or gross minority.
In fact, when one allows for the dubious credibility of surviving populations (who tend to do so by massive reproduction - of the 'real winners' of the population X_X - and/or outright war,...) and their want to provide both sides of an issue, it seems readily APPARENT to me why a force/archetype/entity/union/however-you-DON'T-slice-it which in TRUTH is and represents all that it is and represents would be so readily and consistently maligned by a thought-form-presence-(awareness?).
