To begin with one might think of evil as embodying a spirit of rebellion and being maybe even proud and heroic. One of the descriptions of Satan is “the accuser” because, to quote from elsewhere, he accuses us of our sins before God, and doesn’t want us to receive God’s grace and forgiveness. Repentance removes the hindrance between the fallen self and love, between impurity and purity. This just brought to mind the kind of child who squeals on other children to whatever relevant adult authority to try get other children into trouble. He is the accuser! What a total lack of dignity! Does such a pathetic creature feel no shame!?
“Ok Satan, I’ve heard you out but I forgive this child of mine because for all his sins, he acknowledges them and repents, and I love my children.”
“NO!!!! You can’t do that!!!”
“Goodbye.”
