The Devil stood up for his freedom. God's followers are the real pussies.

Not just his. He stood up for all humanity!!
God wanted mindless, obedient drones, Satan wanted humanity to choose their own path, so he gave them freedom and wisdom. THAT is the real story of the fruit of the tree.

Exactly. God didn't want humans to have their own knowledge of good and evil. But Satan encouraged humans to obtain this knowledge by eating the forbidden fruit, and in doing so, he liberated mankind from blind obedience. When humans obtained a conscience of their own, they gained the ability to think for themselves.
