Yes, you're right, there IS such a thing as legitimate moral indignation. Just like there's such a thing as legitimate sexual desire, legitimate piety, etc.

But these things can get distorted. Desire get distorted into self-centered out-of-control lust, piety into smug self-satisfied "churchiness," good moral indignation into kind of titillated "Oh, that's so outrageous. I wanna smite those guys. Tell me more, tell me more!"

Satan is totally un-creative. He can't create a "damn" thing. All he can do is glom onto something good that God made, and pervert it.

“Satan is totally un-creative. He can’t create a “damn” thing. All he can do is glom onto something good that God made, and pervert it.”

Truth.
