huh? Let me explain this again cuz i think theres a miscommunication. God personally was responsible for the murder of roughly 33,000,000 people.

Ah, u mean the plagues and all that from the old testament ?
Hmmm..now, who is responsible for dying at the coast by a tsunami ?
The ones settling there or the tsunami ?
Maybe the 'land', as it's provoking people for a good settlement there ?

There are several factors which are responsible for all of those things, including the ones you mentioned here.

Or maybe the devil comes as an angel of light like the Bible says and commands people to do awful acts in God's name? Maybe the biggest deception the devil ever pulled off was convincing the world he doesn't exist....or even that all religions might be right, there can really be only one right way. Since there are 2 Billion Christians and 2 billion muslims I would say the right way is probably one of the two. I made my choice and my life drastically changed for the better, but not til I let my opinions go and took it for what it is...Truth.

Since everything I have asked for I have gotten and since it was all in His name...I am proud to say I am down with Jesus! Let the flaming begin...lol

But He took me from a junkie to owning a 6 figure biz that is going to become an empire in the near future...so regardless of what anyone can say, I get the last laugh since I am the one prospering and walking in God's favor, y'all should try it some time...

Interesting enough, the tsunami destroyed the epicenter of the worlds 3 religions that persecute Christianity the most, coincidence? Now the church has grown like crazy over there and their economy is better than it was in years from all the aid and new buildings...so a lot of good came out of it in the end.

Is that what prompted you to make this thread?

Sounds like something religious people would do. :thumbup:

Nope. I just turned the TV on right now and it was on.

"It didn't take long for people to grow uncomfortable with the existential dilemma of giving thanks to the same diety who is also responsible for all the trouble in life" - hence the creation of the devil. so the creation of the devil allows people to worship something that is pure good.

"Satan is a coping mechanism for monotheists" - how they deal with evil in the world

This is actually prety interesting

Damn, what a coincidence that you make a thread titled 'god v. devil' a day before a special on the History Channel titled 'God vs. Satan' airs. :eek:

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

if lucifer is the light-bearer doesn't that seem like the name of someone you'd want to follow?

Seems like a term for a beacon almost, follow the light?

and if god is all loving whyy would he cast satan out at a time when he would seemingly need his help most?

so god is like smiting people here, drowning people there, makin other people kill people, etc.

Seems like God has killed more people than the devil? So who is really the devil?


A liberator.

The light bringer.


And man kinds scape goat for Gods short comings.
