Satan in the Bible means an accuser, devil means a slanderer, not some monster opposed to God; the idea you believe that the Source of reality created a monster to fight against, shows you're more evil to assume that.

According to my understanding the accusers, and slanderers are in man, and man creates his own evils down here near Hell.

Most religious do not take on board their religious texts books around the world tell us we're down near Hell; so we're all like look at the evil insects (mosquitoes, etc), and evil animals (leeches, etc), and don't take on board we keep Hell Hounds as pets.

In my opinion. :innocent:

Well, in the Bible god says he creates evil, so that's one enormous strike against him

God chooses to endorse slavery, hardly a moral action. Ergo, god is an immoral deity. Another strike against god.

God, being omnipotent, can do away with Satan if he wanted to, but does not, so he purposely lets Satan seduces humans into sin or falsehood. Another strike against god

Satan can't help who he is, so that's one plus for him. One doesn't blame a rock for where it lies.

So all in all, ...God: evil
....................Satan: not evil at all. Just god's pawn

There is a tally of how many God killed according to the Bible, here...

Dwindling In Unbelief: How many has God killed? Complete list and estimated total (Including Apocryphal killings)

The figure of 25 million isn't a bad estimate; Satan has killed less than a handful IIRC
Satan has killed every person ever born and all those who are still yet to be born. Satan resides in the flesh of every man. And he resided in the flesh of Adam. And when Adam sinned, death has passed to all humans. Therefore, Satan is charged with killing everyone.

If God hadn't commanded Adam not to eat of the tree then there could have been no sin which would have led to Adam's sin killing everyone.
So, did God kill everyone by commanding Adam not to eat of the tree?

I already explained that, so really, it is an evil effort to state it again. ;) Did Satan make you do it? Or was it a choice like Adam?

Jesus isn't evil. Common misconception.

They couldn't even make up a satanic religion correctly, you think this is a good comparison?

Now, actual satanic religion, they can have good ideas, really. At least they're up front about it.

Well for information only
Our awareness of the reality of things is not limited to only one sense

Let's say
You can touch something that is (gives you a positive, comfortable feeling)
But if you taste it, it can kill you because it's toxic

I mean here to make sure the information is safe, we must study it and understand it more deeply and intrinsically and not superficially

The Bible is a book revealed from God
But the true Bible survived as it is? I mean texts
Have the wicked taken over the Bible and added things to achieve political goals? Or to destroy the religion of God, which led by the Israelites of that period
Is it misunderstood and with the large number of translations and transfers deviated some meanings

Hitler did not reflect the culture of the Germans
Further, some false information in the Scripture has been tampered with and that does not mean that the corrupt part reflects God's view

No one can prove that speech has not been manipulated or made additions

If Satan opposes the violent and jealous Yahweh, that's a good thing, IMO.

How do you justify the millions he killed or ordered killed in the OT?

Bible tells God kills, or death is for evil/violent/unrighteous people.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Mat. 25:46

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

God is the one who has given life, so I think He has the right to decide how long it lasts. And because He gives eternal life for those who are righteous, I think there is nothing wrong. I don’t think there is any good reason to allow evil to continue forever. And actually, I don’t think God would have responsibility to give eternal life even for righteous.

People don’t give life, people only multiply/procreate. If human thinks he can give life, I welcome him to grave yard to demonstrate his abilities and give life to the dead.

That man fertilizes ovum is not giving life, when the cells already has life on its own, because body is designed to produce living cells.

Only God can give life and that gives Him the right also to decide how long life He gives. And I think there is nothing to complain, we have done nothing why we would deserve more than what God gives.

Wouldn't that make your god neither good nor bad since he doesn't have any sort of moral responsability or standard to keep?

In the same way, does an apothetical Satan who wishes harm to human is under any moral responsability toward those humans?
