[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wiki's description is very adequate:

"Satan[a] is an entity in the Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin. In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel, or a jinni, who used to possess great piety and beauty, but[b] rebelled against God, who nevertheless [i]allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons[/i][/b]."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan[/quote]

Yep. Thus, evil is also part of God's will and plan. [/quote]

No, it's not. God did not make Stan to rebel. Satan did it himself.[/quote]

God didn't know what Satan was going to do when he created Satan??[/quote]

It is blasphemous and irrelevant to be questioning God's mind. What is VERY relevant to us is to reject Satan's seduction. That is all that we need to be worried about since our salvation depends on it. [/quote]

Translation: Don't as questions, because they make you think uncomfortable thoughts.

Sorry pp. I was once religious too. I get the comfort it gives to people, but it makes absolutely zero sense. There's no point in explaining anything, because you will just go in circles of "don't question anything, we don't understand God."

Bottom line is, is that's impossible for any God to be monotheistic and the God of everything, and not the deliberate, willing God of evil, pain, suffering, kids getting cancer, etc. Either it's one God, or competing Gods. [/quote]

Do whatever you want. Don't believe. Search for your evidence. What ever you want. You have free will. You will bear the consequences of your thoughts, words, and actions not me.[/quote]

Ditto.

But then you don't belong in this thread, or any threads that discuss religion. You are clearly uncomfortable with discussing or thinking about things, since it's "blasphemous [...] to be questioning God's mind." Your belief is blind - and that's fine if that's what you want. But you don't belong in threads like these that are seeking to break things down and hash things out.

You don't belong here either. This is Religion forum that attracts religious people. If you are on the quest to "break down" people's faith you will meet resistance. Naturally.[/quote]

I don't think you understood my use of "break things down" - it means dissect. Critical thinking. There are people of faith that are open to critical thinking about their religion and the formation of beliefs. You are clearly not open to that dissection, because you believe it to be blasphemous. By all means stick to the threads that are confined to your structured belief system, but hashing things out is obviously against your belief system in the first place.

This specific thread ain't for you.

I'll do whatever I want. [/quote]

Sounds like Satan :twisted: [/quote]
