I'm sure Satan's not such a bad guy.

I know you probably say this because you don't believe in the Bible. But for instance pretend it is true. You have this angel a powerful angel mind you that wanted his bosses job. Well his boss said no and he cuzzed a fuss and the boss God kicked him out of heaven(where it was awesome like beverlely hills to a place similiar to compton in comparison) So now he the devil is pissed off.
Fast foward, God decides to start mankind His creation. The Devil hates God and tempts His creation(because God made them the Devil hates them) to do something God told them not to do.
The Devil know that he has a short time to try to deceive as many people as he can to not follow God and burn in hell with him for eternity as the final blow against God the creator.

Curling, you never answer my question that I keep trying to ask you.
What happens if there really is a bad and good spirit out there, but it turns out you are following the wrong one.
What if it turns out that the God that you have been worshipping is just a devil in disguise and this is all just a trick to see if you are smart enough and worthy of the real heaven?
I mean, doesn't it make sense that the bad guy would tell you how great the place is he wants you to go and say that the other place is awful?
It is in his favor to make it sound great, whereas the place that really is fantastic doesn't have to advertise at all.
I'm just curious how you are certain you are following the right thing.

Ok Martha, now that is quite imagination you have. Did you smoke your breakfast this morning? Just playing.
On to your question...The reason your scenerio is not a plausable one is because of ease of it. It is easy to live life wickedly. I mean you don't you want when you want. What would be the challenge of that? Anyone can sin, it takes faith on God not too. Another thing is the Bible has been around a long long time and has stood the test of time. Whereas your theory was probably made up as you typed it.
btw Is that what you believe? Oh and sorry I haven't got back to you sooner on it.

So basically the gist of it is that if something is hard to do, it is better than something that is easy to do.
Backed up by the fact that there is a book about it that has been around for a really long time.
Sounds good to me.
So if it is hard to kill an entire race of people - say all Jews - then that is better than not killing anyone (which is very easy - I am doing that right now).
There is a book about it - but maybe it hasn't been around long enough.
I have to go finish smoking my Cheerios.

Satan loves mankind!! Didn't you watch The Devil's Advocate???
Basically, just paste copy and paste the amazing speech Al Pacino gives at the end of the movie, about "never judging them... I'm a fan of man!! Always giving them what they want." It won me over!
Al Pacino is Satan, I'm sure of it, and if he is, Satan must be quite a fly guy.

Well yea basically. Look at working out for example since we all do that. If it was easy everybody would do it. And the reward (having a ripped big body) wouldn't the reward it is now because everybody would have one. You see not very many people will see Heaven in camparison to the world history of population. Because the gate is narrow. Oh and the Bible has been around a long time with no errors in prophesy.
You mind explaing further you lost me.
I didn't know smoking cheerios worked. I heard about the banana peels but cheerios?

definitely there. it resides in a different dimension, so it can move about in your dimension without touching anything.
it is invisible and also has no mass.
it is really really big though.
and it is only in your garage.
you have probably seen signs of it at times - it likes to warn people of things, or give advice.
you didn't know at the time that it was there helping you out, but it is.
if you go back over some things in your life, you can probably see pretty obviously that the dragon was there and helped you out.
tonight, when you go home, stand on your tiptoes and wave your arms around while saying your thanks to it.
the dragon loves that.

I once read a short story of a well-dressed, handsome European-looking gentleman who was talking on a train with a European business. He spoke of how he has been persecuated and lied about for ages. Hunted down. Banished from places upon recognition. Hated by all who never even really knew him. This was caused, he lamented, by a mad and selfish dictator who made it a point cause the most intense suffering in those who would dispute his ideas of what constitutes right, wrong, and justice. He said the dictator tolerated no dissent, even if the outcome may prove positive.
For that, he was run out of every place he went. He told the businessman that he is moving to the land of America, as the people there have a tendency to remain open-minded and do not take dogmatic orders from the dictator with the fear and blind devotion that the Europeans do.
The businessman, being rational, felt badly for the gentleman, and sympathized with the plight of this kind stranger.
As they parted ways, the businessman asked the stranger's named, to which, the handsome gent simply, sadly, replied, "Satan."
It was a story that really made me think. I'm sorry that I lost it, and I'm sorry that I couldn't possibly do the story justice with this brief synopsis.

Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate":
"Y'know, boy, guilt is like a bag of fucking bricks. All you gotta do is set it down.....Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God? Well, I'll tell ya, lemme give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts! He gives this extraordinary gift and then--what does he do? I swear--for his own amusement--his own private cosmic gag reel--he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time! Look. But don't touch! Touch. But don't taste! Taste. Don't swallow! [laughs] And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, he's laughing his sick fucking ass off!! He's a tight ass, he's a sadist, he's an absentee landlord!! Worship that- never!"

The words in the Bible were written at some point in time. Would you have disbelieved them if you had been there when they were written?
What you say also makes it sound like you have closed your mind to the alternatives. If the answer to everythnig were to become apparent tomorrow you might miss it because it has not stood the test of time.
Maybe I am reading too much into your words
