@ Perry: "The idea that God is evil and satan is good is an old gnostic heresy."
I forget where but there is a biblical passage that says that God is the maker of both good and evil.
God was the cause of the evil

The problem is these writings that are in the bible are copies from older writings and involve other gods and even more then one god. Noah's flood for example is a copy of older stories where by one god Enlil wants to kill off all mankind and another god Enki is the one that saves them by telling Gilgamesh/Anthrasas/Noah to build a boat.
So now when these Jewish writers are trying to make these writings their own and then make them about only one god things are obviously going to get all screwed up.

Satan sold ALL of Adams children into slavery of sin and then death.
Did he own us? If not how could he sell us? If he did sell us, who to? God did most of the killing, like 99.99999% of it. Why is Satan the bad guy?

Isaiah 45:7, an oldie but a goodie.
