Hi everyone, I was just thinking that the whole Satan going against God is completely unrealistic.
If u find yourself created by God and at his side, the last thing u wanna do is upset him, let alone make an ENEMY of him!!!!!!!
Does anyone else find this concept ABSURD?!?!?!!!!

P.S A 'greedy', 'jealous' Angel???????
They sound like 'human' traits!!!!!
That doesnt seem so odd but what i always had trouble figuring out was why Satan would play along with the game after all these millenia, knowing that his destruction has been scripted from day one no matter what happens and that his course has pretty much been scripted out too, cause general mayhem and evilness whenever and wherever possible. 'Why should I?' Id say. what if he just kicks back and enjoys his remaining centuries? are you gonna dock his pay? fire him? if hes really interested in convincing people of his 'side' of the issue, he should manifest himself, he'd make a much stronger case. what's stopping him?

Nope. It was Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy that came up with that trick first.

You know, I'm a pretty greedy person. Jealous too.
I can't imagine challenging some almighty immortal creature larger than life. The Devil does exist! I used to be married to her.
There is no Devil, it is only God when he is drunk.
Anyway the God of the Bible is so incredibly evil that Satan isn't neeed.
