      Satan welcomes all people, from all walks of life, with open arms. God is a bigot who only accepts certain people, if they’re “good enough”. It’s also my understanding that God killed over 2-million people, while satan only killed 10.

      Tell me how God loves me unconditionally again?

        And also God apparently has so much power he could fix everything in this world with little effort. But no, he specifically creates it. God created all there is, including all the bad stuff. Murderers? Rapists? Slave owners? …? Yep. But, “Do not question God’s intentions. He works in mysterious ways.”

          There’s a great DarkMatter2525 video on this. By valuing “free will” over helping people, he directly favors evil. Man rapes woman, but god doesn’t help because “free will”. The woman had no “free will” to prevent it. Bad guy gets what he wanted, victim gets trauma.

            Like free speech for Nazis, even though they’ve broken the social contract and don’t deserve air.

          He also kills defenseless babies before they can be baptized. And if life begins at conception, why is God pubishing babies by killing them in the womb (aka stillborn)? Why do they deserve to be stuck in purgatory when they are innocent?

        If God only accepts certain people, then why did He die for everybody?

          The belief in a hell or in a Limbo kind of prove that paradise is not for everyone. Depends which dogmas you grew up with, at this point.
          About God being sacrificed to himself, it was mainly a way to stop an old tradition of sacrificing goats every year in order to atone for sins. Now people can just say that the Christ already died for that, so they don’t have to act like barbarians and kill poor animals. Which is great, to be fair.

              “I sell luxury housing for everyone, it’s not my fault if some people are poor!”

              My brother in christ, YOU made poor people.

      Technically, Satan is a creation of God. Otherwise christianism would be polytheistic. So even if you consider Satan as the good guy, God is still responsible for both good and evil.

        Christianity is has almost always been so dangerously close to polytheism that it’s laughable it isn’t considered to be.

        It’s just bureaucracy at this point, I guess it’s not polytheism if you lower everyone to “middle manager god”

      Satan: bet that guy wouldn’t worship you anymore if you ruined his life

      God: Totally would, watch me kill his whole family

      They are both on team asshole

      God needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps. He can’t expect to have everyone’s souls handed to him.

    Lucy was the angel who stood up to their bloodthirsty megalomaniacal father and got kicked out for it. Why would I want to hang out with the judgmental prick instead of the guy who just wants everyone to eat drink and be merry?
