You may even ask yourself if my conclusion is correct... the devil's greatest achievement was not in convincing man that he does not exist, but that he is GOD!
Or it was a incredible plan to make a recreation .As a person may have a fondness or friendship with another human being they share a level of love .If that other person happens to put their life on the line to save the other person from certain death there should arise a greater bond . The Bible gives hints that there was a rebellion in the spiritual realm and those beings were going to be cast out and so God seems to have created man to both replace those heavenly beings and create a more loyal creature based on His redemption of them . Even a young child could imagine their parent a psychopath because of the lack of understanding of discipline .
The god of your fables is either a complete moron or a psychopath.
Redemption . There seems to be no redemption for the heavenly beings but is for man .
Which was what exactly?
Redemption . There seems to be no redemption for the heavenly beings but is for man

Good point but if one was to imagine that He turned the ownership over to one of His created beings and put them in charge then it could have been possible for them to loose it .Knowing that that would happen He would need a plan to get it back . In fact He says that He did come to seek and save that which He didn't loose . Adam lost it and He redeemed it . It's all about redemption .

If He only intervened in mans evil choices we could not show free will .The mere fact that evil and goodness exist is because we humans have the ability to make those choices .This is no longer Paradise even though that though is one we have and should try to aspire to .Trying to make things better while others couldn't give a hoot and being greedy at the cost of others . We impose temporal judgement on those that would violate that code or we seem to know that we should .
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”

Thank you for the explanation. The first thing people do is blame themselves.

would it not be required of us as the creators of these beings to stop it and show them how to live in harmony with all life?

But this "god" gives orders to slaughter children, and even his own son for that matter, for his own twisted ego.

Even communion is a blood ritual. The drinking of blood AND the eating of flesh as well now that I think about it.

The tree is known by it's fruit. His fruit is war, despair, chaos, suffering and pain. And in his methods of seeding his agenda, he convinced humanity that by their very birth, they have sinned in his eyes.
