You seem to be a person that believes in common sense and moderation, qualities that cannot be found in religious fanatics.

I am a father to my kids. They don't always like me, but they respect me. And they're turning out just fine.
Don't always have to agree with God, but do respect Him, or He can make your life hell.
really? i thought god gave us free will so we can do whatever the hell we want without him interfering? so which is it? is he going to make my life hell or is he going to wait til i die?
You'll make your own life hell with your own unhealthy choices.
really? just a few minutes ago it was god who would make my life hell and now i'm going to do it? make up your mind.

Satan is playing you and you think he is cool ?
PS read Revelation, they describe you in there. It might open your eyes.
Um, no.
PS...learn to think for yourself.

Ugh...that is such dark-ages thinking...I'm not sure whether to be astounded or disgusted.
Good and evil are not aspects of nature, they're human-made constructs...and outdated concepts at that.
Your black and white view is sad, and primitive...and...just...sad.

You sound like you are full of yourself.
Why bother talking about Satan if you don't believe in God.
Your self importance shows.
As I said you might want to read a certain book, before you feel so certain.
Satan has tricked you all, and it was easy for him. (as has been written)
oh yeah? then why do religious people have " beware of dog" signs on their fences instead of beware of god? why do religious people get medical treatment when they clearly think god decide when they go? why do catholics force people to convert before marriage when god gave us free will? why do god hate homo yet your leaders are pedophile? if the pope is so holy how come he doesn't have magical powers? if god is so giving how ocme churches need donations?
if satan is so evil how come he never says a damn thing? if satan is so evil hwo come god is always attacking him? how can satan be evil if he never does anything to anyone? satan don't ask for your money, he doesn't make you waste your sundays. he doesn't threaten you with hell, he doesn't lie to your kids about heaven.
if there was a war between heaven and hell i'll fight for satan.
why do god hate homo yet your leaders are pedophile?
if the pope is so holy how come he doesn't have magical powers?
If answering prayers counts as magic in your books, I think he has a few! If it doesn't, then good for you, because magic and prayer are two entirely different actions. I hope the pope has no magic powers, only Gods righteousness in his life. Who knows what the truth is, the vatican is not a sanctuary, and the pope is a very political figure. Stop looking at figureheads that way bud. They're only talking heads for causes, right?
if god is so giving how ocme churches need donations?
Bad stick on your fire. I'm sure you can figure that one out yourself.
As for the rest of your points, you have to understand the devil, and why he will appear as a deadly thug in your mind one hour, and an angel of light the next. But it's never friendly, never an absence of overpowering involved. A mighty angel once, and a mighty fiend now. Any demon can masquerade as the devil - anything goes! - and it's good to develop a stoic sense of guardianship over your senses of spiritual awe when you encounter "thoughts"

...The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

How about you let me know what you think...
And I'll let you know when I care what you think.
You have nothing of importance to say.
I do consider myself important, because to me, I am.
If I'm "full of myself", then good...at least I'm confident.
