I am just wondering, lets assume the bible is true, and the Devil is real - so why doesnt he pick up a copy of the bible, skip to revelations and read how he is going to lose.

If he knows this, then why not change and ask god to forgive him?

pot committed

great answer, made me lol in real life.

Yes, he knows......His Job is to try and collect/divert souls away from God to him. The more souls he can get to be with him is his goal. Satan knows he will end up in the lake of fire, but I don't think he cares. Satan would never ask God forgiveness, by rejecting God - Satan became is own God. Satan is happy where he is at.

Great question OP, great answer 1st. I merely lol'd virtually though.

That said, consider this possibility:

Religion is the work of the Devil.

And you know all this how? You have talked with satan and know exactly what hes thinking, and why hes doing what hes doing?

All the time, he comes to my weekly Stud/8 game at my house.

Louie has been an absolute bitch to get a hold of ever since Johnny handed his ass to him. I tried calling him the other day but he was out practicing fiddling.

lol

you're trying to make sense of a story that just won't make any sense cause it was made up by someone who didn't realize that the story won't make sense if questioned deeply...

No, you're wrong.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

level?

I'm not sure...

But what if the devil does exist, and he is the one who made people believe there is a God and have them follow all these weird rules and stuff. Just for kicks you know. Because he is the devil and all that.

No, I don't actually believe that, but it seems a lot more plausible than what most religious folks believe.

"There is no Devil" -

Real Christians
&
Atheists

Suppose the Devil knows what the bible says in revelations but he still goes thew with his plot, that tells me two things,

1. The Devil is pretty stupid because he knows God, seen him, talked to him got kicked out of the bar and got a perma-ban and knows hes going to lose.

or

2. The Devil knows that God is capable of lieing.

IMO I have a coined a saying, you win when you lose. Meaning the Devil has more information than us, he can re-level god, instead of being hell-bent on destruction and trying to be god why not just gather every country in the world, every single angel and god himself and say "hey God, I am sorry for everything I have done, wont you forgive me?"

Now God is a tough spot, he cant say yes I forgive because that makes whatever the bible says a complete lie. If he says no, then God looks a fool IMO. Its win - win.

I don't see the problem with God forgiving the Devil. What's wrong with making the bible a lie? We already know tons of parts of the bible that are not false. Why should God be restricted by the writings of men?

polytheistic religions like christianity never make much sene

So nothing from the bible can be taken as true since it was all written by men?

No god, no jesus, no heaven, no hell, no adam and eve, no sin, no 3 wise men, no 10 commandments, no 12 disciples, no resurrection, then nothing from the bible can be taken as true. Since it is all written by men!

Yep.

This is really nitpicking. Why not just take the fact that the bible says the world is 5000 years old, and science has blatantly proven that wrong?

This pretty much puts the credibility of the entire bible in question....

Well Played!

YUP LOL'ed IRL nice one my son
