Nobody gets to use the word “logic” in defense of religion. Sorry, that’s the deal.

Sorry, For Jesus, you don’t get to think about it. Your god tests you. I recommend you go back and look at the stories of either Jonah or Job. Perhaps that’s why Satan is only mentioned three times in the Old Testament (and not in any way that the christian mythology has built around him).

But, assuming your mythology is true: your god is omniscient, yes? Then, when he created Satan, he knew Satan was going to “fall” and later tempt his playthings. Why, then, did he create Satan? The only logical answer is he did so specifically to test people, and thus is doing so indirectly.

Why does “God” allow “Satan” to commit “evil” deeds?
If “God” is omnipotent, then it can stop “Satan” from doing anything that “God” doesn’t want it to do.

I hope, for it’s survival, that human beings evolve past religion and deities, before the extremists on all sides get the rest of us killed in their retarded armageddon scenario, which they seem determined to bring about whether “God” wants it or not.

I don’t think God tempts us but Satan does. The way I have come to know this is through my church which taught that God just gives us the strength to persevere through the trials of Satan and the temptations bring us closer to Christ.
