Really? If the Bible is true, it follows that Satan is nearly as dumb as a rock. He goes up against a power he knows is omnipotent, knows his defeat is foreordained, knows his fate is eternal anguish and torture, but goes through the motions like he's got a chance in hell (heh) of winning.
For Satan to make any sense at all, one of the following must be true: 1. God is NOT omnipotent. 2. The outcome is NOT foreordained. 3. His stay in hell won't be as bad as advertised. 4. The whole thing is a cosmic morality play where Satan's role is to play the Adversary to God, so he must play his role due to lack of free will. 5. He's nearly as dumb as a brick, too stupid to know he doesn't have a chance against omnipotence.
You believe this silly crap because you believe what's in the Bible is true. You believe the Bible is true because it's what you were raised to believe. If you'd been raised a Yazidi in Iraq, you'd believe Lucifer repented and was redeemed and is back to being one of God's high-ranking lieutenants: THAT's an intelligent Satan.

He's got many North Koreans convinced he's a demigod. How do you know they are wrong? I'm very interested in how you repond to this, because there's a good chance you don't believe Kim is a demigod for the same reason we don't believe Jesus was: the evidence for Kim having supernatural powers is all hearsay.

The Bible tells us Jesus was a man. He was born, he lived, he died. He grew in wisdom and favor with God. He marveled and wept. God knows the day and the hour, but Jesus doesn't. He did not do his own will, but God's will, so his will was not identical to God's. Jesus was a man. Kim Jun may not be.

You haven't yet established that God is not a fictional character. Even if there is a God, it may bear little resemblance to the magnified oriental potentate depicted in the OT, which would make that God fictional even if there is a God. We can compare all day long until you prove your deity isn't a human construct.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
