I don't know how I missed this, but this was the way I felt before I got to see Hell. Let's just hope when you get to see it there is a return trip planned for you as with me.

Apparently he has created a universe of sentient beings that generally prefer to go it without him. Doesn't that seem like a planned outcome?
As per gen 3 beings of heaven have full knoweledge of Good and evil, so Satan was created with this knoweledge.
How do you figure that most don't want to be with Him? If you look at the history of the world the vast majority of us have indeed worship or tried to worship Some sort of God. The only think the mucks that up is with true sentience people get to make their own choices.

Here evil as per the life of job has to do with causing the resistance needed to challenge force us to a point where an honest decision can be made about eternal service to God.
In the parable of the wise and foolish builders evil in the wind and rain that proofs the house we built and its foundations.
Is shonuff the cats name?
Wow, nice sermon.
Isn't Job the guy, who lost everything because of a fucking wager between god and Satan? Yeah, I know, he was rewarded tenfold after the fact, but his family members were still goners.
Not the most inspiring example, I would say.

As in the tale of Job, where his superstition was spurred on by the most grievous and turbulent circumstances that could ravish a person's intellectual and emotional well-being. That's always a good place to make objective judgments.
