Yes, he's a very sensitive deity. I wonder if he has abandonment issues or something.

God graciously allows the Angels to fight the battles with the Devil and his demons. God is omniscient and already knows who will be successful in every battle. If God himself were to oppose Satan it would not be a battle since God is omnipotent.

You are all-knowingly ridiculous, and your version of whatever god it is you worship is all powerfully inept.

Well, depends on the demon, and how it got into your plane. Expelling (say, exorcism) is cute, but it takes a very long time, and an exactitude few are capable of. It is a demon summoned? You mar the symbol of binding, and it'll be out of your world in a jiffy. Bonus points in humiliation if you do this with a jar of Jiffy™.

These are not easy to manage for the populace. You could consider "holy water", but it will only work if you're faith burns from within you... and I would recommend direct blood contact from the faithful. Hurts like all hell.
Is it a demon native to your plane? Afraid you're gonna have to go physical for that one, but the plus side is that you can actually kill it. As in dead. Super dead. More fun than simply banishing it.

One thing you have to remember, is that demons do not care *what* faith is bringing them down... are you a super self-confident arrogant prick who believes in himself when facing an "obviously superior" demon? Congratulations, you've met the bar to faith. Good luck, you no-talent-wannabe-badass Smile

It's not bad, either. It's a net neutral.

the physical kind god says are going to be running a muck on end times.

Actually, it is good. It shows he is taking advantage of the gift of freedom from illusions.

Why does there need to be a battle? God just wants battles? Your answer basically seems to be "God gets what he wants", which is basically tautologically true for an omnipotent being.

That being said, why does God want more people to go to hell than to heaven? That is what's happening, looking at world-wide religious demographics, and God gets what he wants. What gives?

i agree with you god is being the aggressor if you look further into it. he starts the dooms day to fight the devil and fallen angels and before that people either go to heaven or stay here on earth. then its the biggest question why doesn't god uncreate the fallen angels and lucifer because obviously he has no emotion when killing us. he is like i hate you set of people here i'm going to fuck up your day set you on fire i hate all of the world and the people except for this family i'm going to flood you bitches. out of all of that fighting over the earth were there is going to be death its redundant for god to need a army when is is so over powered and could do anything.

If an actual parent sees her two children fight, she will definitely step-in and stop the argument, instead of sitting on the sidelines with a bag of popcorn.

Odd, then, that God didn't send an angel to wrestle Jacob...

Silver. Lots. And lots. Of silver.

Silver armor. Silver weapons. Silver pygmy golems. Silver.

And remember the blood thing. If you can get some faithblood coated onto your weapons: it will eat through them like an acid. Especially if they're a demon with a beating heart... it's like a really intense poison that melts their arteries inside them.

Oh, and kindly keep the iron away from me. I can't help your kind otherwise.

Depends on how their fighting. Me and my 'younger' sister often took it to video games to 'hammer it out'. I'd popcorn that up, I would.
