You actually believe not just that one character created the cosmos but that another one is the incarnation of pure evil on the level of Sauron? Just remember atheism can't go away until there are no god beliefs to be dismissed.
My post addressed the issue of abusers in religion, which is right on topic, and the last lines are a conclusion to the matter for the benefit of those who can't see an end to abuse in the church or world, and who are actually monitoring world events. So it wasn't as off topic as a debate on SDA history, which was bought up by someone who knows something about it, but is so disenchanted that they are looking for the nearest opportunity to vent.
And please don't tell me what I believe.
Not my intention to tell you what you believe but didn't you just reference the intentions of one Mr. Satan? if you don't actually believe in god and the devil as the personification of good and evil, I am relieved. I'm not so much for the dissolution of religious belief as I am for better theology. I think the best theology no longer requires the supernatural category.
