You are not making any sense. Why would being hidden be the greatest advantage. It could be an advantage, but why the greatest advantage?
Do you know how many people in history have been defeated by underestimated enemies? A lot. How many have been defeated by unkown enemies?

It would seem so. It seems nothing would veer you from the path of Satan set upon by your bible to the path of righteousness.

HE DID NOT.
That is a lie spread by Satan to deceive everyone. Think about it. Would god, the very epitome of justice, commit such a heinous act of injustice as to punish one person for sins of everyone else?
God will not forgive anyone who accepts - no reveres - such an immoral act as something good.

That is exactly what Satan wants you to think. So that you would stop trying to earn forgiveness altogether and therefore, never get it.

My heart weeps for you.
Oh lord, forgive this deluded child, for he knows not that the human mind is the most shining example of your divine glory and any insult to this divine creation of yours is an insult to you and your magnificence.
What am I saying? Do not forgive him. For he must learn that your forgiveness must be earned. Then and only then would this lost lamb finally be free of Satan's hold and his corrupting work - the bible.

BLASPHEMY.
How dare you accuse god of such injustice? Justice means giving to the person as he deserves. How dare you suppose that god's love would be given to you without you having done anything to deserve it?
How far has Satan corrupted you? Is there no distance you would not go not insult god, his holy magnificence and his holy creation.

Fool. Do you not realize that Satan cannot remain hidden. If he acts in the world, he will be known. The best he can do is to control how people see him. And he has done a magnificent job of it. He has the majority of world convinced that faith is the currency while dealing with god, not reason.
