Which to prefer, the lesser or greater of two evils?
I guess you don't know your scripture as well as I thought you did. Satan doesn't run hell.
God does.
And as I already said, I don't think that you couldn't stand it if someone burned out your eyes, or sliced off your ears, before recanting your words and exclaiming your belief in God.

Well, you would have the strength, if those convictions were actually based on something, but from the way I see it, they have no real basis, so there is no reason behind your martydom in whatever cause you profess to.
What is your higher purpose?

Well, you don't know me so you can't speak on my behalf.

My higher purpose?

To help people and, hopefully, make the world a slightly better place by my presence.

Where did I get my higher purpose?

I chose it for myself.
