44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
That doesn't help your position.
That is just exactly what the bad one would say to fool you into believing he is the good one.
Do you think the majority of people in North Korea believe Kim Jong-un is bad?
Let me break it to you, they don't. Since he has control of the media, he is able to make everyone in North Korea believe he is close to a god, and that the US and other western democracies are evil.
Again, how do you know that the 'Yahweh' character is the good one, and the 'Satan' character is the bad one? All you can do is quote the book that was inspired by the one that controlled the content and depicts himself as being the good one.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
