Which in your orginal statment you indentified God as a dictator therfore real to you as far as this 'what if' is concerned. (Even though technically he would be ruling a theocracy and not a dictatorship.) And two, you would vote for satan to rule over you???
Quote: Why believe what an evil being says about someone who opposed that evil being? It doesn't say much about Satan when someone who committed genocide calls him evil. Usually when someone tries to overthrow a dictator, we don't take that dictator's word that he's evil.
Well, then may i suggest that you embrace Hell. Isn't it your understanding that he rules that realm?
Yahweh claims to be the alpha and omega. The only one. Proof of these claims has yet to arise. As for Satan, I'd like to meet him as much as Yahweh. The only thing I know about him, assuming he exists for this hypothetical, is that he opposed Yahweh and Yahweh accuses him of being evil. The guy that kills people for things other people did, and wiped out civilizations for not worshiping him thinks someone is evil. Yeah that sounds like a trustworthy source of information.
I will go where I will go. I can't be ordered to love someone, and I can't willingly accept the things I'm expected to accept in the bible, so there isn't much I can do about it.
