As an Atheist I don't have Satan influencing me to be bad.
I think this is one of the best questions I have heard and I can't believe I have never thought about it that way
And as someone who was a fervent theist, I have never believed in hell. How can you really believe that would want to torment people forever as a punishment and say that he is a god of love. The bible says that the wages sin pays is death and the dead have been forgiven of all sins. God in my opinion, would rather humans do the wrong thing for the right reason than the right thing for the wrong reason. I am losing my faith but I still don't find god as the megalomaniac that gets described here. I do think god, if he exists, made man in his image. And if he doesn't exist means that god reflects mans nature. I think that you should ask yourself why you worship god, because you don't want to go to hell, or because you love him and you don't let his commandments be a burden to you?
