Have you seen Soul Eater? I barely watch animes but that one was good!

In that entrance song thread I was stuck between Soul Eater and One Piece, but ultimately picked One Piece (TLaPD).

Seeing as Satan is supernatural as well, and not a complete idiot, he would know that he has already lost and would already know the fate that supposedly awaits him, So why make it worse for others? What's his motive?

He does know his fate just as the Germans did in WWII yet it did not stop them from the atrocities they continued with. Evil is blind to compassion of any kind, Satan cares nothing for humanity except to use it to hurt God, this is his motive.

Quote:How could having company comfort him in any way, since hell is supposedly the worst possible place, no company of screaming mortals would help him in any way. It would be like being on a plane of screaming young children, it would make his pain worse not better.

You're right it want help him in the end, it's not the end he really cares about, the end is a certainty for him, it's the hurt he brings to God over those who wind up in hell with him. I can't tell you what God has for Satan in hell and neither does he, but it will certainly be worse than anyone else will suffer.

Quote:If you and I were in a feud and you sent people over to me that didn't accept you or love you, why would I feel ill will towards them? They are on my side and I would want the best for them, not try to play your prison warden for you. It doesn't make sense.

Your idea of Satan in hell is wrong, Satan will not be a warden, hell will be isolated away from everything in God's creation, scripture says no one will be able to reach it. My thinking on this is hell will be in a dimension that's not reachable by anyone, sort of locked away from all creation.
Satan cares nothing for mankind his hate for God is an overriding guide to what he does. Satan doesn't want what's best for others if he did he would not be trying to collect all the trophies he can, he would have admitted his wrong and left God's creation alone.

Quote:Secondly, Is satan in hell right now? Being tortured? If so, how can he think over the pain, to give a gnat's ass about whats going on on earth?
If he likes it there and it's not torture, then why does the bible make such a big deal about sending him there?

No, Satan is not in hell yet or should I say physically. He is working to gather up all he can to hurt God, he cares nothing about you, only how he can use you to hurt God.
First hell is not a place of torture, it is a place of punishment and where did you get the idea he would enjoy the punishment set for him by God. Punishment in hell will be of different levels and that's one reason I do not think hell is a literal place of fire and brimstone. Scripture doesn't make a big deal of Satan going to hell, it does make a big deal about humans going to hell, God does not desire anyone to spend an eternity separated from Him.

Quote:Lastly, do any of you theists still believe in the "Harrowing of Hell" story?
What was that all about and why is it not universal christian canon?

I do not know about the Harrowing of Hell, I will look into it but, I would say the reason it's not part of the all Christian belief is because it's not true, but like I said I need to find out.

We all do when we sin, this would be spiritually not in a physical sense.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

He wanted goals, not souls!!!

What would Satan want with souls? Well, you need to populate the party capital of the afterlife with SOMETHING, don't you?

Jesus saves souls! And redeems them for neat prizes!
