Does Satan work for God?
January 22, 2014 at 7:30 am
There is something that doesn't make any sense to me that I'd like input on:

If you don't worship God/Jesus you go to hell.

Satan punishes those in hell (because they didn't worship God/Jesus).

Why? Surely Satan will be waiting for you to give you a pat on the back for rejecting God as he did? What is Satan punishing you for exactly? Does Satan want you to worship God afterall?

Makes no sense to me. You?

I'm not so sure Satan's actually doing the torturing. He's actually being burned, too. And weeping and gnashing his teeth.

...or something like that...
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

Satan is just God's alter ego

This is what happens when you get your information about Christian theology from Looney Tunes.
My ignore list




"The lord doesn't work in mysterious ways, but in ways that are indistinguishable from his nonexistence."
-- George Yorgo Veenhuyzen quoted by John W. Loftus in The End of Christianity (p. 103).

First time I ever heard that version. Where did you get it from?

Also - who's doing the torturing?

No one. It's the place itself that's doing the torturing.

I don't think uncle Luci works for anyone.
Send him someone bad and he'll eat their liver.
He usually always shares the other bits freely.

Revelation 20:10

"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

I don't suppose there's any "torture" besides just burning.

Judaism= Satan is gods helper. Christianity= Lucifer is a fallen angel.
Judaism= no hell. Christianity= hell.
Judaism= original. Christianity= not original.
