Who was "he" talking to?

How do you know all this, GC? From where are you getting your information?

The Bible gives us more info about Satan than you might realize. The history of other religions. Taking what I know about each subject I can reason out these things, God gave us a mind to use not to waste.

GC, I think you are a very kind and genuine person. I'm glad you're here.

The problem with "other religion is wrong because X" is that it can be turned round and used against you. And of course, it is. We just have loads of different people from different religions claiming to be right, and no way for an outsider to tell the difference.

Not that I would join any of them, even if there was a real one.

Remind me why God lets Satan do anything?

Satan is not necessarily involved in these religions, he help these religions along and left the nature of men to grab ahold of them. Satan is not omnipresent so he can't effect the masses by dealing with people one at a time, ie. speaking to them. Satan takes on those who can influence the most people and keep himself hidden, if people understood he was involved they would stay away from such peoples. Satan is not omniscient, he is very clever as witnessed in the Garden of Eden. Satan can and would take the lives of all the lost at any given moment if God did not limit him, we know this from the book of Job. There are few religions that recognize Satan in their religion and if they did they would have ways to deal with him. If they knew of his influence in their religions they would run from it or accept the influence and become evil in their dealings with mankind. When one hears from God they need only to line up what they heard with the teachings of the Bible and know who they have heard from. Before you suggest that Satan could do this remember that Christ said, " a house divided against itself can't stand."

This means that Satan is limited in ways that God is not, and he should be far less influential-- God can speak to each of us directly in many ways, Satan must find less direct and less effective means of reaching people. If this is the case, then we would expect far more people to have found the same God and fewer people to be convinced by false ones. It doesn't make sense for Satan to be as successful as he has been.

Ironically he gets it from Satan's buttcrack.

If only you knew what darkness lay deep beneath the depths of your soul, GC, then God could mend the filth inside it.
