    Weirdly, though, he can’t just snap his fingers and make Satan vanish.

    I guess he’s not that omnipotent.

        Yeah, but evangelicals also think Satan does all sorts of trickery on Earth all the time to thwart God. Which God somehow lets happen.

        And then, of course, there’s the fact that people can hurt their omnipotent god by doing things like saying “fuck” or kissing someone of their own gender. The god that’s also omniscient, so he would have seen it coming before he did all the light let there being.

          Satan has to exist. Otherwise they would be responsible for the fucked up shit that they do.

          I’m a good Christian. I only did a shit ton of drugs and orgies because SATAN made me do it. I can’t go to hell because of what the devil did in my body. I can atone with god and he will clear my soul of wrongdoing. And then I can walk around in public without shame again.

            The best part is all you have to do is say you’re sorry and you go to heaven. Then you just do more drugs and have more sex and then just say you’re sorry again… works every time!

          God is secretly horny for all that shit, He’s Satan’s bottom.

          He’s just repressed, like a Republican senator.

          Weird how we all make gods in our own image

          I’m firmly convinced that Christianity can be broken into polytheistic (folk Catholics especially), dualistic (everyone screaming about the devil), and monotheistic (all Christians are influenced by it and so any individual Christian may be). The dualists scare me
