You just say that because you don't understand. I can't judge you as an idiot, because I don't know about your life and I haven't been in your shoes. Again, I'm not forcing my beliefs on you. Do whatever you want, but you'll be seeing things differently when the last days come.

Of course satan is portrayed as being a bad guy in your bible. As I previously mentioned, he is used to keep all those who follow 'god' in check. To properly represent good, you must make an example of the polar opposite. You know, 'evil'.
In short, satan is used as a scape goat. People blame sin and evil in this world on him, when actually, the sin and evil can be traced back to mankind.

Satan used to be good, but he craved power and wanted to get higher and more powerful than God. In doing so, he lost his way from light and truth and fell into darkness. Satan got so jealous when God picked Jesus to be the savior instead of him, so he started a war in heaven. After this, Satan and all his followers were cast out of the presence of God and placed on Earth since it is such a far out of the way planet. God sent us down to Earth so we could be tested and a veil is placed over our minds so we do not remember when we lived with God before in heaven. Without memory of our pre-lives, we are free to choose who we worship while on the Earth. God is seperating the bad from the good to see who we follow. Those that follow God have mantles of power placed upon them, and those that follow Statan cannot return to be with God. God made the universe and everything in it. Satan had the power of light taken away from him, so all he can make are demons and unclean things. How can you worship such a looser?

After all, your god gave us freewill, did he not?

Yes, he gave you the choice to believe the stupid things you do.
I'm tired of you guys trying to shove things down my throat. You're not going to change me. I know more about God than you will ever know because He is with me, and you guys dissed Him. But God is forgiving, so if you happen to change your mind and repent of your sins, you will have a relationship with Him and He will forgive you. This offer isn't going to be going on forever, so act quickly!
