In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

Christians enjoy forgetting that they plagiarized the bible. Genesis was Babylonian, and Jesus seems oddly similar to Mithras and Horus. I'm sure I'm forgetting dozens of other thefts of unintellectual property.

That's what religion implies.


no he didnt the demon is a rebel angel that wanted to be like god and create a tyranny he was defeated and sealed in the hell and both forces are the equilibrium of the world

Then either all angels have God's power and he keeps them locked up (in which case, what a power hungry dick) or he gave lucifer that power, omnisciently knowing he would rebel (in which case, what a dick)

Oh, I always love this point. The fact that he created evil and allows evil acts to occur even though he's omnipotent and omniscient, shows malevolence in the purest form.

And even after the fall, the story of Job makes it clear that he could actually stop Lucifer from inflicting harm anytime he wanted to.

The Babylonians told a story similar to Genesis, which the Hebrews then took and wrote down eventually. Happy?

That is illogical though...
By allowing his existence, God is condemning millions of people to his temptation. By just accelerating the time when he redeems himself, world could be all good.
